I am using cygwin in windows 7. When I connect to a remote ssh tectia server(version 6.4) through ssh tectia client sshg3.exe(version 6.3.10), from a cygwin terminal, I can successfully login and for some reason I cannot see my usual dollar shell prompt. The remote ssh session spawns a ksh. I have tried renaming my existing .profile(thinking the problem lies some where inside) and also tried manually running bash on remote session. Under no circumstance, does a shell prompt appear. I can however, successfully execute all commands on the remote session. The command is echoed back to my local session along with the output.
Running the same sshg3.exe client from a windows 'cmd.exe' shell on the same desktop, connecting to the same tectia server, there is no issue in seeing the shell prompt, even from my customized $HOME/.profile. After adding -t flag to sshg3, the client 'allocates a tty even if command is given', I get my shell prompts back. However, every command I enter in the remote session is echoed twice, which is annoying. Also, remote session is setting TERM to vt100 and vi editor commands don't work. In case anyone is wondering, why would I use sshg3.exe in the first place, the remote tectia ssh server is kicking out cygwin's native open ssh client during authentication. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
