You're telling that you tested this on XP for the first time now. You didn't mentioned the server OS anywhere in this thread. We only know it's not Cygwin and it's not Linux but some sort of "real" unix(*) which apparently doesn't use PAM. You didn't tell if you tried anything to diagnose the problem further. You did not mention if you ever tested it in other scenarios, like a Cygwin -> Linux or a Cygwin -> Cygwin connection or between XP->Vista and Vista->XP, etc. You didn't reply to Dave's question about any specific software on the Vista machine. There's just the bare fact "it hangs in this one instance". Do you really think a bug report is useful with all that guesswork left? Apart from that, I have only Cygwin and Linux ready for testing and debugging. If you use any other OS, you will have to debug this problem by yourself. Of course, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC.
