OpenSSH tunnel hanging

[1.7] Accented characters don't work

What am I doing wrong with my first tries of 1.7? I created in Windows Explorer a directory Ébène and in it a file très. When I look at it with ls in an rxvt window I don't see the accented characters but the two utf-8 bytes. Hm. I then created the same directory from tcsh (my standard shell)

This issue still exists. Personally I really don't want the cygwin version to use the cygwin iODBC libraries. I like the cygwin Win32::ODBC to use the windows ODBC dll. I would rather see a Win32::iODBC module or something like that if i want to use the cygwin iODBC libraries over the windo

Puppet in Cygwin [ping Reini]

It would be great to port Puppet to Cygwin. Puppet's scope on a Cygwin host is going to be more limited than on Linux, just because Cygwin's scope is limited. Puppet could easily manage Cygwin's file and services, but managing Windows files and services would take more work because the environm

Problem [1.7]: Inconsistent and wrong results from e.g. ls and md5sum

I am having ongoing problems with file processing using [1.7] with W7 on FAT32. The problems are not specific to ls and md5sum but may serve to illustrate a deeper problem. Of course it might be the W7/FAT32 platform that is inducing the poor behaviours but I would like to try to gather evidenc
