openssh.README is wrong.

Re: Zsh completion problem

2011-04-01 Thread Vikas Mishra
Any suggestions anyone? I would really like to have completion in my zsh shells. Incidentally I installed from source in cygwin and still have the same issue. So I don't believe it is a package issue. I think it may be a bigger issue with my cygwin environment. Regards, Vikas On Thu, Mar 24, 2011

Hi folks, I recently had to reinstall Cygwin. 900 apps showed up as incomplete in the cygcheck -srv output. Go figure; I obviously did something wrong somewhere. :-) Anyway, I'm getting the wrinkles out. There are no more incomplete packages. In looking at /etc I see both apache and apache.n
