Re: Using certain commands

Are you sure putting the directories in your path is sufficient for
cygwin? When you use cygwin while sitting at the machine, you may
have all sorts of environment variables set up based on your Windows
login. When you ssh in instead, any setup that's done via the normal
Windows mechanisms may not have occurred. If all of these commands do
work while you're sitting at the machine, I suggest typing "printenv"
there and seeing if anything else like a "cygwin home" or "shared
library path" or anything jumps out. It *may* be that you have to set
up more than just the path.

In any event, this is certainly just a problem with cygwin itself and
not anything to do with the particular program you use to connect to
it. You should be able to recreate the problem from various other
computers, and possibly by ssh-ing to the machine from itself, even.
