We ask that you *attach* rather than append/embed this information.  It
makes searching the archives for terms common in cygcheck output more
fruitful.

I'd highly recommend binary mounts.

This is out of date.  You may want to consider upgrading.

I'd recommend looking at debug output.  It's easiest to start with
the client, though often not terribly helpful.  If you don't see
anything that keys you into the problem, you can set up the server
as debug too, which gives better information often but is a little
bit more effort.  See 'man ssh' and 'man sshd' for info on getting
debug output.
