still having problem: devenv through sshd

[Derek Lei Liu]

I am running 1.5.25(0.156/4/2), not sure if that is what you meant by 
1.5.25-7. Also, if it isn't, how to completely wipe out cygwin and reinstall 
again?

On this issue, i have tried two reinstallation on two XP machines (just 
remove c:\cygwin and some registries). I also tried install Visual Studio 
2005 service pack1. Also tried the hot fix on one machine. All these efforts 
didn't work. So my question is: has any one actually have it working on XP? 
(be able to passwordlessly run devenv through sshd). Can people share 
experience (hopefully successful experience) on this?

thanks

Derek
