I run "strace ssh user@xx.xx.xx.xx" and I got the error that 
cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll was not installed. So I installed openssl-0.9.8d-1, 
which stored that library under /usr/bin directory. On a new cygwin 
window, I run the command again and got the same error. Then I run 
"cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out", which I send attatched. There is 
something I wonder about. In cygcheck output, there is this:

Path:    C:\Cygwin\usr\local\bin
            C:\Cygwin\bin
            C:\Cygwin\bin
            C:\Cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
            c:\WINDOWS\system32
            c:\WINDOWS
            c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
            c:\Archivos de programa\SecureCRT\
            c:\Archivos de programa\QuickTime\QTSystem\
            c:\Archivos de programa\OpenVPN\bin
            c:\Archivos de programa\SSH Communications Security\SSH 
Secure Shell

Here it is not listed the directory C:\Cygwin\usr\bin, where the 
cygcrypto library is located. But then, I checked the PATH env variable, 
and got this:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Archivos 
de programa/SecureCRT/:/cygdrive/c/Archivos de 
programa/QuickTime/QTSystem/:/cygdrive/c/Archivos de 
programa/OpenVPN/bin:/cygdrive/c/Archivos de programa/SSH Communications 
Security/SSH Secure Shell

where /usr/bin is listed. Does this make sense?

A last thing. The vpn client I am running is openvpn on Windows XP.
