Running ssh, X under Cygwin
Make sure you install every package you need: there are lots now - maybe 1.5GB of software!
On the screen that lets you choose packages, if you click on the icon to the right of "All" category, or on the word "Default", you can change "Default" to "Instal;l", which means install everything.
You need to have passwords and groups set up properly.
Run "mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd; mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd"
Also run "mkgroup -l > /etc/group; mkgroup -d >> /etc/group"
Run the script: ssh-host-config to configure ssh.
Use ssh -Y when logging into a Unix system, not ssh -X.
When you're starting X, there are more options than in a normal Unix system. In particular, -multiwindow means use Windows as your window manager - so if you have another window manager in your ~/.xinitrc file, it'll bail out.

GROUP(5) Linux Programmer's Manual GROUP(5)
NAME
group - user group file
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/group file is a text file that defines the groups on the system. There is one entry per line, with the following format:
group_name:password:GID:user_list
The fields are as follows:
group_name the name of the group.
password the (encrypted) group password. If this field is empty, no password is needed.
GID the numeric group ID.
user_list a list of the usernames that are members of this group, separated by commas.
FILES
/etc/group
BUGS
As the 4.2BSD initgroups(3) man page says: no one seems to keep /etc/group up-to-date.
