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.

knife-ssh
KNIFE-SSH(1) Chef Manual KNIFE-SSH(1)
NAME
knife-ssh - Run a command or interactive session on multiple remote hosts
SYNOPSIS
knife ssh QUERY COMMAND (options)
-a, --attribute ATTR
The attribute to use for opening the connection - default is fqdn
-C, --concurrency NUM
The number of concurrent connections
-m, --manual-list
QUERY is a space separated list of servers
-P, --ssh-password PASSWORD
The ssh password
-x, --ssh-user USERNAME
The ssh username
-i, --identity-file IDENTITY_FILE
The SSH identity file used for authentication
-p, --ssh-port PORT
The ssh port
--[no-]host-key-verify
Verify host key, enabled by default.
DESCRIPTION
The ssh sub-command opens an ssh session to each of the nodes in the search results of the QUERY. This sub-command requires that the
net-ssh-multi and highline Ruby libraries are installed. On Debian systems, these are the libnet-ssh-multi-ruby and libhighline-ruby pack-
ages. They can also be installed as RubyGems (net-ssh-multi and highline, respectively).
TERMINAL MULTIPLEXING AND TERMINAL TAB SUPPORT
knife ssh integrates with several terminal multiplexer programs to provide a more convenient means of managing multiple ssh sessions. When
the COMMAND option matches one of these, knife ssh will create multiple interactive ssh sessions running locally in the terminal multi-
plexer instead of invoking the command on the remote host.
The available multiplexers are:
interactive
A built-in multiplexer. interactive supports running commands on a subset of the connected hosts in parallel
screen(1)
Runs ssh interactively inside screen. ~/.screenrc will be sourced if it exists.
tmux(1)
Runs ssh interactively inside tmux.
macterm (Mac OS X only)
Opens a Terminal.app window and creates a tab for each ssh session. You must install the rb-appscript gem before you can use this
option.
