Re: launching GUI programs via command-line ssh

[Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha at cs dot nyu dot edu>]

Actually, most of the first ten or so hits are outdated.  David, you can
simply add the "-i" (--interactive) flag to cygrunsrv when setting up sshd
(you can temporarily edit the ssh-host-config script -- line 556 for
Win2003, line 563 otherwise).  Note that this will cause a CMD window to
pop up for the sshd process (can't be avoided).

Perhaps we should add a "-i" option to ssh-host-config (using the attached
patch)?  Corinna, what do you think?
