Re: [ssh-l] path problems when logged in through cygwin ssh

Have you rebooted since you set it as a system variable? Doing a net
stop sshd, setting system PATH=%PATH%;d:\cygwin\bin, and then a net
start sshd is NOT sufficient, you actually would need to restart the NT
services manager which AFAIK is impossible without a reboot. If you have
rebooted since you set system path to include d:\cygwin\bin and you get
the same error, then it sounds like you have a problem with your system
path- make sure there are no paths in double-quotes in your path- e.g.
C:\winnt\system32;"c:\Program Files";

Also, you probably shouldn't have "." twice in your path. Generally you
only want one instance of a directory in your path. And do you actually
have a directory called C:\WINNTsystem??? I have one called
C:\WINNT\system, but it is not in my path. And why is
d:\cygwin\usr\local\bin first in your SYSTEM path? Or are you changing
the path for some reason when you start sshd?

Your mouse has moved.
Windows NT must be restarted for the change to take effect.
Reboot now?  [OK]
