[mosh-devel] cygwin now added

[Daniel Richards]

Cygwin on win74 64bit output:
"
kyhwana at cheetah ~
$ mosh --ssh="ssh -p 1000 -i privatekey -v" kyhwana at kyhwana.org
Hangup

kyhwana at cheetah ~
$ Enter passphrase for key 'privatekey':

kyhwana at cheetah ~
$
"

Note that "Enter passphrase for key 'privatekey':" looks like it's
showing up in the background and isn't actually in the foreground
where I can type in my passphrase.

Note that I don't have this problem in Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. It must be
some cygwin thing?
