What do you mean when you write: ``strange quoting''?

:  more explanation about what you mean by "source a file", i.e., provide
:  step by step instructions for duplicating the problem?

On a bash-prompt started from cygwin.bat I type ``
. startsshd
'', where startsshd contains: ``
#!/bin/bash

sshd_pid=`ps |grep -i /usr/sbin/sshd |sed 's, *\([^ ]*\).*,\1,'`

if test -z "$sshd_pid" ; then
 /usr/sbin/sshd ;
 sshd_pid=`ps |grep -i /usr/sbin/sshd |sed 's, *\([^ ]*\).*,\1,'` ;
 PS1='sshd='$sshd_pid';'$PS1 ;
 trap 'sshd_pid=`ps |grep -i /usr/sbin/sshd |sed '\''s, *\([^ ]*\).*,\1,'\''`;if
 test -n "$sshd_pid"; then kill $sshd_pid; else echo sshd not running!; fi' 0 ;
else
 echo sshd already running';' pid=$sshd_pid';' ;
fi
''.

Then from another console or another machine, login as I described
before. Now on the (w85) machine, one (ssh <machine>) or two
(ssh <machine> bash -li) extra blank consoles appear. If in the
2nd case (ssh <machine> bash -li), I type ``tty'' at the prompt
from the console/machine where I logged in, it reports back:
``not a tty'', instead of the usual /dev/ttyN.


Need more info? Ask.


L8r,

Buzz.
