The confusion may come from me. ;-)
So are you saying that all Cygwin services effectively use ptys?
Rereading the original post, I note that KenLee only said 'cmd' was started
once in the OpenSSH session. I also assumed he invoked 'ssh' from a
console, which may make a difference if the answer to the above question
is "no". But that assumption is unsubstantiated by the available
information. ;-)
