To sum things up....

Cygwin ----> via ssh to 3 X F16 systems All OK.

3 X F16 systems ----> Cygwin via ssh All Fail.

Yes?

On an F16 system....

telnet cygwin 22       results in "Connection refused"

Yes?

settings (especially defaults) are normally used to restrict inbound connections, not
outbound.
