I powered up the XP box, ran the test with telnet and ssh to self and 
got failure. Figured it was time to dig through Cygwin. Powered down to 
go do some errands.

Powered back up and, after checking for existing issues, getting the 
email ready, and the cygcheck done, I tried Ed's test one last time. It 
worked this time (?huh?). Powered up an F16 box and tried both direction 
ssh. It worked.

I did at least one power cycle yesterday on the XP and, as stated above, 
got the failure on XP box today.

So, this is solved by reason of POM (phase-of-moon). I apologize for the 
noise even though, given at least one power cycle on a F16 and XP 
machines, it was still giving me the error. I can only mumble "Windows 
..." under my breath and continue working on F16

Thanks,
