It seems like you can admin the local box, so can you add your laptop's ip to the hosts.deny or whatever the proper file is?

The Mac and the PC laptop are peers behind the Linksys NAT/firewall box. However, if I could get through to the Mac (which is not working for apparently unrelated reasons), then I could use the Web interface to he Linksys and probably do something to boot the laptop off the Internet.

I'm curious if anybody's tried installing the cygwin sshd on a WinXP box and whether shell commands are enough to kill processes or not. Running my cygwin shell locally and typing 'ps aux', all I see are bash and ps running.
