  3. Open Cygwin terminal and get apt-cyg: wget rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg
  4. Install apt-cyg: install apt-cyg /bin (apt-cyg repo: https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg)
  5. Install openssh: apt-cyg install openssh
  6. Get the latest Fermilab krb5.conf (http://computing.fnal.gov/authentication/krb5conf/Linux/krb5.conf) and put it in /etc
  7. Create a directory called .ssh in your home area and put the ssh config file (http://home.fnal.gov/~jamieson/temp/config) there. Here is more information to make sure your ssh config file is set up correctly: http://www.uscms.org/uscms_at_work/physics/computing/getstarted/uaf.shtml#prerequisiteSSHConfig
  8. Change the protections on the ssh config file: chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
  9. Connect to the LPC through an X terminal: 
    kinit username@FNAL.GOV
