Hi,
I'm afraid everything is set as it should... and still this "Login
incorrect"...
Here is a small session, just after starting Cygwin from the shortcut (so I
did not set anything manually before and the CYGWIN environment variable was
set in the NT environment before startup). I swear I entered my correct
password after the "Password:" promt :-)
bash-2.03$ echo $CYGWIN
ntsec binmode tty
bash-2.03$ mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd
bash-2.03$ mkgroup -d > /etc/group
bash-2.03$ cat /etc/passwd | grep OJA
OJA::1013:513:Jacquemin
Olivier,S-1-5-21-154406374-876364143-99485923-1013::/bin/sh
bash-2.03$ login
login: OJA
Password:
Login incorrect
login: Login timed out after 300 seconds
What else should I check ?
By the way, inetd was installed and started properly according to the
instructions in the inetutils-1.3.2.README file. I was able to ftp my own
PC, the ftp server started correctly, but authentication failed due to the
login problem.
Any other idea ?
Many thanks,
_Olivier_
