I've got my ftpd working again, no more "Can't set uid" when I try to ftp from a cygwin machine.. Under no circumstances should you take my description below as advice! Buyer beware! Looks like I got caught in the unix versus windows password area.. My workaround was to - make sure I set CYGWIN system environment variable to include "ntsec" - added a local to my host PC account that I can use for ftp access. To recap - before the update ftp was working, allowing me to use my network domain login ID for both telnet and ftp to my host PC. After I updated, telnet still worked fine, but ftp would reject my login saying "Can't set uid" I'm up and running by using a new local account on my host for ftp access. I think the problem I have using my Background: My network login has local only admin priveledges on the host PC, but not on the network. What also happens is that if I try a mkpasswd -d I get a few of the real network admin account names followed by a permission denied (ie our network domain server won't let me sniff the domain account list?) , so I'm unable to build /etc/passwd with real values from my own windows network account. I think this is the crux of my issue.. Since I have admin priveleges on my host pc, it was simple to add a new local account for ftp.. Anyhow, I'm up and running ftpd again. Feel free to correct me on the details above..
