At the moment, the more infuriating problem is the inability to login over
ssh. So I guess my question is: where does ssh check the passwd?
/etc/passwd doesn't seem to contain the information, and I was under the
impression that the windows and the cygwin passwords were not synchronized.
While I'm on it: why does passwd say 5 letters minimum, 8 letters maximum
for a password?
Thanks,
Dan
