I don't think it can be done. I believe that 4nt.exe will be very confused by Cygwin's handling of ptys -- which are really just Windows pipes. >Followon - after manually editing passwd again using EMACS, putting /bin/sh >back again, it still doesn't work until I run mkpasswd again.

Just as a wild guess, and given the fact that this seems to be the answer to every other problem reported on this mailing list -- EMACS is probably adding a ^M (or \r) before the end of the lines in /etc/passwd. mkpasswd is probably not doing this. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
