Do you set the CYGWIN environment variable to contain
the word `ntsec'? You have to switch on the ntsec option
to get the U- and S- options in /etc/passwd to work.

You have to set that in the NT environment as I pointed out
in the today's thread
	"IMPORTANT: Installing inetd or sth else as service"
in the cygwin mailing list.

No! You may use your name which is given in the pw_name
field in your passwd file, as described in the login README.

Imagin the example of a NT user "JohnDoe" in domain "BIGBROTHER".
You want to use the name "john" under Cygwin. The passwd file
looks like:

	john::123:111:John Doe,U-BIGBROTHER\JohnDoe,S-1-5-....

and you have to login with the name 

	john

and the NT password of the user

	JohnDoe

Ok?

Please, read the README files for inetutils and login.
They are part of the binary tar files and will be unpacked
in the / directory (not _that_ skillful solution, I know).

Hope, that helps,
Corinna
