If the daemons are only useful in NT/W2K, then do they
really belong in the Cygwin distribution proper? 
Those of us on 9X are going to get files that are
useless to us when we do a net install, and AFAIK
there is currently nothing in the Cygwin distribution
that isn't useful to us.

By the way, is it actually so difficult to fall back
on /etc/passwd authentication if you're on 9X?  The
cygutils version works perfectly for this.

Thanks!
- Ken.

Sorry, but the daemons are only useful with NT/W2K.
They are
using the NT password authentication for login
purposes.
