Maybe _I_ misunderstood the original poster's point. But, yesterday, I was setting up SSHD on a server. In my /etc/passwd file, I wanted to use "admin" instead of "administrator" since "admin" is less typing. But I didn't/couldn't change the Administrator Windows 2000 account name. So, I was following instructions in login.README and the openssh readme file and used: admin::500:544:System Administrator,U-Administrator,S-1-5-21-...-500:/home/admin:/bin/bash Then, when I SSH in, I get "password incorrect" or whatever the actual error message is. When, in the /etc/passwd file, I change "^admin" to "^administrator", I can log in. I was referring to the "if you don't like your NT login name" part of the readme text I quoted. Hope that makes more sense. Kick me if I'm still overlooking the obvious. -ME ----- Original Message ----- From: "Corinna Vinschen" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 8:44 AM Subject: Re: ntsec > On Wed, Feb 28, 2001 at 07:49:42AM -0500, Michael Erdely wrote: > > But, Corinna, from /usr/doc/Cygwin/login.README: > > Now you may use `domuser' as your login name with telnet!!! > > What do you want to say?
