Thanks to all who answered me. BTW, the info related to accounting is not 
that easy to retrieve in the docs (for a beginner, at least)...

I need also some advice from your experience: as I said, I run WinNT4, but 
still with FAT filesystems, and I wonder if I should enable or not ntsec ? I 
mean: personnaly I don't really mind about ownership and permissions of 
files and processes, but I plan to install and compile various applications, 
and maybe some developement tools are sensitive these points. Your opinion ?

Also: I try to rlogin from cygwin to a remote Unix machine. I've added an 
entry in the .rhost file of the remote machine:
<name of the PC-cygwin> <my cygwin username>
but I'm still prompted with the password. Is it also an ntsec issue ?

[BTW: is it possible to rlogin to cygwin from another machine ?]

Thanks,

Pierre
