Hi,

I saw the past few months' posts but couldn't get a solution. When I do a 
telnet/ftp/login to my w2k box, I get the login prompt, but whatever 
login/password I enter, it says "Login incorrect". I tried everything I 
could: I read login.README, inetd.README. I set CYGWIN env variable to 
"ntsec binmode tty"; I even set the registry variable. My inetd is installed 
as LocalSystem; I tried running /usr/sbin/inetd -d from the command line. I 
did a "mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd" and my account is local (not an outside 
domain). Is there something that I'm missing here? How do I debug this?

thanks!
kommu
