Sammartino" , Cygwin List Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.23.1i X-Mailer: Mutt http://www.mutt.org/ X-URL: http://members.shaw.ca/ryants Yes, I have read everything in /usr/doc/Cygwin, and searched this mailing list, and read all of Corinna's well-written posts, and yet login and ssh refuse to log me in. My /etc/passwd looks very similar to the examples in /usr/doc/Cygwin/login.README and /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.0.1p1-2.README. My CYGWIN is set to 'ntsec'. I'm using all the latest packages as of the writing of this e-mail. I've been at this for about a day now. Here are all the details. As you can see, sshd is running, and it does accept connections: PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 1392 1 1392 1392 ? 18 15:07:57 /usr/sbin/sshd Here is my entry in /etc/passwds, somewhat censored: ryans:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:18:10513:Ryan T. Sammartino,U-*******\ryans,S-1-5-21-*******:/home/ryans:/bin/bash Now, my UID is 18 so that I could get cron working (cf: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01859.html), although I have tried all sorts of numbers in there, including the default one that mkpasswd generated. The relevent bits from my cygcheck -s are: CYGWIN = `ntsec' Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.3.6 DLL epoch: 19 DLL bad signal mask: 19005 DLL malloc env: 28 API major: 0 API minor: 47 Shared data: 3 DLL identifier: cygwin1 Mount registry: 2 Cygnus registry name: Cygnus Solutions Cygwin registry name: Cygwin Program options name: Program Options Cygwin mount registry name: mounts v2 Cygdrive flags: cygdrive flags Cygdrive prefix: cygdrive prefix Cygdrive default prefix: Build date: Fri Dec 7 00:15:11 EST 2001 CVS tag: cygwin-1-3-6-5 Shared id: cygwin1S3 login 1.4-2 openssh 3.0.1p1-2 Now, I am an "Administrator" on this machine... is that "good enough"? (I'm totally clueless about Win NT/2K 'security'...) Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Ryan T.
