Now I want to logon to cygwin with a different user name.....( other than administrator)......how do i go about it? Below is the problem in detail: I am logged onto my machine on itlinfosys domain........with user name nipun_java........okay......so what i want to do is just logon with userid nipun So what i did is add myself as a user without domain ......keeping name as nipun.....and giving a password....using windows user manager. This even got reflected when I did mkpasswd......this is the output Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0:: SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18:: Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: Administrator::500:513:,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/sh Guest::501:513:,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-501:/home/Guest:/bin/sh nipun::1002:513:Nipun Java,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-1002:/home/nipun:/bin/sh VUSR_MYSSD118876::1000:513:VSA Server Account,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-1000:/home/VUSR_MYSSD118876:/bin/sh VUSR_MYSSD1188761::1001:513:VSA Server Account,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-1001:/home/VUSR_MYSSD1188761:/bin/sh as u can see nipun is there............ now problem is .......when i use login command........then its not accepting nipun and the password as a valid entry. also when I type passwd command.......it gives the output passwd : unknown user Nipun_Java( which is my login to Itlinfosys domain)................what is the reason for this.... Do I have to do a "mkpasswd -d | grep nipun_java >> /etc/passwd" first ? Any input would be appreciated? Nipun Java Infosys Technologies Ltd.
