Not sure what you mean by "m/c" but if you mean is it possible to log 
into a machine that has Cygwin from a machine that doesn't have Cygwin 
then the answer is yes - provided that the Cygwin machine has setup a 
service such as telnet/rlogin/ssh and that it's /etc/passwd is properly 
constructed so that you have an account there.

As for docs see /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README on the Cygwin 
machine.
