As aforementioned you are able to use cygwin account names different from the NT account names. ... The syntax is easy: Just add an entry of the form U-ntdomain\ntusername to the pw_gecos field. the_king::1:1:Elvis Presley,U-STILLHERE\elvis,S-1-5-21-1234-5678-9012-1000:/bin /sh It is the qpopper inetd build. I wasn't able to get the standalone build to work. Another problem is I want Qpopper to look in spool files in directories below /var/mail, but I haven't succeeded in getting to do that either. The main problem is now all my students have the same password. I don't want to give Win2K accounts to them, because the nextwork they are on is in the same room as the server. Disabled accounts would be OK, however this is the only way I found to connect without Win2K accounts that are active. They don't know the name of the Win2K account, but they could still login into a cygwin shell with their ID. Does anyone have any better ideas for virtual domains using exim and qpopper? The Outlook Express MUAs they are using don't appear to do APOP. Perhaps I should make them use mutt ;-) Just joking. -- Greg Matheson Gertrude Stein (on deathbed): What is the Dr Bean's Penpal Pool answer? What is the answer?
