Subject: password authenticiation problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I have installed cygwin on my WindowsXP laptop. When I try to ssh to 
username AT 127 DOT 0 DOT 0 DOT 1 it won't accept my password. I have changed my 
password and used the passwd command a few times to try to fix the problem.

One curious thing: the prompt says "USERNAME AT LAPTOP". My computer name 
is LAPTOP but the USERNAME it gives is not the same as the windows 
account username that I have set. I think it is an old one that used to 
use. I tried ssh using that username, but it wouldn't work either.

I set up a new account with a new username and password and tried it all 
over again. That woudn't accept the password either.

This must be a common problem but I was not able to find it in the 
archives. I would appreciate any help.


Thanks,
Beverly
