If I understood Larry correctly – the Cygwin and Windows passwords are internally linked. Is there anyway i.e. any setting that I can use to unlink this i.e. can I have different passwords for Cygwin and Windows? If this is not possible is it possible for me to make a new user in Cygwin without a new user being created in Windows – for me creating a new user in Cygwin also creates new users in Windows. Thank you for your replies Regards, O.O. --- "Larry Hall (Cygwin)" ha scritto: > > On NT platforms and up, cygwin's sshd defers to > Windows for password > authentication.
