Hi all,
since quite a while I am fighting with the problem that Cygwin does not
create a separte login-session when you use the public-key authentication.
Unfortunatly I did not find any good solution to workaround this problem.
General speaking I have not a problem with the behaviour itself, but when
I use the public-key authentication the Windows Utility "diskpart.exe" does
not start. It only works when I use password-authentication instead.
But as diskpart is included in some scripts, it is mandandory for me to use the
public-key authentication.
I have already search in the archived mails and found some older entries from
the last years discussing this item. In one of the list I have found the following
statement: "It is a limitation of Windows and won't be remedied in the Cygwin 1.5.x series".
Based on this situation I have the following question:
1) Does anybody know a good workaround/solution to make diskpart.exe AND
public-key authentication working?
2) Does anybody know how to make it happen that a new user-session will be
created using the public-key authentication?
3) When will the next major release of Cygwin (Cygwin 1.7 or so...) be released?
4) Does anybody know if the public-key authentication / own session-feature
will be solved in Cygwin 1.7?
Many thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
Best Regards
Benni

Hopefully in 2008.

Yes. By using Cygwin's own LSA authentication package.

None of the above is approproriate for this mailing list. Please use the main list.
