Although I think that other then the amount of time required to fetch a given user password entry, there's no difference between `mkpasswd -u username` and `mkpasswd -d | grep username`. (With exception of the comma). | > We are doing pretty much the same things (in creating a user), but | > I get permission denied after entering the password (during an ssh | > attempt). You don't have this problem ? Can you think of anything | > that might be responsible for this ? | | /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-***.README solved all of my problems when I | actually read and followed the direction given therein. | I think that sshd is setup correctly - I am able to ssh into the windows machine (running cygwin/sshd) with another account. The problem is that billy can't log in using password authentication. PasswordAuthentication is set to 'yes'. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
