It should be noted that this does not work if running on W98, it must be on XP or NT (someone please correct me if I'm wrong here).

Yes, that's exactly what happens when you telnet or ssh,
providing a password.
Cygwin provides a function:
cygwin_logon_user (user_pwd_entry, cleartext_password);
See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SETUID
As indicated before, the user needs to be in passwd.

AFAIK, you can almost do what you want. It should all work provided you keep
your /etc/passwd up-to-date as you add and remove users. NB: Passwords are
*not* stored in /etc/passwd, they are checked with Windows - i.e. what you
want.
I suggest that you look at mk{passwd,group} -d and see if you can work out
an acceptable way of regenerating this on a schedule or when users are
created/removed.
Max.

Hello,
I want to know if it is possible using the Cygwin tools
to validate a user/password against the domain
a computer is in.
I would like to setup web service on the intranet,
which can only be used by certain persons. Since
I a have no interest in creating and maintaining a
user database, it would be nice if users of the
service can be prompted for their name and
password, and that I can validate these against
the current domain.
Regards,
Jurgen
