Just for clarification: The login(1) that is called by telnetd for user authentication is ported to cygwin by Sergy Okhapkin long ago. It uses NT user database and the users NT passwords already for a long period of time. If you bought the Cygwin 1.0 CD or if you are using newer snapshots you would already have the ability to work with a strong relation between Cygwin users (in /etc/passwd) and NT users. In my ftp porters directory ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Vinschen_Corinna/B22 (will be renamed to "1.1" as soon as the net release is published) you can find another login(1). That one contains Sergeys patches and a new patch that enables NT user authentification in multi domain environments as well. Corinna -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
