I have a particular user who already has a windows account, but now i'd like to be able to allow that user (username: billy) to ssh into the domain controller (to be able to use cygwin). What I did so far is `mkpasswd -d | grep billy >> /etc/passwd`. Then billy tries to do `ssh host_name -l billy`, but billy gets permission denied. So then i thought that billy might need a new password, so i ran `passwd billy`, and gave him a new password. Still no luck. This is why I was asking about documentation about creating a new user. Windows documentation is not enough; this is cygwin related. Do you have any idea about what I should try to let this user log in ?

I'm not sure if you made a mistake or not, in typing the '-u' flag, because my mkpasswd doesn't support that option. 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 ? -- 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/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
