Re: [IMPORTANT]: New code in Cygwin 1.3.2 allowing to change user context without password

["Karl M" <karlm30 at hotmail dot com>]

Hi Corinna...

Yes I tried it (your new sshd out of the box) and it works great. You 
mentioned that when I use the new method of getting a token, I will not have 
my full rights, I will only have the default user rights on the server 
computer (sshd computer). So my question is, If I give Cygwin a password 
will it still use it and give me my full rights? Or will it just make a 
token each time automatically? I did not try that case here because I am not 
sure that the code (1.3.2) is representative of the final outcome anyway.

I guess I just wanted to make sure that tokens constructed with a password 
would be available in the future as well.

Thanks,

...Karl
