Hi,
Rcp is ok now. For change password, Win 2000 works, but i would like the user telnet to Cygwin and use "passwd" command ( just like those in UNIX).
This works for administrator. But for other user:
$ login: testuser
$ password: aa123aa
$
$ passwd
$ Enter new password ( minimum 5 characters, maximum 8 characters)
Old password: aa123aa (<-- I type old password here)
$ Bad password : too short
I am sure that the old password is correct as i used it for login Cygwin.
Does Cygwin support for change password with "passwd" command ?
Thanks again!
Isabella

THe local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: rshd: Win32 Process Id=0xAE4 : Cygwin Process Id=0x394: testadm@Server_two.domainname.com as testadm: permission denied (.rhosts writeable by other than owner). cmd='rcp -f /net/test.sh

The above description says it all: ".rhosts writeable by other than owner".
chmod 600 ~/.rhosts

Change the password using the NT user manager. That works always.
