- Subject: authentication in cygwin
Hello, I am used to a UNIX environment, I want to setup an ftp server on
my windows 2000 ws. However, I get 'login incorrect' when I attempt to
log in to the ftp server. There seems to be no encrypted passwords in /etc/passwd,
exactly how do cygwin/ftpd do authentication? I added the test user in the windows
user area as well, and did a mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd. I also tried to changed
the password using passwd but /etc/passwd is not affected at all.
PS, the install program is terrible, whatever I do it seems to install everything from
scratch whenever I just want to add a new package. Cygwin is interesting but seems
very heavy to get to work proberly.
