RE: Unable ssh login using Windows Domain account using password autheationntic


	I installed "cygwin-inst-20060222.tar.bz2" from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ into a fresh install of 1.5.19-4, rebooted, and still have the same issue.  When I use ssh (using a PASSWORD) to remotely log into this system with a local account the native whoami.exe properly shows my identity.  When I remotely log in (still using a PASSWORD) with a domain account the native whoami shows my identity as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.  This does work properly under 1.5.12-1 on the same system.  All help is greatly appreciated.

That's normal for public key authentication (as noted on this list
zillions of times) and it's a bug in case of password authentication,
which is supposed to be fixed in recent developer snapshots (download
from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/) and eventually in 1.5.20.
