RE: sshd, ftpd telnetd starts, but says incorrect passwd


I was getting an error: 550 Can't set gid. I had created the mkpasswd  using
the -d option and mkgroup wihout the -d option. Hence the user I was trying
to logon had a gid which did not exist in the /etc/group.

Thanks for all ur help.

Are you running the inetd daemon to start ftpd and telnetd? If you
aren't make sure you look at /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README. I
run ftpd and telnetd all the time via inetd.

Ensure your /etc/passwd and /etc/group are up to date.
