FW: ssh -- you don't exist, go away!

Curt,
 That message shows when the user you are currently logged in AS is not
defined in the passwd file.  Check the passwd file and add a line for your
current user.

Hi,
I downloaded cygwin as vanilla as possible afaik to my win nt 4.0 box.

from setup log:
Installing latest/openssh/openssh-2.5.2p2-3.tar.gz

when I try to use ssh to get to a host on which I have an account (and 
which I access regularly using Secure CRT), I get the message
"you don't exist, go away!"

Same result whether typed in bash shell or executed in windows bat file at 
'dos' prompt.

I can execute the command on a win 2000 machine where some version of 
cygwin was installed some time ago, and it works fine.

I hunted around previous postings but didn't find anything quite like this.

Could somebody tell me what to look at.

Thanks,

-- Curt Springer
