Hi,
I've used cygwin before, but for the first time I did mkpasswd and mkgroup
and got it so that when go to a cygwin prompt, my id actually shows as my
windows username and I end up in /home/myusername. Woohoo.
wait, if I try to vi /etc/sshd_config now I cannot write it, because it is
owned by SYSTEM and has restrictive rights.
How do I edit system files now? I don't really grok the permission world in
cygwin and how unixy permissions and users map to windows.
Another thing worth mentioning, I am running windows xp sp2 and it is part
of a domain. I am a domain user. I am also a member of Administrators on the
computer.
Help?
