Don't know why yet, but it does not work very well.

1) Instead of just logging me in, it now asks for my password.
2) When I typed the passwd it hung...
2a) could have happened because the X11 server wouldn't start/died on
startup.

It's log showed:

---------------------------------

When I tried logging in as root instead of as me, the console window 
immediately disappeared
(have seen that before when I was trying to get rlogin to work in the 
first place,
so likely unrelated.

However, it is ignoring my ~/.rhosts file (into which I put nearly every 
combination I could
think of to get this to work...

Prior to this, when I logged on using local credentials, I would have a 
blank hostname.  I.e. --
using 'X11'  as an example, when I log in locally, I see no hostname in 
my shell-prompt.
But when I log in to another system, then my path is prefixed with the 
hostname.

So... why did I need the local hostname with a "+"??

---------------
I have a feeling the X-server died because installing the test cygwin wiped
out my share partition (on a local mount, but one that cygwin turns into 
a symlink and
overwrites)...

----------------
However even after restoring my /usr/share, it still asks me for a 
password, which
indicates something broke...  ;-(
