Hi- The AI really did go nuts like you said. I just read the man page for that and mkpassword -l isnt cutting it with setting up on win side first.
I dont know why it told me that. Crazy-town. I will think of a command for a second.. I know what i will do i will create the user in windows and then wipe out the context of the /etc/passwd and then issue mkpasswd with the appropriate switch(es). thanks Sent with Proton Mail secure email. ------- Forwarded Message ------- From: Jim McNamara via Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com> Date: On Sunday, July 28th, 2024 at 8:06 PM Subject: Re: rpcd.exe To: cygwin@cygwin.com <cygwin@cygwin.com> > Hi - > > I dont want to give away your email by replying because I am > afraid it won't obfuscate when I reply back. > > Thanks for the reply from you and the group! > > I'm trying to issue this command > > mkpasswd -l rsyncuser >> /etc/passwd > > > i thought it would append a line to the end of my /etc/passwd file > that would indicate that i now have a rsync user. > > it malfunctions and doesnt append anything. > > I might want to mention when i go to install from the installer at the > end of the installer wizard i get this m\sg. > > Package: _/Unknown package > xinit.sh exit code 3 > > I dont know why mkpasswd is not working in this syntax. > I am about to add it (passwd file entry) in manually.
