Hello,
My Windows XP login name is in Japanese: ライアン
As this is not a legal UNIX username AFAIK, I have
the following in /etc/profile:
export USER="ryan"
export HOME="/home/ryan"
I also changed the relevant line in /etc/passwd
from this:
ライアン:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513
:U-ICHIGO\ライアン,S-1-5-21-3595182962-3425862410-625958100-1004
:/home/ライアン:/bin/bash
to this:
ryan:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513
:U-ICHIGO\ライアン,S-1-5-21-3595182962-3425862410-625958100-1004
:/home/ryan:/bin/bash
Note that I changed the username and home, but left the
U-ICHIGO\ライアン part before the SID untouched.
My CYGWIN environment variable is set to "tty ntsec".
This seems to be working OK, except that password-based
authentication is not working when I connect to my Cygwin sshd.
Publickey authentication DOES work, however.
I was wondering if perhaps the Japanese string in the
additional pw_gecos field is the cause of the problem
with password authentication.
Thanks for your help,
Ryan
