Yes, that was the original idea. But it had two drawbacks, it had to be installed into the WINDOWS/system32 path plus adding a registry key and ob-reboot, and it only worked well on 2K but not on NT4, AFAIR (No XP on the horizon back then). I'm in the progress of beginning to think of starting to plan to create a real authentication package for Cygwin... for about three or four years now. The frustrating lack of example code from Microsoft and the Net holds me back :-( Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
