RE: Is it possible to use centralized passwords with cygwin inetd?

Cygwin fully supports domain users. just run `mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd` on each box. (setup may run this automaticly these days i'm not sure so check if you already have a list of domain users in your passwd file.) > -Original Message- > From: Bruce P. Osler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

RE: /tmp

I'm intrigued, where would you have it point then ? c:\temp ? c:\tmp ? (i dont have either of these on various of the computers i have installed cygwin on.) I suppose "ln -s `echo $TEMP` /tmp" would work but i quite like having my cygwin specific temp files in a cygwin specific /tmp. I wou

RE: ntsec Question

RE: Gcc 3.2 -mno-cygwin

I think you misunderstand. "It adds the "-mno-cygwin" functionality to the standard gcc package." is just the description of what the gcc-mingw package does. Its what it's always done. Its not a new feature, or am i missing something ? > -Original Message- > From: Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTE

RE: permission denied for NTFS network shares

Network access via rsh/ssh needs you to log in with a paasword, ths creates the neesacery NT security tokens. passwordless logins (.rhosts/pubkey etc) do not do this thus you cannot get network access. (actualy i think its a little more compicated but i'm too hungover to remember ;) > -Origin
