I've been noticing lately ( post 1.3.2 I beleive) that the result of mkpasswd -d doesn't allow me to perform non-interactive rsh or rcp's.
example: dobrin@GABLE3:/etc> rsh gable3 ls gable3: Permission denied. But if I use my previous passwd file (I generate these proceduraly nightly on a 1.3.2 machine, then dist to all of my other machines) everything works fine: dobrin@GABLE3:/etc> rsh gable3 ls -al total 38333 drwxrwxrwx 10 Administ Domain A 12288 Jan 9 17:11 . drwxrwxrwx 834 Administ Domain A 172032 Dec 11 17:52 .. -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ Domain A 284 Jun 8 2001 .ICEauthority -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ Domain A 5834 Jan 30 17:39 .bash_history -rwxrwxrwx 10 Administ Domain A 6913 May 4 2001 .cshrc -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ Domain A 747 Jan 30 17:58 .history (....etc) The relevant passwd entries are: dobrin@GABLE3:/etc> grep dobrin passwd.1.3.2 dobrin::11014:10512:Brucester,S-1-5-21-501104421-1911818820-14498641-1011:/h ome/dobrin:/bin/bash dobrin@GABLE3:/etc> grep dobrin passwd.1.3.9 dobrin:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11014:10512:Brucester,U-PRODUCTION\dobrin,S-1-5- 21-501104421-1911818820-14498641-1011:/home/dobrin:/bin/bash CYGWIN variable : binmode tty ntsec I haven't found anything on the list about changes, but I've also been having problems lately getting complete listings when I do a google search (for instance I just did a google search of "dobrin site:cygwin.com" and it didn't bring up any of my recent list additions.... I hope I haven't asked so many stupid questions that I'm being filtered :) ) Thanks for any help Bruce Dobrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
