Why is this even a discussion? You *ALWAYS* refuse a login to an account that is disabled, locked out, or has an expired password or failed any of the other criteria that might be in effect (day/time restrictions, source IP restrictions, etc.) Is someone suggesting that the Windows authentication API is actually returning a success code despite any of these conditions? Furthermore you also *NEVER* hint to the user why the login was denied. It's rule #1 of security engineering. Denied is denied. Explanations or hints are verboten. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
