Hallo, (i hope this is the correct forum to this question)
I have a XP home edition running using cygwin and the inetd package. I have created /etc/passwd and /etc/group as described. The only user (and there is only one at an XP home edition with usable privileges) is called otto. I can rlogin to this client using the account otto and his password. Everything okay. What I do not understand is: where do the strange uid and gid (e.g. mkpasswd) of the most files come from? Rlogin seems not to use passwd and gid and I can not force it to login with /bin/bash (which is defined in /etc/passwd). It always comes up with /bin/sh (which does not understand any aliases and others). A drastic workaround at the moment is to symlink bash to sh.
