Copy the way ssh-host-config does it: net user sshd /add /fullname:"sshd privsep" "/homedir:${dos_var_empty}" /active:no > /dev/null mkpasswd -l -u sshd | sed -e 's/bash$/false/' >> ${SYSCONFDIR}/passwd where dos_var_empty is /var/empty for sshd, but you can put something else. -- René Berber -- 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/
