Hi, I am a "local administrator" on an otherwise locked down corporate laptop that is running XP and currently, cygwin 1.7, the beta.
I was running the released version of cygwin and having problems installing sshd and passwd. I found a thread from back in March regarding passwd working in domain controlled networks in Cygwin 1.7. So I uninstalled, downloaded, and reinstalled, and with a bit of trepidation found that my rxvt shells and everything else still seemed to be working. Very nice. So I installed sshd and that install seemed to go just fine and I got the daemon running, and now I want to change the local passwd. So I tried $ passwd and went through the conversation of old, new, and new, to get: "You may not change the password for ..." Is there a way to change the password on the local machine? Or will cygwin in the corporate domain environment always rely on the current domain password? I couldn't figure out if this was a bug, or a feature needing a bit more documentation in passwd --help Thank you, Jerry -- 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/
