login problems and RSA authentication
hi i am running win2k and cygwin but am haveing problems getting password authentication to work. it just doenst want to take the passwords for anyuser though i know i have them right. i know this info is a bit vague, but i dont really know what else to say since i have a basically basically out of the box setup as far as my users and passwords are concerned with bot win2k and cygwin. a relavant entry in my /etc/passwd file for user patrick looks like this: --snip-- patrick:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:patrick,U-LUCY\patrick,S-1-5-21-329068152-813497703-1417001333-1000:/home/patrick:/bin/bash --snip-- what i would really like actually would be to be able to have access to the box through ssh by different users useing RSA authentication. i have read though that this doesnt work (however the post was almost a year n half old). does any one know if this is possible now or if there are any hacks with the same effect.

sshd makeing noisy shells
i have gotten sshd running as a service on a win2k box, with RSA authentication. however i have run into two problems. 1) i had to let sshd log itself in on the win2k using my normal user acount to that the RSA authentication would work. why is this? is there a more elegent work around? (like can i make a special acount for sshd and give that acount what ever rights/properties it needs so that sshd can work properly with RSA authentication) 2) when i log in from a linux (debian) box all is well and i get access but then the strangness begins. what ever command i type the consol beeps, though it does complete the command. and if i type ls for example i get ;/ the whole time (along with a beep) instead of the .. and . directories. so if i do "ls" in a directory with just the file test.txt in it i recieve -snip- fragle@rock$ ls text.txt ;/ snip- whats really odd is that everything works fine if i use the ssh client on the win2k box and ssh in localy. valeo genti, lucas _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- 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/
