although no expert on this, I experienced this when logged onto a
domain.  when adding a local account with the same login name, it
somehow works.  use "mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd" to 'activate' the new
account.

not sure why, but it certainly saved me from the 'login ' every
time :-)

sshd login bash.exe fails to initialize

2002-03-31 Thread Thor Anders Aarhaug

hi,

been running sshd for a while w/o any problems.  after I installed the
latest current version (as of today), the sshd fails to initialize bash.exe,
returning a memory error.  the login is ok, and the passwd verified
prior to this.

I also observe (again) that PS1 promt are garbled in rxvt,
ie. plaintext.

any suggestions on which packages to reinstall/replace with older
versions? debugging suggestions are also appreciated. I tried both
prev. versions of bash and the openssl libs.

I am running W2kPro SP2 with _all_ packages cygwin installed.

Thor A.

I'm not sure what you're getting at but rxvt.exe is not my problem; I
just mention this as a curiousity since _when_ sshd was working, so
was rxvt.  as for my bash and xterms under xfree 4.2.0, they both work
fine with the default PS1 setting.  I have the exact same config at
work where everything is running smoothly.

and yes, I am running bash by default, but sshd fails to initialize
tcsh in the same manner.

as you probably have guessed: I am not an advanced user of Cygwin,
though I enjoy it very much as a novice user.  if I posted a 'RTFM'
sort of thing, all I can say is that I did try to find information
concerning this on google groups search.
