I (still) can't use telnet for my NT box. The test I'm stuck on is when I try to run telnetd (i.e. without using inetd).
In one window I run: $ /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -debug and in another I run: $ telnet $(uname -n) I get the following: Trying 139.21.89.82... Connected to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Escape character is '^]'. Password: that is, I'm prompted for a password without first having entered my login-id. Naturally, no password works. Once I try something, I do indeed get a prompt for a login-id: Login incorrect login: Now, I'm trying to remember how it works on unix: init starts getty which, if I remember correctly, paints the first login prompt and gets the login-id. At that point, login(1) is called. Right? What is the equivalent under Cygwin? BTW, I created /etc/passwd w/ mkpasswd -d $USERDOMAIN -u $USERNAME and: $ lf /bin/cygwin* /bin/cygwin1.dll* I used (a while ago) iu-config to create the files in /etc. and: $ whence login /cygdrive/d/cygwin/bin/login $ echo $CYGWIN ntsec Any help will be appreciated... -- ---------------- Thomas Mellman [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________________ WEB.DE Club - jetzt testen fur 1 Euro!
