Thanks Andy! I did have to manually start the cygwin SSHD service and I did not get any credentials error when I started up. It logged me in as watcher(so its configured to that I guess when vm starts up). When I checked for root account couldnt find one in /home directory. Also the /etc/passwd files are different when compared between vmhost win2003 machine and the new vmguest?(vcl01,which starts up when I make a reservation). Below are the list of accounts: Administrator watcher kaharris maestro sshd cyg_server Guest mjohnston SUPPORT_388945a0
hope this info helps.. ! Thanks! kiran On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 9:56 AM, Andy Kurth <andy_ku...@ncsu.edu> wrote: > It would be helpful if you could provide some more information.
