Re: [ssh-l]

yeah, i set the account name to 'admin' as per the
instructions on the "setting up cygwin" page. All of
my users are lower-case characters (dw, admin, admins,
etc.).

So, when i tried 'ssh -l Administrator' or even 'ssh
-l admin', I couldn't log in. Should I set the names
back to Administrator?

Also, i have a dw account both in win2k and in the
/etc/groups file... but it won't let me into that
acocunt either (it dumps me out after the MOTD).

Needless to say, the second command, 'mkpasswd -l >
/etc/passwd' didn't work, either.
