RE: NTsec permissions issue over inet


HI Bruce,

	The reason I don't have smbntsec set is because the remote
volumes are not Samba Shares. The interesting thing here is that when I
ran an older version of Cygwin, this functionality would work just fine.
I also tried the passwd trick (which didn't work as well.) I can't
imagine what the problem could be ? At this time I am running out of
ideas. My only hope at this time would be to enable some sort of a debug
trace to see what component is actually failing during the login.
Another interesting point to mention is that when I run the 'login'
command within the shell, I cannot log in under my user name defined in
the /etc/passwd file. Any ideas why this would ? This could somehow be
related to my problem.

Any help would be welcomed!!

Steve

OK,  further testing,  I can't get the below rlogin "trick" to work on a
1.3.22 machine,  the one it worked on is actually a 1.3.12 machine.  so,
with 1.3.12 I can get it to work by forcing a password entry,  but this
appears not to work with a 1.3.22 machine........
continuing more confused than ever...
