Hi,
My name is Janos and I am trying to use cygwin and Xfree under win2k, it is working fine, but I have a question!
How can I use xdm and chooser, because it is allways said Only root wants to run xdm?
So, I am an Administrator on my machine (uid=500) and there is no root on it, because it is a win2k.
The /etc/passwd file is:
Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-3NJ1G00454FTP6C\Administrator,S-1-5-21-372014698-1648304418-1196229020-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash
Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-3NJ1G00454FTP6C\Guest,S-1-5-21-372014698-1648304418-1196229020-501:/home/Guest:/bin/bash
My cygwin is 1.3.5-cygwin-1-3-5-2, Cygwin\Xfree86 is 4.1.0.
Would you give me some good hints how can I configure and customise my Xfree for the best solution.
Brgs, Janos
