Re: login from other m/c?

Hi All,

Is it possible to login to cygwin from other m/c in which cygwin is not installed? If so, I would appreciate the procedure to do the same. Is there any docs available?
Not sure what you mean by "m/c" but if you mean is it possible to log into a machine that has Cygwin from a machine that doesn't have Cygwin then the answer is yes - provided that the Cygwin machine has setup a service such as telnet/rlogin/ssh and that it's /etc/passwd is properly constructed so that you have an account there.

As for docs see /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README on the Cygwin machine.
