Re: re: windows authentication for cygwin sshd

["Calvin Smith" <exnihilo4 at myrealbox dot com>]

Thanks for the information. When I tried to run mkpasswd, I got the following error message:

mkpasswd: [1326] Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

I looked in the man page and didn't see anything about using a username and password.

Is this error message familiar to anyone? Do I have to login as a domain administrator (which I am not) to run this command successfully? I was trying to run it as a local administrator.

thanks

Calvin,

You can update the /etc/passwd file and /etc/group file with the domain users and groups with the following command:

cd /etc
/usr/bin/mkpasswd -l -g -d > passwd
/usr/bin/mkgroup -l -d > group

net stop sshd && net start sshd

Use 'man mkpasswd' & 'man mkgroup' for help.

--Matt
