Re: re: windows authentication for cygwin sshd

[Larry Hall <cygwin-lh at cygwin dot com>]

If the user you're trying to access the domain with is not a valid domain
user, then you will have problems like this.  You don't need to be the 
domain administrator to run 'mkpasswd' with '-d' but you will need to 
run it as a user that's a member of the domain.
