cant even login

[HRebs@heyde.de]

I had the same problem.
The solution for this you can find in inetutils-1.3.2.README.
To use 'login' you need some special user rights under NT/W2K:

  "Act as part of the operating system"
  "Replace process level token"
  "Increase quotas"

Even as Administrator you don't have all of these rights by default.
Set these rights for your users/groups and login works!

Greetings,
Holger

i know you dont have to login into cygwin (when you launch from the shortcut
in the desktop), but you can type login from that prompt, and then it'll
prompt you for login/passwd.... i just want to get this working before i
start doing ssh, cuz im assuming if i cant login from there, then theres no
way i can login from ssh

Login? Are you starting a cygwin bash shell from the shortcut 
that the setup sticks on your desktop? When you start that 
bash shell from the desktop, AFAIK you ARE logged into "the cygwin".

Please give us more detail about what you are trying to do- I have 
never had to "login into the cygwin" and I love using cygwin, 
it works wonderfully.
