Hello,
login always fails with my cygwin installation on Win2000.
I have checked the mailing lists and found the following letter by Corinna

Even when these are set for my group (there is still a possibility that I
did not get the Russian translation right) login fails. And I need login to
run inetd.
My typical BASH session looks like
bash-2.05b$ export CYGWIN=ntsec
bash-2.05b$ login root
Password:
Login incorrect
login:
bash-2.05b$ mkpasswd -lu root
root:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1002:513:
Основатель,U-LAB22-3\root,
S-1-5-21-789336058-920026266-1708537768-
1002:/home/root:/bin/bash
Is there a reason not to just run inetd as a service as the documentation
suggests?
The above permissions need to be added to the account from which 'login'
will run, not the target account to be logged into. You'll need to add
the specified permissions to the account you will issue 'login' from.
I'm guessing from the information you provided above that this account
is not 'root'.
