address this issue: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-10/msg00370.html 6. (Vista) error in setting cyg_server passwd expiry (Recap: 'passwd -e cyg_server' doesn't work when *current* user ('herb') is a domain user, attempting to set the expiry of a local user ('cyg_server'). > passwd: unknown user herb > *** Warning: Setting password expiry for user 'cyg_server' failed! > *** Warning: Please check that password never expires or set it to your > needs. > > The command that generates the unknown user error is "passwd -e > cyg_server" from the csih script. Note that it complains about the login > user, not the cyg_server user. I'd test it myself, but I don't have a domain (server) to play with... -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
