RE: cant even login

[Peter Buckley <peter dot buckley at cportcorp dot com>]

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.
