Query

["Nipun_Java" <Nipun_Java at infosys dot com>]

Hi Corinna,
Hope you can resolve my query.....I have just installed cygwin on WindowsNT and am a novice of sorts ......though i know a bit about unix environment.......and stuff.

Now I want to logon to cygwin with a different user name.....( other than administrator)......how do i go about it?

Below is the problem in detail:

		I am logged onto my machine on itlinfosys domain........with user name nipun_java........okay......so what i want to do is just logon with userid nipun

		So what i did is add myself as a user without domain ......keeping name as nipun.....and giving a password....using windows user manager.

		This even got reflected when I did mkpasswd......this is the output

		Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
		SYSTEM:*:18:18:,S-1-5-18::
		Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
		Administrator::500:513:,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/sh
		Guest::501:513:,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-501:/home/Guest:/bin/sh
		nipun::1002:513:Nipun Java,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-1002:/home/nipun:/bin/sh
		VUSR_MYSSD118876::1000:513:VSA Server Account,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-1000:/home/VUSR_MYSSD118876:/bin/sh
		VUSR_MYSSD1188761::1001:513:VSA Server Account,S-1-5-21-1050150694-939153763-1551924553-1001:/home/VUSR_MYSSD1188761:/bin/sh

		as u can see nipun is there............

		now problem is .......when i use login command........then its not accepting nipun and the password as a valid entry.

		also when I type passwd command.......it gives the output 

		passwd : unknown user Nipun_Java( which is my login to Itlinfosys domain)................what is the reason for this....

		Do I have to do a "mkpasswd -d | grep nipun_java  >> /etc/passwd" first ?

		Any input would be appreciated?
