Hi,

Rcp is ok now. For change password, Win 2000 works, but i would like the user telnet 
to Cygwin and use "passwd" command ( just like those in UNIX).
This works for administrator. But for other user:

$ login: testuser
$ password: aa123aa
$
$ passwd
$ Enter new password ( minimum 5 characters, maximum 8 characters)
  Old password: aa123aa (<-- I type old password here)
$ Bad password : too short

I am sure that the old password is correct as i used it for login Cygwin.
Does Cygwin support for change password with "passwd" command ?

Thanks again!
Isabella

The above description says it all: ".rhosts writeable by other than owner".

chmod 600 ~/.rhosts

Change the password using the NT user manager.  That works always.
