I need some assistance in changing a few commands

[php111]

Hi,

I am a person that has a trouble understanding a little bit. I found a real basic tutorial on OpenSSH and so far I done really great because I made it far. There are a few things I possibly need assistance with. I know there are a few I need help with but I am not sure about the rest. Here are the links below.

Tutorial: http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html

7a) Make sure every Windows user has done the following at least once:

Login in as the Windows user, pop a console command screen by clicking Start...Run....cmd

Thanks to Magno Corrêa of Brazil for the tip in (7a)

(8) important Pop a cygwin gwindow, harmonize Windows user information with cygwin, otherwise they cannot login

mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd

mkgroup --local > /etc/group

If your XP logs on to a domain, you most likely have to manually edit /etc/group. See this page.

If your XP logs on to a domain, you may want to edit /etc/passwd to replace /home/username by //unc_server/path_to_home

(thanks to Geoff Thomas)

mkpasswd creates a password file from Windows' user list, click here for more details.

mkgroup creates a group file from Windows' user list, click here for more details.

Thanks to John Skiggn of Cingular Wireless in Redmond, Washington for his tweak on domain user /etc/group

All of the above I am having trouble with. I don't want edit the wrong line. Yes I did download the very powerful notepad++ is what the tutorial recommend to edit the lines (if needed). Regular notepad and wordpad will not work.

Sorry php111 but I'm not very familiar with setting up OpenSSH in a Windows environment. In Windows, I use a free utility called Putty which is very easy to install and use.

You can download putty.exe from here:

May I ask what you want to use SSH for?

If Putty doesn't meet your needs, please post.
