Not sure what you mean by "m/c" but if you mean is it possible to log into a machine that has Cygwin from a machine that doesn't have Cygwin then the answer is yes - provided that the Cygwin machine has setup a service such as telnet/rlogin/ssh and that it's /etc/passwd is properly constructed so that you have an account there. As for docs see /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README on the Cygwin machine. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
