Your opinion ? ntsec is useless with FAT, except if you want to use different accounts. However, I don't understand the decision to use FAT. NTFS is more reliable and faster. On big partitions you're losing disk space using FAT due to the big blocksize. > Also: I try to rlogin from cygwin to a remote Unix machine.

No, the permissions of your .rhosts file have to be 0600. > [BTW: is it possible to rlogin to cygwin from another machine ?] Sure.
