Indeed, this is the problem I noticed with my Win98.
The installer export in the cygwin system an user with no password.

There is no "passwd" command in my rustic-shell, since now

I noticed that only with win98. With WinXP and Win ME (report from another
user) the password fetching is ok.
I also found a bug relative to scp: this command requires ssh1, in order
to be used. But there is no ssh1 in rustic-shell.
I'm adding it now.
Another improvement I wish to add is that (let me know your opinion).
This feature is important in order to use RS with my friend in Sardinia.
After he actived sshd on its win/Me machine, it has to communicate me
its current ip address.
In order to solve this problem, this is my plan:
1) the sshd.bat (called by windows) should call the "ipconfig" Windows command
ipconfig > etc/ip
2) after that, the sshd.sh (called by linux) fetch the ip from /etc/ip, and
send it via email to a list of users, stored in the file c:\rs\notify.ip.
In this way, when my friend activate sshd, I will receive an email with
its current ip. So, I can connect to him.
Alternative: the sshd.sh a sort of ip.html page, via curl, to
my home server.
