How did you build the /etc/auth file? This authenticator expects a
file in the format

userid: cryptedpassword

Does your file have crypted passwords? If they're plain text
passwords, sustitute 'eq' for 'crypteq' in your server_condition.

I guess also it's possible that crypt has problems under cygwin, dunno.
