Giving folks access to Win2k

Hi all,

As fate would have it I'm giving away my old desktop to a
friend who has 
no computer. The upside is that means I have room to setup
my old-old 
desktop, which happens to have Windows 2000 on it.

It's a dual Pentium-II 400 with 512mb of RAM. I installed
the Ruby 1.8.6 
one-click on it, and it already had VC++ 6 on it. Fairly
zippy, actually.

What I would like to do is give certain people access to the
machine. 
Preferably, just a command line login.

Unfortunately, the only things I saw online for command line
logins were 
commercial products. I thought about firing up the telnet
service, but 
it seems to require NTLM authentication. My attempts to
configure ntml 
were foiled - for some reason the OS thinks I don't have
admin 
privileges (I do).

Any suggestions? I'm willing to pay money if you think
there's a 
commercial product out there that's worth it (I saw rlogind
from MKS 
Software - any good?), but I would prefer a free solution if
possible.

You can email me offline (djberg96 at gmail dot com) if you
prefer to 
take this offline.

Thanks,

Dan

Daniel, what about OpenSSH for Windows?

http://sshwindows.
sourceforge.net/

I know its a bit old (2004) and runs under cygwin, but if
let you
access to the command line, could be helpful.

The problem there is that then the users would be in the
cygwin 
environment, not the "real" Windows environment,
which defeats the 
purpose of my real reason for wanting to give people access
to the box - 
cross-platform testing.
