Hi,
I've installed cygwin on W2K. My account is not local, so I've added it with `mkpasswd -u <username> -d <domain> >> /etc/passwd` This seems to work well : it adds the line with a user id of 109369 (=0x1AB39) The first time I launched a bash, "I have no name!" (not exactly what I expected) So... What does the id command print ?? -> an uid of 43833 (Now you understand why I wrote the previous id in hexa) The hex value of 43833 is 0xAB39... I've corrected my /etc/passwd replace the uid by its [short] version -> works well, but... It doesn't seem to be a normal behavior !? Is this already known ? Has someone an explanation ? Is it just a storage prb of the user id or is it mkpasswd that does not properly deal with the sid ? Did I simply make a mistake ??
