There is a group Guests and a user Guest - however, I'm not sure how to tell the primary (or the secondary) group of a user. I think the group entries may be wrong - they don't tally with the output of mkpasswd -g. I assume this is due to a missedit at some point in the past on my part, rather than a file format change. However, when I changed them, it seemed to upset some of my permissions. #/etc/passwd Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-CAMPC004\Administrator,S-1-5-21 -527237240-854245398-1202660629-500:/home/Administrator:/bin/bash Guest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:501:513:U-CAMPC004\Guest,S-1-5-21-527237240-85424 5398-1202660629-501:/home/Guest:/bin/false #/etc/group - as was Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544: Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546: #/etc/group entries from output of mkpasswd -g Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544:: Guests:*:546:546:,S-1-5-32-546:: ::feeling the water coming in over the top of my wellies:: Cheers, Phil. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
