I've just completed the installation of Cygwin 1.5.24 to my Windows Server 2003 64-bit machine. I installed using my domain user account (dougruff), and when the installation completed, I was able to launch a bash shell in my login session without any problems. But as soon as another user logs into this system and starts Cygwin bash, they are greeted with an uninitialized Bash shell (no path is set, no prompt is set, etc.) There is no HOME variable set in Windows. Nor is there an entry in /etc/passwd for my account (dougruff). One thing that I notice (which you'll see below) is that the output from /bin/id displays a number of GID's that are > 65536. I've checked the archives for previous instances of this problem but don't seem to find a solution. What could be keeping other users from being able to get a properly initialized shell session on this machine? Here's my cygcheck -svr output: Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Sun Aug 30 23:55:34 2009 Windows 2003 Enterprise Server Ver 5.2 Build 3790 Service Pack 2 Running under WOW64 on AMD64 Running in Terminal Service session Path: D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\bin D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin c:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 c:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\bin d:\Perl\bin\ c:\WINDOWS\system32 c:\WINDOWS c:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem c:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\RAC5 c:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\oma\bin c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Imaging\ d:\jre1.6.0_02\bin d:\perl\bin d:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\instantclient_10_2 d:\jre1.6.0_02\bin d:\perl\bin d:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\instantclient_10_2 Output from D:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec) UID: 400(dougruff) GID: 401(mkpasswd) 0(root) 827296(Local_Support_Group) 837296(Local_Support_Group) 401(mkpasswd) Output from D:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) UID: 400(dougruff) GID: 401(mkpasswd) 0(root) 827296(Local_Support_Group) 837296(Local_Support_Group) 401(mkpasswd) SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\system32 WinDir: C:\WINDOWS USER = 'dougruff' PWD = '/cygdrive/d/tmp' HOME = '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/dougruff' MAKE_MODE = 'unix' HOMEPATH = '\Documents and Settings\dougruff' MANPATH = '/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/man:' DSETPATH = 'C:\Program Files\Dell\DSET' APPDATA = 'C:\Documents and Settings\dougruff\Application Data' PROGRAMW6432 = 'C:\Program Files' HOSTNAME = '2k3-server-001' TERM = 'cygwin' PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = 'EM64T Family 6 Model 29 Stepping 1, GenuineIntel' WINDIR = 'C:\WINDOWS' COMMONPROGRAMW6432 = 'C:\Program Files\Common Files' OLDPWD = '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/dougruff' USERDOMAIN = 'LOCALDOMAIN' COMMONPROGRAMFILES(X86) = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files' UATDATA = 'C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\CCM\UATData\D9F8C395-CAB8-491d-B8AC-179A1FE1BE77' OS = 'Windows_NT' ALLUSERSPROFILE = 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' JRE_HOME = 'D:\jre1.6.0_02' TEMP = '/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/DOUGRU~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/1' COMMONPROGRAMFILES = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files' TOMCAT_DIR = 'apache-tomcat-6.0.14' JRE_HOME_32 = 'D:\jre1.6.0-x86' USERNAME = 'dougruff' CLUSTERLOG = 'C:\WINDOWS\Cluster\cluster.log' PROCESSOR_LEVEL = '6' TNS_ADMIN = 'D:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\network\admin' FP_NO_HOST_CHECK = 'NO' SYSTEMDRIVE = 'C:' PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432 = 'AMD64' USERPROFILE = 'C:\Documents and Settings\dougruff' CLIENTNAME = 'WINDOWSXP' PS1 = '\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\...@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ ' LOGONSERVER = '\\DOMAINDC01' PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = 'x86' !C: = 'C:\Documents and Settings\dougruff' SHLVL = '1' USERDNSDOMAIN = 'DOUG.RUFF.COM' PATHEXT = '.COM;.EXE;..BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH' HOMEDRIVE = 'C:' !D: = 'D:\cygwin\bin' PROMPT = '$P$G' COMSPEC = 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' BASH_ENV = 'D:\appldir01\etc\.bashrc' TMP = '/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/DOUGRU~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/1' SYSTEMROOT = 'C:\WINDOWS' PRINTER = 'HP LaserJet' CVS_RSH = '/bin/ssh' PROCESSOR_REVISION = '1d01' INFOPATH = '/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info:' PROGRAMFILES = 'C:\Program Files (x86)' NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = '16' PROGRAMFILES(X86) = 'C:\Program Files (x86)' SESSIONNAME = 'RDP-Tcp#1' COMPUTERNAME = '2k3-server-001' _ = '/usr/bin/cygcheck' POSIXLY_CORRECT = '1' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = '/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x00000022 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = 'D:\cygwin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = 'D:\cygwin\bin' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = 'D:\cygwin\lib' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options c: hd NTFS 139389Mb 6% CP CS UN PA FC d: hd NTFS 139384Mb 6% CP CS UN PA FC e: hd NTFS 139384Mb 1% CP CS UN PA FC f: hd NTFS 139384Mb 1% CP CS UN PA FC g: cd N/A N/A . /cygdrive user binmode,cygdrive D:\cygwin / system binmode D:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin system binmode D:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib system binmode Found: D:\cygwin\bin\awk.exe Found: D:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe Found: D:\cygwin\bin\cat.exe Found: D:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe Not Found: cpp (good!)
