I am running the latest Cygwin installation on Windows XP w/ all the latest windows patches. Here are the symptoms/facts.
1. When I delete the passwd and groups file, Cygwin makes a dummy logon for me. I can do all sorts of normal network activity from the command line ( SSH, etc.). However, I don't think this is what you're supposed to do. 2. I have no local account for my user on the PC. It is associated with a windows domain account. 3. When I setup the groups and password files the way I think they should be setup, I have no access. I have also tried associating myself with the local administrator account group to no avail (by modifying the 3rd field of the passwd file). cat /etc/group Domain Users:S-1-5-21-3885614643-332083874-814631590-513:10513: cat /etc/passwd furashg:unused:102527:10513:Furash, Gary F - (furashg),U-CATNET\furashg,S-1-5-21-3885614643-332083874-814631590-92527:/cy gdrive/c/users/furashg:/bin/bash Again, if I modify the group above so it just contains the local administrator group (544), then change 10513 above to 544, I still can't do any network things. 4. From the DOS prompt, I can do all my normal network stuff. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
