Apples/Oranges. "cn" is used as the Cygwin group name for an existing Windows group. It's just a name change. I don;'t know if anybody is interested in this at all, but it was possible with /etc/group. For instance, you just hate the group name "Domain Users", so you set the cn attribute to "HiveAnts", and Cygwin will use the name "HiveAnts" as Cygwin user name. > ? > (Yeah, I have Samba3/LDAP domain...) > > > > The <cygwin .../> string can start at any point in the comment, but > > you have to follow the rules: > > > - It starts with "<cygwin " and ends with "/>". > > - The "cygwin" string and the key names have to be lowercase. > > - No spaces between key and "value", just the equal sign. > > - The value must be placed within double quotes and it must not > > contain a double quote itself.
