Ok, that's more or less what I expected... > 1125370 does not appear anywhere in the whoami output. However, > u074036 does appear twice in the whoami output.

It explains the problem at least partially. But... there's something weird here: While this is both time the same DOMAIN\user combination, it has two different SIDs. I never, ever saw that. It looks broken to me, but I could be missing something. > Now this makes no sense to me....I don't understand why "I" am both a > user and a group....any thoughts on that? Not really something which would help you, I guess. It might be a deliberate corporate setting, or a mistake when setting up your group memberships. Windows doesn't care. A group may be used as owner and a user may be used as group, it's all the same to Windows. However, the differnet SIDs for the same domain\user looks really strange. I can't explain that, sorry. I'd suggest to ask the admins, maybe somebody can explain, and, hopefully, you can share the info :} Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
