Agreed. Perhaps the real question is why Ilya believes he has no group file? He is quite certain, that he has a clean installation of Cygwin. If so, I cannot explain the output he got from /usr/bin/ssh-host-config ... (btw, I cannot explain why ssh-host-config references /etc/group unconditionally; it might not exist, because as far as I know ... it will only be there if the user has created the file - starting 1.7.34) Henri (my last entry, yes, otherwise I will have to subscribe myself to the list ... yes, I know) -- 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
