Is "UK" the name of the local machine or the name of your domain? How does your /etc/nsswitch.conf file look like? Do you still have /etc/passwd and /etc/group files? If so, does removing the files change the above behaviour? If so, can you attach both files verbatim to your reply? Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer
