Hi! ----
Does anyone know a list of SIDs which can be used to get the user+group accounts for passwd entry "Adminstrator" and group entry "None" ? Our problem is that the actual account names vary with the system locale, e.g. group entry "None" is "Kein" in "de_DE", "Aucun" in fr_FR etc. ... ... so far we thought we fixed this by doing a lookup via SID, and then remembering the localised name. But: The SIDs are apparently not stable between Windows versions. For example: ---- snip ---- # Windows Server 2022/en $ getent group None None:S-1-5-21-168624908-967194555-3343779530-513:197121: # Windows Server 2019 $ getent group None None:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-513:197121 ---- snip ---- And if there is no such list, would $ mkgroup | egrep ':S-1-5-21-.+-513:' # be a suitable workaround ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
