But they may not have the exact sid's or group id's. If you get a 'mkpasswd' as the username you need to run mkpasswd to refresh a stale item(s). Same with mkgroup. If you still end up having mkpasswd/mkgroup as your username/group then there's a problem somewhere. > What typical group do you have on a local user?

Once the user has been added to windows either via gui or the console `net' command then you can add a user to /etc/passwd by $ mkpasswd -l -u USERNAME >>/etc/passwd and to add a new group, mkgroup doesn't have this same kind of option AFAIK, I use this mkgroup -l |grep GROUPNAME >>/etc/group Regards, Elfyn McBratney [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.exposure.org.uk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
