Hi How can you set up cygwin so that Windows domain usernames are being used, rather than what I have now, which is, at the cygwin prompt:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Note that people are logging into the machine as a domain user, but as that domain user they are administrator on their local machine. This is (I think) why cygwin puts [EMAIL PROTECTED]> at the prompt. However, I would like people to have a cygwin prompt which recognises their Windows domain username as well as the permissions, so that if they go into a directory with cygwin (for example a mapped Z drive), the windows permissions are taken into account when commands are given at the cygwin prompt. How can this be done? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
