I heard about that problem once already and it seems to happen only with Samba domain controllers. The LookupAccountName system call gets no information but an error message. 1332 means No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. So the Samba server returns a list of group names but a LookupAccountName to get the SID fails. > > For the entire cygwin tree the user of the files is administrator > and the group is mkgroup (!?).

Sorry, no solution yet.
