From your attached text: >$ ls -ltr /cygdrive/h >total 200 >-rw-r--r-- 1 sacharb mkgroup- 201884 Sep 4 2001 impacddl.zip Notice that the group ownership is set to 'mkgroup-'. This indicates that your entry for 'sacharb' has not been setup completely in your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. This is further indicated from your attached text: >Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (nontsec) >UID: 25016(sacharb) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d) >10545(mkgroup-l-d) > >Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (ntsec) >UID: 25016(sacharb) GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d) >0(root) 544(Administrators) >545(Users) 1005(ORA_DBA) 10545(mkgroup-l-d) The "GID: 10545(mkgroup-l-d)" is telling you to run the mkgroup command to update your /etc/group file (and make a corresponding change to your entry in your /etc/passwd file). Please see the documentation in the manual pages for the 'mkpasswd' and 'mkgroup' commands, i.e., run "man mkpasswd" and "man mkgroup". -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
