Hi. Fair enough, I'll do that next time. The problem is, that even after making a brand new passwd and group file, I still get the same result. The only output I edited was the group and passwd files, where I deleted some of the lines, so as not make it to long. To me it looks like MKGROUP group is the result I get, if the group specified in the passwd file dosn't exist in the group file. Does CYGWIN do some additional checking of the group - like asking the domain server, if it's the right group (something that might be blocked or not allowed)? In the same breath, i'll say I haven't seen any evidence pointing in that direction, in the logs that I have access to.

The output above pretty clearly explained what you should do if you wanted to solve this problem. Why not just follow the directions and solve the problem as recommended? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
