It sounds to me like you have now created passwd and group files using the '-d' flag, but I can't be sure. If you haven't please do so. >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)?

Cygwin utilities (like 'id') really just work off the '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' files. In your case, if the group you're using isn't there, it will return 'mkgroup'. So either you don't have the group in question in your '/etc/group' file or maybe it's just you don't have access to it? Is the 'id' output from cygcheck better now? That's certainly something that's troubling. >Kind regards > >Lars Søndergaard >ATP >Kongens Vænge 8 >3400 Hillerød >Denmark >E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Tlf.: +45 4820 4574 >Mobil: +45 2142 6816 > > > > > Larry Hall > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL > PROTECTED] > n.com> cc: > Vedr.: Re: OpenSSH under the CYGWIN > package, does not read domain groups in > 23-06-2004 16:06 /etc/group file. > Besvar venligst > til Cygwin List > > > > > > >At 07:59 AM 6/23/2004, you wrote: > > > > > > >><snip header> >> >>> Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html >> >>Read it.
