Further information would be useful, such as the attached output of 'cygcheck -svr'; see cygwin.com/problems.html. And that mkgroup_ as the group name is fishy; your /etc/group file is probably out-of-date, so see the output of 'mkgroup --help' to remedy that. > > I don't know about the 'stat' command you are refering to. It is part of coreutils-5.3.0-6. Have you upgraded your installation in a while? - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
