I frequently encounter problems due to file ownership and permissions
for the "system" files in /usr, /bin, /sbin/ /etc, and so forth. For
example, when I type
su Administrator
cygwin responds
/usr/bin/su: /bin/bash: Permission denied
I know enough to have done
mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd
mkgroup -l >/etc/group
My CYGWIN variable is
"ntsec,server"
I use Windows XP and all my filesystems are NTFS.
What is the recommended user.group ownership for the important files
in /bin, /sbin, /usr, /etc, and so on? What are the recommended
permission bits?
