I ran into a weird "symptom" -- not a bug in anything as near as I can tell, just a weirdness.
Everyone once in a while, when I do an "ls -l" on some groups of files, I'll see a "group" of ??????. With "ls -ln", I see the group has a value "4294967295". Would it be misleading or incorrect to insert an entry in /etc/group (maybe in mkgroup) mapping that value to "nogroup"? If we insert such things "manually", would it be useful if "mkgroup" (and maybe mkpasswd) had some option to "merge" non-conflicting entries into their output, or would that undesirable for some reason? -linda -- 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/
