OKAY, I have some passwd questions & problems associated with cygwin 1.7.
PRIOR to 1.7, my UID/GID for "Paul" account was 501/401 and all of my
files have correct ownership. When I created /etc/passwd via:
cd /etc
mkpasswk -l -p $HOME >x
vim x { changed: UID/GID to 501/401
{ corrected HOME & SHELL to /bin/ksh
mv x passwd
When I issue "mkpasswd -l", I see UID/GIB for Paul unchanged as well as
the files/folders remain unchanged from:
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 Guest mkpasswd 0 Feb 26 15:04 /home/paul
When I'm looking at document:
http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#passwd
it doesn't describe this procedure as what to do next when converting
an existing release to 1.7 ?? What next?? Remember, this was not a full
upgrade; just updating /bin/cygwin1.dll. I have not made a commitment
to do a full upgrade to 1.7 yet.
