RE: Non-trusted domain user causes mkpasswd and mkgroup to fail

domain user account. Perhaps I'm confusing things by using the example name "user" in both cases. Let me try restating it: "runas /netonly /user:domain1\userA" followed by "mkpasswd -d domain1 -u userA": works "runas /netonly /user:machine2\userB"

Non-trusted domain user causes mkpasswd and mkgroup to fail

I am trying to use mkpasswd and mkgroup to add entries for my user account in an AD domain that is different my workstation login domain. There is no trust relationship between the domains, and the user name is different in each domain. When I try this, I receive an error: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc

_initgroups missing?

I was looking for an exported "_initgroups" symbol in "cygwin1.dll". I found "initgroups" but not "_initgroups". Since most functions are exported as both "foo" and "_foo", why is there an "initgroups" but no "_initgroups"? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
