There seems to be some problems in the (cygwin emulation) of ownership
and group membership. I'm running inetd (and cygwin-1.1.1) on Windows
NT. When I telnet or rsh in as a non-Administrators group user (the user
is a member of Power Users, but not Administrators) and run id, I get
uid=1003(jadu) gid=513(Administrators)
My system/global CYGWIN is set to tty ntea ntsec, although that doesn't
show up in rsh sessions.
One other discrepancy concerns file ownership. Logged in as jadu, ls
-alF ~jadu shows
bash-2.03$ id
uid=1003(jadu) gid=513(Administrators)
bash-2.03$
total 7
drwxr-xr-x 2 jadu Administ 4096 May 19 07:49 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 jadu Administ 4096 May 19 07:42 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 jadu Administ 366 May 19 07:34 .bash_history
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jadu Administ 205 May 19 07:49 .bashrc*
-rw-r--r-- 1 jadu Administ 1742 May 18 08:40 login.README
If I'm logged in as Administrator, I get
bash-2.03$ id
uid=500(administrator) gid=513(Administrators)
bash-2.03$ ls -alF
total 7
drwxr-xr-x 2 administ Administ 4096 May 19 07:49 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 administ Administ 4096 May 19 07:42 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ Administ 447 May 19 07:53 .bash_history
-rwxr-xr-x 1 administ Administ 205 May 19 07:49 .bashrc*
-rw-r--r-- 1 administ Administ 1742 May 18 08:40 login.README
It appears the file owner follows whoever is logged in. Yet I (as
Administrator) can't write to ~jadu:
bash-2.03$ cd ~jadu
bash-2.03$ touch junk
touch: junk: Permission denied
