Re: setup snapshot?


I've just run the Setup snapshot on a fresh NT/4 machine
$ uname --all
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 nt4-rlandheer 1.3.21(0.77/3/2) 2003-03-12 00:24 i686 unknown 
unknown Cygwin
During the post-install scripts, I got an error # 2453 from mkpasswd. The 
result is:
$ id
uid=400(RLandheer) gid=401(mkpasswd) groups=401(mkpasswd)
and 
$ echo $HOME
/cygdrive/c/users/default
$ cat passwd
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrateurs:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
$ cat group
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:

running mkpasswd from the command-line reproduces the error when run with 
the -d option (but works nicely with -l or -g

$ mkgroup -d
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
Cannot get PDC, code = 2453

I don't know if any of this has anything to do with the new Setup (I 
haven't tried it with the old one yet)..
