RE: cygwin and mkpasswd unable to recognize a domain user


Thanks for the info. Pierre. Comments below.

Right, but this is just a symptom (as you know). The more fundamental
problem
seems to be that the user id. is not recognized by cygwin so no
  /cygwin/home/<user> 
directory gets set up.

I tried this at the bash window.

  cd /cygdrive/c/cygwin/etc
  mkpasswd -l -c > passwd
  mkgroup -l -c > group

After that I did see info. about my own domain log-in in file passwd. 
Then I closed the bash window and opened another to see if I still got
complaints. Unfortunately, yes, though the error message
is slightly different as follows.

  Your group name is currently "mkgroup_l_d". This indicates that not
  all domain users and groups are listed in the /etc/passwd and
  /etc/group files.
  See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run
  mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd
  mkgroup  -l -d > /etc/group

  This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate /etc/group)
  and can be safely ignored.
  cp: `Settings/E712418/group.mkgroup_l_d': specified destination directory
does not exist
  Try `cp --help' for more information.

Also, I tried logging off and logging on to see if, after the passwd file
change, the user home 
directory would appear as 
  /cygwin/home/<user> 
but it didn't.

As to the output of "set" executed at a windows command prompt see below.

Jed
