Hi, I've been using cygwin for several years, and I absolutely love it. thanks! I have installed cygwin on XP machine at work, and ran into setup/configuration problem, Basically its the Your group name is currently "mkpasswd" issue.
mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd mkgroup -l > /etc/group
$ mkpasswd.exe -l -d > /etc/passwd
this failed with "mkpasswd (264): [5] Access is denied." (see attached 1.txt and 1.strace.txt)
$ mkpasswd.exe -l -c > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup.exe -l -c > /etc/group
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.
I would appreciate any help, especially soothing would be to find that my home directory is at c:\cygwin\homes\aviad
thanks Aviad Rozenhek
