Supplementary groups don't work, right? (Just making sure I
understand what's going on.)
Anyway, given that NT doesn't quite seem to see a difference
between user and group ids (Novell is similar, incidentally), I
decided
mkdir /etc
cd /etc
( mkpasswd -l -g ; mkgroup -l ) | sort -n -t: +2 > common
ln common passwd
ln common group
was the way to go here.
Using the 19990929 cygwin1.dll, this seems to work now. Thanks!
One more question: I see directories getting the other t bit set.
What does this mean?

Thanks again!
