Subject:	Adding new user 'nobody' - PLEASE help!
Mime-Version:	1.0

Hi everyone.  I have installed cygwin on NT, and am at the end of my rope trying
to add a new user called nobody!

I have added CYGWIN=ntsec, and have created a user under NT of nobody, in group
Users.  I believe I have to add a line to the /etc/passwd file, but have tried
everything I can think of, and I still get the message  chown: `nobody': invalid
user.  I can, however, chown using one of the existing users in /etc/passwd no
problem.  By the way, how did they get there?!

Would *really* appreciate some help here, as I have gone as far as I can!

Many thanks,

Dave
