Subject:	/etc/group not being read
Mime-Version:	1.0

Hi All,

I am having a problem with my /etc/group file not being read when logging 
in with ssh. I am running w2k sp3, using ntsec.

I ran mkgroup -d -o 0 -u > /etc/group to create the group file
and mkpasswd -d -o 0 > /etc/passwd

I am trying to use a global group "ncp" as my primary group, but the only 
group IDs that I am able to use "setgid" on are local gids. (mkgroup -l)

here is my local groups. I can change my gid in /etc/passwd to any of these 
and ssh logins work great.

MODOC [/etc] 109%mkgroup -l

These are my domain global groups which are also stored in /etc/group. For 
this email I left off the "-u". Only 513 works, since it is also a local 
group. If I change my group to 1078 or 1077, I get the "setgid: Invalid 
arguement" error.

I read through the cygwin NT sec documents. It is my understanding that 
this should work.

Does anyone have any insight to what may be causing this?

thanks.
