So yesterday when I installed cygwin I got an error about my group being mkgroup and that it should be rebuilt. It mentioned that if I am a network user I should use mkpasswd and mkgroup with the -d flag. What is this giving me over just saying mkpasswd -l? All I see is it creating massive passwd and group files. Also, I saw that my home dir in my /etc/passwd is somewhere that doesn't exist on a network server. Can I safely just change it to a local /home/user dir? Lastly, I see that some of my files have a group of Users and others have Domain Users, how can I easily set all my files to the same group? I literally just installed Cygwin, so I have no problem reinstalling to "get it right" from the beginning, if there is a better way to install Cygwin when you are on a domain. eweibust AT eweibust_D630 /home $ ls -la total 8 drwxrwxrwx+ 3 eweibust Domain Users 0 Nov 29 17:58 . dr-xr-x---+ 12 eweibust Users 4096 Nov 29 17:58 .. drwxrwxrwx+ 2 eweibust Domain Users 4096 Nov 29 18:00 eweibust -- Erik Weibust developer, blogger - http://erik.weibust.net leader Dallas Java User Group (JavaMUG) - http://javamug.org leader Dallas Spring User Group (SDUG) - http://SpringDallasUG.org ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better sports nut!
