Hi all,

I've set up Cygwin on a portable usb drive and would like to use it on
different machines.

The problem is that one of the machines is a standalone, the other is a
domain machine. When I used it from the standalone it worked fine. When I
started it on the domain machine I got:

Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that the /etc/passwd
files should be re-built...

What are the consequences of being in the mkpasswd group??

Is there anyway I can get Cygwin to run as a cygwin user - i.e. nothing to
do with the user that's currently logged into windows?

Thanks

Gareth
