I didn't mean a bug, but a different behavior under 1.7.

I have noticed that the following files belong to Nessuno (== None):

$ find /cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/ -group Nessuno -ls
[...] /cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/cygdrive
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/dev
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/dev/mqueue
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/dev/shm
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/dev/stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/dev/stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/bash.bashrc
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/DIR_COLORS
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/fstab
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/fstab.d

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/hosts ->
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/networks ->
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/networks

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/profile

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/protocols ->
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/protocol

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/services ->
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/services

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/skel
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/skel/.bashrc
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/skel/.bash_profile
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/etc/skel/.inputrc
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/lib/terminfo -> /usr/share/terminfo
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/usr/share/info/dir
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/usr/share/misc/man.conf

Now, since them have been created by setup-1.7.exe (called from
Start/Run), I would expect that, after the changes 513 --> 544 etc. in
/etc/passwd, they belong to Administrators etc. (as the do in Cygwin-1.5
and for the other files in 1.7). Evidently, my logic, here, is wrong.

I would tempted to change them manually:

$ find /cygdrive/c/cygwin-2/ -group Nessuno | xargs chgrp -h \
Administrators


Thanks,
    Angelo.
