Hi,

I opened cygwin and typed "id" and I noticed the word mkgroup was listed tw=
o times after my username.

So I search on this error and found the following command to fix:
mkpasswd -l -c > /etc/passwd; mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group


But now when I run id I get a totally different result. =A0It seems the com=
mand has placed my userid into a number of ironious groups including Admini=
strators. =A0As fun as that sounds, it seems like I have given myself power=
 I should not have as a basic user.

Can someone help me to correct my id output and rebuild my passwd or group =
files correctly...?

Thanks
Mike
