The first was ("mkpasswd: [5] Access is denied.") where the user, Peter Canning had problems running mkpasswd agains his own user and the second that's just come in is ("no man pages"). Both have the group set to 'mkpasswd'. Also this was in the strace output that Peter sent in, I withheld this bit, as I didn't quite know whether this was intended (from mkpasswd's side) 65 19353 [main] mkpasswd 1148 pwdgrp::read_group: Completing /etc/group: mkpasswd:S-1-5-21-1045767534-453787399-1741382010-513:401:canning Just wondered what to reply with. Is it a simple matter of running mkgroup? or mkpasswd? Sorry if this sounds like a groan, I just don't want to reply with the wrong answer as I quite often do ;-) Regards, Elfyn McBratney elfyn@exposure.org.uk www.exposure.org.uk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
