If I replace it with my custom /etc/passwd file and replace cygwin's seteuid/geteuid calls with custom implementation, will my application work? How does cygwin internally uses uid's and gid's? thanks, Vishal _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -- 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/
