Wait, are you saying it still works if you revert your cygwin DLL? I was assuming something must have changed on your server since that version was released, but maybe your server is actually configured to give read access to world/none, and the checking actually is being done at the cygwin end? If that's the case you might be able to fix it up by fudging your /etc/passwd so that it says D1\kjt instead of D2\kjt - the SID will still point at D2\kjt in any case. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
