Yeah, that's what I thought, but: gary@mimosa ~ $ mkgroup -l -g subversion-user subversion-user:S-1-5-21-1715567821-220523388-682003330-1016:1016: gary@mimosa ~ $ mkpasswd -l -u svn svn:unused:1015:513:U-MIMOSA\svn,S-1-5-21-1715567821-220523388-682003330-10= 15:/home/svn:/bin/bash gary@sunflower ~ $ mkgroup -l -g subversion-user subversion-user:S-1-5-21-1004336348-492894223-1060284298-1007:1007: gary@sunflower ~ $ mkpasswd -l -u svn svn:unused:1006:513:U-SUNFLOWER\svn,S-1-5-21-1004336348-492894223-106028429= 8-1006:/home/svn:/bin/bash Clearly, they're different, which is what I mean when I say "I shouldn't have, I should have done something else instead". How can I add the user and group to sunflower (the second machine) and ensure they are identical to those on mimosa, at least as far as the areas Cygwin is concerned about, given that they are first added using the Windows util? > Add them and this problem should go away.
