From: fiat_owner AT yahoo DOT com (Jon Byron Davis) Subject: group passwd who last (three questions) 4 Feb 1998 14:55:59 -0800 Message-ID: <34D8B104.5D0E6BA8.cygnus.gnu-win32@mit.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnuwin32 I made mkgroup -l > /etc/group and mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd but some stuff seems wrong: a) A lot of my files seem to belong to some fellow with UID 544. I don't have a user 544 on this system. When I make a new file, the owner becomes Mr. 544, regardless of who I am when I first touch it. Is this some UN*X thing that I just don't know about? b) I don't seem to have any groups, regardless of what I do in the NT user manager: root AT DOLORES bash-2.01$mkgroup -l None::513: Everyone::0: c) who perpetually thinks that no one is logged in. Again, maybe I'm not using this correctly. root AT DOLORES bash-2.01$who -q # users=0 root AT DOLORES bash-2.01$who -q /var/run/utmp # users=0 root AT DOLORES bash-2.01$who /var/log/wtmp [snip...more like running last] root AT DOLORES bash-2.01$who -q /var/run/utmp [snip...like running last, but not formatted] # users=150 Thanks again, and sorry to clog yer mailboxes!
