Subject: Ntsec broke after either user change or upgrade
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi all!

Here's the full story:
Either a bad sector or Direct X upgrade destroyed the Administrator 
registry. After a lot of fiddeling, decided to create another user, called 
Admin. Before that, I upgraded my cygwin installation from 1.1.6 to 1.1.8:

admin AT SERVER ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 SERVER 1.1.8(0.34/3/2) 2001-01-31 10:08 i686 unknown

been doing a lot of reconfiguring, but I just can't get ntsec to work anymore:
admin AT SERVER ~
$ cat <<EOF >./test
 > testfile
 > EOF

admin AT SERVER ~
$ chmod 666 test

admin AT SERVER ~
$ ls -la test
-rw-r--r--   1 admin    None            9 Apr  7 15:37 test

admin AT SERVER ~
$ chown admin.Administrators test

admin AT SERVER ~
$ ls -la test
-rw-r--r--   1 admin    None            9 Apr  7 15:37 test

admin AT SERVER ~
$ cat /cygwin.bat
@echo off

F:
chdir \cygwin\bin
set CYGWIN=noenvcache export ntsec
bash --login -i

On the NTSecurity level, I changed everything under Cygwin, to have 'admin' 
full control. The password file, doesn't contain the original Administrator 
anymore, and Admin is setup as:
admin AT SERVER ~
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep ^Admin
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Admin::1002:513:,S-1-5-21-1584879045-174592816-227697207-1002:/home/admin:/bin/b
ash

There are no domains. The 'Server' runs NT Workstation 4.0SP6a.

I'm currently running under the Admin user.

Funny thing is, that login (as seen in ftp and ssh) now does work 
correctly, only - other users cannot upload anything, since the default 
mode of 755 for directories applies.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Melvyn Sopacua
