I've created /etc/passwd by issuing mkpasswd -du selected-id >> /etc/passwd . I'm having a problem with one id. this id is domain id and has been added to the local admin group. when I logon to the server with this id and start cygwin, the shell comes up and says I don't have any name. so I issue the whoami command and it comes back with uid 30823. The passwd file records for this id shows a uid of 96359. when I replace the 96359 with 30823 the shell seems to act correctly. Does anyone know why I'm getting different (and incorrect uid) for this or any id ? -- 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/
