Hi Corinna,

OK, I shouldn't write just from memory instead of actually retyping the commands.

Given: cygwin on a W2k Primary domain controller.

When running mkpasswd -l and mkgroup -l, you get primary group 513 in passwd, and no mention of either 513 or 10513 in group file.

If you run mkpasswd -d mydomain and mkgroup -d mydomain, you get matching 10513 eintries in both files: 

Resume: In the autogenerated files for local users/groups, the primary group as defined in passwd is missing from the group file. By using domain users/groups instead, you get the expected working result.

Sorry for the confusion, 

Martin
