I am running w2k sp3, using ntsec. I ran mkgroup -d -o 0 -u > /etc/group to create the group file and mkpasswd -d -o 0 > /etc/passwd I am trying to use a global group "ncp" as my primary group, but the only group IDs that I am able to use "setgid" on are local gids. (mkgroup -l) here is my local groups. I can change my gid in /etc/passwd to any of these and ssh logins work great. MODOC [/etc] 109%mkgroup -l SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18: None:S-1-5-21-515967899-1645522239-682003330-513:513: Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544: Backup Operators:S-1-5-32-551:551: Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546: Power Users:S-1-5-32-547:547: Replicator:S-1-5-32-552:552: Users:S-1-5-32-545:545: These are my domain global groups which are also stored in /etc/group. For this email I left off the "-u". Only 513 works, since it is also a local group. If I change my group to 1078 or 1077, I get the "setgid: Invalid arguement" error.

It is my understanding that this should work. Does anyone have any insight to what may be causing this? thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James Below Phone - 216-433-6508 RS Information Systems, Inc.
