Hi Pierre,

Tried that, but it's a local drive.

OK so I did

$mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group

and

$mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd

and started a clean shell.  Now it looks like this:

jwilliams AT G435-9029 /cygdrive/d/uClinux-dist/user/init
$ ls -alrt init
-rw-r--r--    1 jwilliam Domain U    27984 Apr 15 11:45 init

jwilliams AT G435-9029 /cygdrive/d/uClinux-dist/user/init
$ chmod 777 init

jwilliams AT G435-9029 /cygdrive/d/uClinux-dist/user/init
$ ls -alrt init
-rw-r--r--    1 jwilliam Domain U    27984 Apr 15 11:45 init

ie, nothing's changed.  I tried the same with variants of ntsec and 
nontsec, and the same result.

Also to Igor, the output from cygcheck -svr is huge, should I attach all 
of it, or is there a particular relevant snip?

Thanks,

John
