Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2003 13:59:15 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Executing "mkgroup -ld" nor "mkgroup -l" did not help anything. Oh well, it only happens when I open Cygwin, so I guess I can live with it.

If you really don't need ntsec (or ntea) support, then I suppose you don't need to worry about this. It's there because this is the cause of some common Cygwin problems. > [...] > C:\Tools\cygwin\bin\id.exe output (nontsec) > UID: 11187(mraible) GID: 10513(mkgroup_l_d) > 10513(mkgroup_l_d) > > C:\Tools\cygwin\bin\id.exe output (ntsec) > UID: 11187(mraible) GID: 10513(mkgroup_l_d) > 544(Administrators) 547(Power Users) > 545(Users) 10513(mkgroup_l_d) -- Elfyn -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
