Hi.

Fair enough, I'll do that next time.

The problem is, that even after making a brand new passwd and group file, I
still get the same result. The only output I edited was the group and
passwd files, where I deleted some of the lines, so as not make it to long.

To me it looks like MKGROUP group is the result I get, if the group
specified in the passwd file dosn't exist in the group file.
Does CYGWIN do some additional checking of the group - like asking the
domain server, if it's the right group (something that might be blocked or
not allowed)? In the same breath, i'll say I haven't seen any evidence
pointing in that direction, in the logs that I have access to.

Kind regards

We really prefer that you *attach* this, not inline it.

This doesn't look good.  Did you edit this output?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ditto

And why did you do that?  The output above pretty clearly explained what
you should do if you wanted to solve this problem.  Why not just follow
the directions and solve the problem as recommended?
