I am running a relatively recent version of Cygwin on the machine (from this spring), and everything had been working fine until I made the following error, blowing away my /etc/group file while logged into the machine over ssh. mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group I searched the web and the best I could find was that perhaps my user didn't have a valid group on the machine, but, that's not the case. I've tried reinstalling the OpenSSH package, removing the sshd user from the system, and various other combinations of tricks, but, no change. Can anyone suggest a fix short of reinstalling all of Cygwin on that machine? Thanks, Doug -- Douglas S. J.
