Well I am not really sure exactly what I should be seeing.  I think the
command I ran was incorrect, also I had stopped the command from
completing half way through.  Now if I look at me /etc/groups file there
appears to be an entry for every single group in the company but it
stops at G - this must be where I had hit CTRL+C to break out of the
command.

Should my ID output be the same as when I log into a unix server here,
or would it be different?  My cygwin is running on a Windows workstation
so maybe it is grabbing my AD groups as opposed to my NIS groups.

Sorry if this is confusing.  I am still learning the Cygwin shell.

Mike

OK, so you're a domain user that is also part of the local
Administrators=20
and local
Users group, in addition to being part of a number of other domain
groups.
What groups do you believe you're not a part of and why?
