I keep getting the infamous 'Your group is currently "mkpasswd"' every time I open a new terminal. Since this is a domain, I first tried "mpasswd -l -d >| /etc/passwd" but the domain lookup seemed to hang forever (after first generating the local group portion). Note that "mkgroup -l -d >| /etc/group worked but was slow. I then tried "mkpasswd -l -c >| /etc/passwd" followed by "mkgroup -l -c >| /etc/group" But I still got the same 'mkpasswd' error message and indeed running groups just returned 'mkpasswd' and running 'id -a' returned: uid=400(MYUSERNAME) gid=401(mkpasswd) groups=401(mkpasswd) I have never had this problem before on non-domain PC's. Any thoughts on what I need to do to fix this? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
