The problem here is that it's impossible to generate access permissions for the pty with those weird accounts. I like it how Microsoft screws up otherwise working software with this strange domain handling. To fix this we have to be able to come up with a working user and group account for these cases. For that I need at least output from `whoami /all'. I wonder why supposedly nobody tried that after /fqdn didn't work. This may be fixable by somebody with such an account and willing to hack on the Cygwin function pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows(). There's already some code for the so-called "Windows accounts" which seem to work in a similar fashion (albeit in this case the user has a local account SID). Alternatively I need at least a guinea pig with such an account, Corinna --=20 Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat --NPukt5Otb9an/u20 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJXoG3OAAoJEPU2Bp2uRE+gCscP/0BQpDFHrbbtqfXyyThukZZp 9NhInWrVY4xlMSn+4qdx5eSw2zq4AaEK/KLVYwv3cfUUncPfz+DC9P29oo5cEkIw VIcVBG0iKb1tqIeEDVjvdH1dI1nHhXvtua0bQcZ0/T4vdQge+H1SpCm7NIRgSgZI KO2JZF76Kv9Rx4x13lcCkVn6ZjO7meEDLkpPXQByqxf67MOvO0MR/xAR05aCPk+S mfHsW2gkoSC8XRhC08TJ9rqakH2D5GYuRSbEn3loLf5v5yO2Ot118kCarZ3volqW L9Q+OaA2ypTO7xgpwvy0TIxq8WBJyBJ6dUN5iPX4fpJnxtcHUqHZVDI8HSYODkVO XoY40cDx0l2uHek3rECvNNwExagTiElED60Cdw3YXvELnsTMm5YGZV1YQ6QpJs8a sc2OrTFR8v1GYHvJl9K60ttsDKvS5pKAX8+r3tq/hXmsNWD4kGo1w5qyeqjMei44 erskKxAkFk9AtzH3WzaqCLS3GPBU8K9qf4+TE52MJr40N0pXdDCsncwYBqpvMjE0 ls/g7HputdXRBmOvfczlg6YKaHfgiVuqY4ZPfsvsusSt9gk6GlycOVPPm2t4mJHD kZSjDp79MHpXZQ5if6oyawjTsA+FOWFGEnMNE1uglU/NBDmvK1PsYt28UjBeWfaV LhJLMKMwzgcqZ9gNVA62 =D1iD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NPukt5Otb9an/u20--
