Hi, John- Since I myself have no idea why it is outputting that message, no I cannot suggest a better message. And I notice that when I did a fresh installation of cygwin and cygwin/x on a brand new system yesterday, now I am getting that message too. Do _you_ have any idea why fresh installations did not used to output this message, but now they do? Is it a new message, or did something change in cygwin or cygwin/x, such that the group now gets initialized to 'mkpasswd' (and did not get so initialized before)?

And now I can add, I _know_ I did not set it to that, yet now I get the message too, when starting up the bash shell. [snip] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
