I've installed cygwin "system wide" on a client (W7 32b) from an account with full Administrators privileges. However, opening a Bash shell (or xterm) as another user prompts:
Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that your gid is not in /etc/group and your uid is not in /etc/passwd The /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt. See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users. Before asking too many questions I should inform you that the settings etc. for the various users on the W7 client resides on a separat server. I've tried various suggestions found in the lists, but with no success. Obviously, there is a solution to my problem, but I'm struggling to find the right one. Do you need more info on my problem? If so, what info is most relevant?
