That worked on the customers machine: getent group | fgrep 'S-1-5-21-' Kein:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-513:197121: mygrp1:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1003:197611: mygrp2:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1004:197612: mygrp3:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1005:197613: __vmware__:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-1002:197610: Kein:S-1-5-21-3286904461-661230000-4220857270-513:197121: but "db_enum: cache builtin local" in nsswitch.conf works too.

It would suffice to turn change the default to "db_enum: cache builtin local" for 3.5.1 Dan -- Dan Shelton - Cluster Specialist Win/Lin/Bsd -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
