I encountered some problems with the mkgroup command during my trial to get cygwin running on a Windows 2003 server machine (Topic: running the latest cygwin on a windows 2003 server)
The domain controller is a Linux system running Samba for file system sharing.
The 'mkpasswd -d DOMAIN' command works fine and I did append this information to /etc/passwd
The 'mkgroup -d DOMAIN' command, however, failed for some reason I don't know, yet. The output is:
LookupAccountName (\\Host, Domain Admins) failed with error 1332 LookupAccountName (\\Host, Domain Users) failed with error 1332
For the entire cygwin tree the user of the files is administrator and the group is mkgroup (!?). Even with chgrp I am not able to temporarily change the group to 'Users' for example.
Actually, even after reading the user's guide I have some problems on understanding the grouping scheme. Why do I have the following entry in my /etc/group?
mkgroup-1-d:S-1-5-32-545:10545
and how is it mapped to the users that are taken from the domain controller generated passwd database?
Thanks for any help
Stefan
