Unfortunately not an option since I don't control the PDC and am not allowed to install Cygwin on it. The only reason I have the Domain Admin password is so I can add/remove users from certain groups. > Just because NT confuses local and domain groups, doesn't mean that > cygwin should try to make the same mistake, ergo you shouldn't expect > cygwin to act like NT, it should act like UNIX.

What about 'mkgroup -d DOMAIN -l' extracting the local groups from the domain server? I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just trying to avoid having to have to create seperate user accounts just for my machine. ttfn, -matt ----------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Wilkie * Yukon Renewable Resources GIS http://renres.gov.yk.ca/pubs/rrgis/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
