This is just a guess but I when I installed from scratch (NT 4 SP6a) and included OpenSSH, a DOS window popped up and ran the "mkpasswd -l" and "mkgroup -l" commands. This was run from a batch file and was saved as "\cygwin\etc\postinstall\passwd-grp.bat.done". If you installed OpenSSH, check your /etc directory and see if you have a passwd file. Like I said, just a guess - I'm very new to cygwin myself. rotaiv. -- 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/
