There have been reports of problmes with network drives, although the symptoms were different. Is your /etc on a local or a network drive?

Re: /etc/group not being read
After seeing permissions and ownerships not updating properly. I stopped the sshd service and started it back up. After that, the group permissions were correctly being assigned. Should I have had to restart the ssh service? When does cywin read /etc/group and /etc/passwd. I was imagining it to be the manner as other unix/linux OSes. thanks for your help.

Are you sure there is only one /etc/group file in your system and the mount points are the same for sshd and you? Verify before and after ssh login. Wait, it must be OK because editing passwd seems to have an effect Another verification is to edit group and change some text, e.g. Domain Users -> X and see if it has any effect. > $ cat /etc/group > SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18: > clearcase:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-1078:1078: > Domain Admins:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-512:512: > Domain Guests:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-514:514: > Domain Users:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-513:513: > ncp:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-1077:1077:xxjames > ncp_modoc:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-1095:1095: > ncppc:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-1023:1023: > NCPSERVE:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-1005:1005: > nice:S-1-5-21-24129212-729888505-1120166462-1006:1006: I cut and pasted your group, changed my passwd gid to 1077 in my passwd. ~> ssh localhost Last login: Tue Nov 5 11:34:19 2002 from localhost Fanfare!!!

Very strange. > I wonder if there is a registry setting that is holding onto the gid. No registry, the gid is purely a Cygwin thing. Let's clarify if changing the gid in passwd affects id when you restart Cygwin if the mounts are the same before and after you ssh if the problem persists if you stop and restart sshd What version are you using?

(mkgroup -l) I am unable to reproduce your problem (on NT4). You only sent us the output of mkgroup, but not what's actually in /etc/group.. Does it occur also if you build /etc/group without the -u ? Also why do you specify -o 0 ? It's not the cause of your problem but as you noticed you then have two different Windows groups (sid #) with the same gid. Can you telnet in? If so, what is the output of id? You are welcome to send me your /etc/group file if you wish (as an attachment), I will try it here.

/etc/group not being read
Hi All, I am having a problem with my /etc/group file not being read when logging in with ssh. I am running w2k sp3, using ntsec.
