RE: Cygwin 1.5.16 (0.128/4/2): - mkpasswd (249) : [5] Access denied error while running mkpasswd / mkgroup command
Original Message From: Moghe, Jayant Sent: 14 June 2005 12:25 We have Cygwin 1.5.16 and is installed on Windows 2000 server. When I run command mkpasswd -l -d /etc/passwd Or mkgroup -l -d /etc/group, I get the following error message mkpasswd (249) : [5] Access denied Assuming the perms on the files are ok (they should usually be -rw-rw-rw-, which would give network security palpitations if they knew about it!), perhaps you have a cygwin service running that is keeping them locked open? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
