Your version is only as recent as the one on the mirror you're using. If you used a stale mirror, you'll get an older version.

Yes, the %E is short hand for "Win32 error %d", GetLastError()

For future reference, this means termial services (ie. not on the
console).

Sorry Pierre, I replied to your personal address only, but it was bouncing back. uname -r says 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) when I have cygwin installed and update via setup, what I definitely did, why do I have an older version than expected?

Re: problem with mkgroup -d DOMAIN
Thank you all for your help! the 'global object privilege' was the reason for cygwin not running on the Win2003 Server. As a matter of fact. The original question started in another thread first and moved to this one due to two seperate problems. Do they have the "create global object" privilege? If not, try to assign it. As soon as the latest stable Samba version is released I try to check for the persistence of the mkgroup problem. thanks again Stefan -- 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/

No, not the version of cygcheck, the version of cygwin. `uname -r' would show that.

Re: problem with mkgroup -d DOMAIN
Hi Pierre,
thanks first for looking at my problem!
Regarding the CreateFileMapping problem, the message you report is
*** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 0. Terminating.
but the code in Cygwin is
api_fatal ("CreateFileMapping %s, %E. Terminating.", mapname);
The *** in front is added elsewhere, but you are missing the space
after CreateFileMapping and the mapname (which could be null).
I see two formatting arguments but only one parameter. Is that right?
So, what version of Cygwin are you using?
cygcheck -V says 1.38 (is it the version number you needed to know?)
I made an update 2 days ago.
From a cmd window in c:\cygwin\bin, what does
strace true produce?
it gives the same result:
*** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 0. Terminating.
Are the non privileged users running from the console or from
terminal services?
I am not sure whether I understand your question correctly.
The non privilieged users connect from any Windows system
via rdesktop to the Windows 2003 server and are trying to
open a cygwin shell on the Remotedesktor.
Do they have the "create global object" privilege? If not, try
to assign it.
Here I'm lost. How do I do this?
You say it's working on Win2000. What service pack? Also, on that
machine, what are the answers to the 2 questions above?
SP 4 - 'strace true' prints out almost everything I can imagine
starting with Program name: C:\cygwin\bin\true.exe

Edit /etc/group by hand and place this in it:
root:S-1-5-32-544:0:
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:
Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
Backup Operators:S-1-5-32-551:551:
Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546:
Power Users:S-1-5-32-547:547:
Replicator:S-1-5-32-552:552:
Remote Desktop Users:XXX:900: where is the sid for
Remote Desktop Users that you have in /etc/passwd (I think).
I can make more suggestions if you send your passwd file.
Regarding the CreateFileMapping problem, the message you report is
*** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 0. Terminating.
but the code in Cygwin is
api_fatal ("CreateFileMapping %s, %E. Terminating.", mapname);
The *** in front is added elsewhere, but you are missing the space
after CreateFileMapping and the mapname (which could be null).
So, what version of Cygwin are you using?
>From a cmd window in c:\cygwin\bin, what does

Are the non privileged users running from the console or from
terminal services?
Do they have the "create global object" privilege? If not, try
to assign it.

Re: problem with mkgroup -d DOMAIN
Sorry, I forgot to ask: what are the default permissions and user/group combinations after cygwin install? I have administrator/mkpasswd with access code 750 over the entire cygwin tree. Should I simply change the group to somethin like 'Users'?

Re: problem with mkgroup -d DOMAIN
Dear Corinna, although I won't get the group information, it must be possible to create one manually. What is the typical syntax of the group info returned by mkgroup -d DOMAIN? I could try adding that stuff since I cannot persuade our domain controller to answer correctly. Setting up a new Samba seems to be a non trivial task, was the information I got from the administrator of our server. Stefan I heard about that problem once already and it seems to happen only with Samba domain controllers. The LookupAccountName system call gets no information but an error message. 1332 means No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. So the Samba server returns a list of group names but a LookupAccountName to get the SID fails. The mkgroup name means, mkgroup wasn't able to create the list of groups appropriately. -- 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/
