Hallo,
the cygwin user guide says its a feature that groups can be the owner
of files. can somebody tell me why this is so when you can set the
group attributes accordingly?
also in linux you have a group "root" and a user "root". if both occur
in your /etc/passwd file sshd won't allow "root" to login. :(
only workaround i have is calling the "group root" admin instead of
root.
i find this very disturbing...
any comments?
Ciao
