Subject: Re: ID command returns mkgroup
On 11/11/2009 02:15 PM, Dexter_Michael wrote:Hi,
I opened cygwin and typed "id" and I noticed the word mkgroup was listed two times after my username.
So I search on this error and found the following command to fix: mkpasswd -l -c> /etc/passwd; mkgroup -l -d> /etc/group
But now when I run id I get a totally different result. It seems the command has placed my userid into a number of ironious groups including Administrators. As fun as that sounds, it seems like I have given myself power I should not have as a basic user.
Can someone help me to correct my id output and rebuild my passwd or group files correctly...?
Read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here: Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
Pay close attention to the request to *attach* and not append cygcheck output. Thanks Larry.
I have attached the cygcheck.out file.
