Re: group ownership of files

Igor,

Thank you for replying. Appending ' mkgroup -d' output did not help at all. I think I need to explain a bit. The group and mkpasswd files are modified by me in vain attempt to get the group ownership sync. It obviously did not solve my problem.


Right. Don't do that unless you really understand what you're doing.



BTW, what do * as in 'SYSTEM:*:' and 'kiwhan:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:' mean?


See <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html>.  You can safely
ignore the password entries on NT/2000/XP (is this a hint? ;-) )
