Hi!
I am trying to build tar using cygwin B20. Since I don't have a tar
executable on my Windows machine, I untarred the distribution on the
UNIX box and used samba to transfer the files to the Windows box.
However, it doesn't seem to allow me to write in the directory I have
just created:
|bash-2.02$ ls -al
|total 236
|drwxr-xr-x 9 544 Kein 0 Jan 4 21:33 .
|drwxr-xr-x 10 544 Kein 0 Jan 4 21:33 ..
|-rw-r--r-- 1 544 Kein 11451 Apr 19 1997 ABOUT-NLS
|-rw-r--r-- 1 544 Kein 1040 Apr 19 1997 AC-PATCHES
<snip>
|drwxr-xr-x 2 544 Kein 0 Jan 4 21:33 tests
|bash-2.02$ cat /etc/passwd
|Administrator::500:513:::/bin/sh
|Gast::501:513:::/bin/sh
|mh::1000:513:::/bin/sh
|bash-2.02$ cat /etc/group
|Kein::513:
|Everyone::0:
|bash-2.02$ whoami
|administrator
|bash-2.02$
Where does that uid 544 come from?
Greetings
Marc
