Thanks for the help.
I set up both passwd and group files using -d option.
Now when I "ls -l" my cygwin home directory I find these
files owned by "dickra". I believe this is "Ryan Dick"
an employee here. Perhaps NTUSER.DAT is causing the
"mkpasswd -l" to create a "Ryan" user.
d---------+ 2 dickra Domain Users 0 Aug 7 2006 .Trash-root
----------+ 1 dickra Domain Users 5505024 Apr 6 12:14 NTUSER.DAT
I fixed the .Trash-root ownership problem but hesitant to approach
NTUSER.DAT problem. What is a recommended way to fix this?
