OK, take a look at <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-ids>. You'll want to use 'mkpasswd' and 'mkgroup' to get the passwd and group files fixed up.

I've read that page multiple times, and it still looks greek to me. :/ What I know is, the CIFS drive is mounted as the user "build". The user I log into windows with is "build". The user cygwin runs under is "build". So all 3 of those match. I don't see why there's any issue at all determining who owns the files.

build@zre-win-002 ~
$ id build
uid=503(build) gid=513(None) groups=513(None)

build@zre-win-002 ~
$ grep build /etc/passwd
build:unused:503:513:U-ZRE-WIN-002\build,S-1-5-21-1229272821-2049760794-1417001333-1003:/home/build:/bin/bash

This shouldn't be significant but is there a reason that you changed your uid to 503 from 1003?

build@zre-win-002 ~
$ grep 513 /etc/group
None:S-1-5-21-1229272821-2049760794-1417001333-513:513:

Hm, what does 'ls -ln' look like? I can guess but I shouldn't do that. ;-)


That covers all the obvious things for me.  I'd recommend taking a look at
the SAMBA server to see if user IDs are mapped correctly.  Also, I know
there were some problems in the past with older Samba servers, bugs and
all.  Make sure you're using a current version there.  It may be
worthwhile to look at the permissions and owners from the Windows
perspective too.  If that doesn't get you anywhere, I'd recommend filing
a full problem report on your follow-up to the list.  See the link below
