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.
The unmodified output of 'mkpasswd -l -c' is:
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
None:S-1-5-21-1606980848-308236825-725345543-513:513:

The unmodified out of 'mkgroup -l -c' is:

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

Kiwhan,
I see your user is a domain user, and you have at least one domain group.
You may have to do an "mkgroup -d >> /etc/group", just to pull in other
domain groups. I'd bet that if you did "ls -ln cygcheck.txt", you'd see a
group id >10000, which indicates a domain group.
Igor
P.S. It'd be interesting to find out why mkgroup created two entries with
the same SID, but thought that one was a domain group... Pierre?
