Subject: chmod and ntsec
If you can't be bothered to read the 9 page FAQ on ntsec, try this:
bash> cp -p /etc/passwd /etc/passwd0 && mkpasswd -l -d >/etc/passwd
bash> cp -p /etc/group /etc/group0 && mkgroup -l -d >/etc/group
The "-l" switch examines your NT musrmgr.exe database.
The "-d" switch must examine the user database on your domain.
I wasted a load of time trying to get ntsec working, too, so now I just use "ntea" in the CYGWIN variable. Apparently this is not a
good idea for FAT disks, but all mine are NTFS so I don't care.
