I just uploaded a new snapshot to http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
This snapshot contains only a single change: It drops the prepended
plus entirely, So the builtin and well-known accounts are now called as
familiar: SYSTEM instead of +SYSTEM, Administrators instead of
+Administrators, etc.
The documentation doesn't reflect this change yet, but I will fix that
pretty soon.
As for other changes, I'm still not sure since we seem to have as
many different opinions as interested community members :}
I would still like to drop the db_prefix and db_separator settings and
just stick to the setting called "auto":
builtin accounts; "SYSTEM", "Administrators", etc.
primary domain "corinna", "yaakov", ...
This is typically all you see on non-domain machines. On domain
maches, add this:
other domain: "DOMAIN1+walter", "DOMAIN2+mathilda"
(local SAM accounts are subsumed under "other domain" here).
Would anybody have really terrible problems with this approach?
If so, what problems?
Corinna
