All files in the Cygwin=20 installation (/bin, /usr/bin, /lib, ...) are owned by kaz:kaz. Numerically, 197613:197613. The UID and GID are the same number. I don't see a passwd file any more in current Cygwin, but getpwent=20 works: 4$ txr This is the TXR Lisp interactive listener of TXR 243. Quit with :quit or Ctrl-D on an empty line. Ctrl-X ? for cheatsheet. 1> (getpwent) #S(passwd name "kaz" passwd "*" uid 197613 gid 197613 gecos=20 "U-BLACKBOX\\kaz,S-1-5-21-3442361740-4082249206-548862920-1005" dir "/home/kaz" shell "/bin/bash") 2> (getpwent) #S(passwd name "SYSTEM" passwd "*" uid 18 gid 18 gecos "U-NT=20 AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM,S-1-5-18" dir "/home/SYSTEM" shell "/bin/bash") I have no clue where this configuration came from. Is there some=20 prompting for these names when a new installation is made? If nobody else has this problem, I must have done something wrong.
