(Just making sure I understand what's going on.) Anyway, given that NT doesn't quite seem to see a difference between user and group ids (Novell is similar, incidentally), I decided mkdir /etc cd /etc ( mkpasswd -l -g ; mkgroup -l ) | sort -n -t: +2 > common ln common passwd ln common group was the way to go here. Using the 19990929 cygwin1.dll, this seems to work now. Thanks! One more question: I see directories getting the other t bit set.
