This is just an issue for first time installations, right? AFAICT, /etc/passwd should not be produced if there is already a /etc/passwd. Ditto /etc/group. I guess the best solution is to present the user with several options 1) Create /etc/passwd using local accounts? 2) Create /etc/passwd using domain accounts? 3) Create /etc/passwd using local and domain accounts? 4) Don't create /etc/passwd Then we have to remember what the user wanted. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
