I had to delete a corrupted Windows account and recreate it. For cygwin, the new account, although with the same name, has a different user id. Of course, this creates access problems for existing files (even if they appear to have the same user in ls -l, because the *old user* is still listed in /etc/passwd). Is there a canonical solution to this problem, other than running chown -R $USER ~ ? Can the new user be forced to use the previous user ID? Thanks Thomas
