I have a desktop that I use to access a share with domain credentials
despite not being on domain. So when I map a drive, I map it under
domain\user and give it the password. This drive is mapped as Z.
When I use cygwin to work on those files, it does not inherit the
permissions that I mapped the network drive under and instead insists on
using my local windows user and password (generated with mkpasswd)
rather than what I mapped Z as.
You want to add smbntsec to your CYGWIN environment variable. See
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html for details.
Is there an easy way to manually edit the /etc/passwd file or change how
cygwin reads the mapped volume to get it to use the same permissions
that the windows shell is using?
You'll also want to use mkpasswd -d /etc/passwd to get domain user
information into it, and possibly mkgroup -d /etc/group (notice the
double to append).
(I searched the archives for thisI'm sure it's been answered but I
couldn't find anything - I apologize)
It also helps to read and follow
Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html
in particular the bit about attaching the output of cygcheck -svr.
