Greetings, I found a similar message in the archives (http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2008-06/msg00068.html), but I can't divine a solution to my problem from it. I have essentially the same problem: I have mounted some drives from a samba server on my Windows box. But in cygwin, I get "permission denied" when I try and run scripts or access some files on the share drives. I know this is a permissions mapping issue. For instance, my id in cygwin:
$ id -a uid=1015(yamokosk) gid=513(None) groups=0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users),513(None) And when I ssh into basement and use the same command, [yamoko...@samba-server ~]$ id -a uid=527(yamokoski) gid=200(XXXXXXX) groups=100(users),200(XXXXXXX),521(R2) I took a look at the documentation for mkpasswd/mkgroup. But I can't figure out how these commands can help me fix my problem. I did try and poke around in the /etc/passwd and manually tried some things but nothing worked. Or can this be fixed via some different mount options? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
