Hi,
I've installed cygwin V1.7.5 within Windows7 SP1.
Curiously a file seems to have two different owners. Depends on the
account which list the file.
If I run a cmd as a normal user and list file:
C:\>ls -lh /
drwxrwx---+ 1 ???????? Administrators 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
C:\>ls -lhn /
drwxrwx---+ 1 4294967295 544 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
If I run a cmd as administrator and list file:
C:\>ls -lh /
drwxrwx---+ 1 Backup Administrators 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
C:\>ls -lhn /
drwxrwx---+ 1 1033 544 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
I haven't any problem because of this behaviour but I want understand what
happens their.
Thanks for any hint
Matthias
Damned!!
I'm looking around this since 3 days. Today I write this mail to you and
5min later I am stumbling about the solution.
Should I laugh or cry?
As normal user "grep 1033 /etc/passwd" don't deliver a result. So I removed
/etc/passwd.
After this the misterious was removed too. It seems there was two files
/etc/passwd on the same place. An old one (without the user 1033) and the
actual one.
Anyone knows how it is possible to have one file two times?
My guess is the "old" file was not readable by the "normal" user but was
for a user with administrative privileges. Same file, different access.
