Greetings, Kеre Edvardsen! > I've installed cygwin "system wide" on a client (W7 32b) from an account > with full Administrators privileges. However, opening a Bash shell (or > xterm) as another user prompts:

It's in front of your eyes. Don't you see it? > mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd > mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group I wish it was that simple... As I said, I've tried various solutions (you'll find several posts around the topic in the list) but non of them seem to solve my problen. meaning: mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd and mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group (or using any other flags) does not make any difference...
