Hi folks,
The latest snapshot, 2014-04-10, is a snapshot from CVS HEAD again.
It contains the latest crazy ideas in terms of the user and group
account creation without requiring the /etc/passwd and /etc/group
files.
I installed the complete snapshot and moved /etc/passwd and
/etc/group out of the way. Now all users have gid == uid:
$ mkpasswd.exe
+SYSTEM:*:18:18:U-NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM,S-1-5-18:/home/SYSTEM:/bin/bash
[...]
kbrown:*:197610:197610:...
[...]
sshd:*:197613:197613:...
$ mkgroup.exe
+SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
[...]

Shouldn't ordinary users (like kbrown) have gid == 197121? All
files I created as kbrown prior to the test show group "None", and
all files I created after the test show group "kbrown".
Is this a bug, or is there something weird about my system that's
making this happen? cygcheck output is attached.
Definitely a bug. I "optimized" the code a couple of weeks ago and
while I was at it I "optimized" away the code evaluating local user's
primary gid. Duh. I'm just building a new snapshot.
Works fine now. Thanks.
