If that is the case, the output you show matches my experience. Files with owner matching the logged in user in such a case one end up with an owner SID like the S-1-5-21-2908258922-1501660359-1356206134-1000 seen in your output, as if it is a local user defined only by the samba server itself. (It seems tied to neither my Unix userid nor my Windows Domain SID, it just seems as if the samba server pretends to be a local Windows OS with its own set of users.) For users and groups not defined in smbpasswd (or maybe it's for all except for file owner matching the logged in user), the SIDs do show up in the S-1-5-22- Unix_User+/Unix_Group+ form. I'll leave it at that; hopefully more capable hands can help you choose how to then deal with these SIDs. -- 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
