The problem here is that it's impossible to generate access permissions for the pty with those weird accounts. I like it how Microsoft screws up otherwise working software with this strange domain handling. To fix this we have to be able to come up with a working user and group account for these cases. For that I need at least output from `whoami /all'. I wonder why supposedly nobody tried that after /fqdn didn't work. This may be fixable by somebody with such an account and willing to hack on the Cygwin function pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows(). There's already some code for the so-called "Windows accounts" which seem to work in a similar fashion (albeit in this case the user has a local account SID). Alternatively I need at least a guinea pig with such an account, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
