Greetings, All! Been doing some housekeeping in my Cygwin installation at work, and wanted to change the owner of the files to something other than myself. TrustedInstaller seemed like a good neutral target, but it took me a little while to find out it is
1. …named "NT SERVICE+TrustedInstaller" actually (which is predictable somewhat); $ getent passwd | grep -i trust NT SERVICE+TrustedInstaller:*:328384:328384:U-NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller,S-1-5-80-956008885-3418522649-1831038044-1853292631-2271478464:/:/sbin/nologin 2. …can not be accessed by any other name (unlike "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"); $ getent passwd System system:*:18:18:U-NT AUTHORITY\system,S-1-5-18:/home/system:/bin/bash $ getent passwd 18 система:*:18:18:U-NT AUTHORITY\система,S-1-5-18:/home/система:/bin/bash 3. …can not be accessed by ID! Which is rather surprising. $ getent passwd 328384 [2] <- user not found Is this some special case of some kind of Windows' kinks? -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, July 6, 2022 13:22:14 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
