I want to be sure it is not a standard behaviour.... Can anybody with xp home edition create a user, throw it out of the group users (all from windows) and then do a mkpassword and mkgroup login (via ssh preferably) as that user and give the command groups. Is it according to cygwin still in the group users ? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
