Say I have an account with username "joeuser" on the win2k machine where I installed the tools. This "joeuser" user has administrator priviledges on that machine. When I run the 'id' command after starting the tools(bash) when logged into the win2k machine as "joeuser", the output indicates that my username is "administrator", with a uid of 500. Is there any way to have my username in Cygwin match my username from the win2k environment? This would be really handy for using ssh. thanks, josh -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
