- Subject: group IDs
I am new to the list - apologies if this has
all been sorted out before, but I couldn't find the
solution.
Files I create from within Cygwin (e.g. by touch or
the output of gcc) have numerical group ID 10545,
while those created in Windows applications (e.g. Thunderbird,
Notetab) get group ID 4294967295. 'mkgroup' gives
'Users' the ID of 545.
This is confusing me, and giving me problems
accessing my own file s- how do I get all these IDs to agree?
I am running XP professional, version 2002, sp2
I downloaded Cygwin on 23 June 2005.
