The following page partially addresses this:
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html
It says that:
-------------------------- If another user (or a Windows group, treated as a user) is not present in /etc/passwd, the uid of that user will have a special value of -1 (which would be shown by ls as 65535). The user name shown in this case will be '????????'. --------------------------
I would like to modify the /etc/passwd file so that it shows me as the owner of these files instead of '????????'. That page shows how /etc/passwd is used to create a mapping between Windows Security SIDs and Cygwin uids.
How do I find/list the Windows SIDs of these files so that I can create the proper mapping in /etc/passwd?
$ mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd $ ls -l <file>
and see who owns it?
mkpasswd -d would return all of the domain users (we have thousands). However, I know that these files are not owned by anyone else. The files in question are coming from a samba share (mapped network drive) served from a Linux system.
