Hi all!
Here's the full story:
Either a bad sector or Direct X upgrade destroyed the Administrator
registry. After a lot of fiddeling, decided to create another user, called
Admin. Before that, I upgraded my cygwin installation from 1.1.6 to 1.1.8:
admin@SERVER ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-4.0 SERVER 1.1.8(0.34/3/2) 2001-01-31 10:08 i686 unknown
been doing a lot of reconfiguring, but I just can't get ntsec to work anymore:
admin@SERVER ~
$ cat <<EOF >./test
> testfile
> EOF
admin@SERVER ~
$ chmod 666 test
admin@SERVER ~
$ ls -la test
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin None 9 Apr 7 15:37 test
admin@SERVER ~
$ chown admin.Administrators test
admin@SERVER ~
$ ls -la test
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin None 9 Apr 7 15:37 test
admin@SERVER ~
$ cat /cygwin.bat
@echo off
F:
chdir \cygwin\bin
set CYGWIN=noenvcache export ntsec
bash --login -i
On the NTSecurity level, I changed everything under Cygwin, to have 'admin'
full control. The password file, doesn't contain the original Administrator
anymore, and Admin is setup as:
admin@SERVER ~
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep ^Admin
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Admin::1002:513:,S-1-5-21-1584879045-174592816-227697207-1002:/home/admin:/bin/b
ash
There are no domains. The 'Server' runs NT Workstation 4.0SP6a.
I'm currently running under the Admin user.
Funny thing is, that login (as seen in ftp and ssh) now does work
correctly, only - other users cannot upload anything, since the default
mode of 755 for directories applies.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Melvyn Sopacua
