Re: Can not Contact Domain Controller

Everytime I open the Cygwin Console I get the
following notifications:

Your group is currently "mkpasswd".  This indicates
that
the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should
be rebuilt.
See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for
example, run
mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd
mkgroup  -l [-d] > /etc/group
Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.




$ mkpasswd -u "mblanco" -d "bgchemical.com" >
/etc/passwd
mkpasswd (731): [2453] Could not find domain
controller for this domain.

I can never contact my domain controller, which is on
the same machine as the cygwin.


Is bgchemical.com really your windows domain name? Test with netdiag /test:member
Maybe your computer isn't part of a domain and your have a standalone server, in that case you only have local accounts and should not use -d.
