Is nobody using XP home edition in combination with cygwin?
Can anybody with xp home edition create a user, throw it out of the group users
So first Creat a user in Windows just with the graphical user accounts
manager from the control panel in windows.
Then throw it out of the group users.
you can do this in a windows cmd box with.
net localgroup users USERNAME /DEL
And after that do a mkpassword and mkgroup in cygwin
mkuser -l > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -u -l > /etc/group
login (via ssh preferably) as that user and give the command
$groups
Is it according to cygwin still in the group users ?
If so is this a behaviour of XP home edition?
Does this allso happen in XP professional?
