Hi,
I've installed cygwin V1.7.5 within Windows7 SP1.
Curiously a file seems to have two different owners. Depends on the account
which list the file.
If I run a cmd as a normal user and list file:
C:\>ls -lh /
drwxrwx---+ 1 ???????? Administrators 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
C:\>ls -lhn /
drwxrwx---+ 1 4294967295 544 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
If I run a cmd as administrator and list file:
C:\>ls -lh /
drwxrwx---+ 1 Backup Administrators 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
C:\>ls -lhn /
drwxrwx---+ 1 1033 544 16K 2011-04-22 10:46 bin
I haven't any problem because of this behaviour but I want understand what
happens their.
Thanks for any hint
Matthias
