Re: cygwin through runas


Saber,

First off, is the line quoted below actually in /etc/passwd, or did you
type it in?  If you did, it looks like you made a typo in the SID (146882
instead of 156882).

Secondly, Cygwin UIDs are 16 bit, so it cannot handle UIDs larger than
65535.  Change your UID (the third ":"-separated field in the line you
quoted above) to something less than 65535 (25810 should work).

Thirdly (and this is a guess), you might have to play with the "smbntsec"
setting, or the ClearCase permissions on those shares.  There were also
some messages about ClearCase not working with Cygwin (although not
recently).  A google search on "MVFS filesystem"  should turn up some
matches.
