Cygwin this indicates that the/etc/passwd (and possibly/etc/group) files shocould be rebuilt Problem Solution

My cygwin reports:

Your group is currently "mkpasswd ". this indicates that <br/> the/etc/passwd (and possibly/etc/group) files shoshould be rebuilt. <br/> see the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run <br/> mkpasswd-L [-D]>/etc/passwd <br/> mkgroup-L [-D]>/etc/group <br/> note that -D switch is necessary for domain users. <br/> Bash: build_ajsc_emulator.sh: Command not found

 

Cause:

The original Windows user name is different from the newly installed user name.

 

Solution:

 

1. Run as prompted

$ Mkpasswd-L>/etc/passwd

$ Mkgroup-L>/etc/group

Run cygwin. bat again.

 

2. You can also directly modify/etc/passwd to change the original system username to the current username.
