mkgroup -l -c > /etc/group

The problem now is that I cannot access shared libraries for NS2 simulator in different users settings how can i solve this I need different ns versions on different users

Nothing will work again and your children will cry. If you arent Domain user and use Cygwin only localy
the right way is:

mkpasswd -l -p /home/ -c > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l -c > /etc/group

use the -p option otherwise you will find your home
in the deep stack of shit within windows. Nothing will
work again and your children will cry.

Fehler: copy paste bei mkgroup es muß natürlich
/etc/group heißen nicht /etc/passwd

Es handelt sich also um ungetesteter code. Bitte nicht
benutzen.
