Thanks.
It works for me, but I'd like Jari to confirm. I was able to test it
because there are some files on my system that are owned by the
TrustedInstaller virtual user. Cygwin currently doesn't create
/etc/passwd and /etc/group entries for TrustedInstaller, so its files
show up with UID and GID equal to -1.
By the way, the check_executable function calls euidaccess in the same
way as check_writable, but I don't think I want to change that one to be
more permissive unless there's a good reason to do so. It seems to be
used mainly to check for standard programs, which I hope aren't going to
be found on a network share configured in such a way that the UID/GID
can't be determined.
Thanks, as always, for being so helpful.
Ken
