I ran across an interesting "feature" of remote access today. I was ssh'ed in to my cygwin computer, under my normal windows/cygwin account name, and tried to run 'patch':
$ patch -p1 -R --dry-run < ../some-patch.patch patch: **** Can't create file /c/Users/CYG_SE~1/AppData/Local/Temp/poFOD7WH : Not a directory $ echo $TMP /c/Users/CYG_SE~1/AppData/Local/Temp $ echo $TEMP /c/Users/CYG_SE~1/AppData/Local/Temp $ echo $TMPDIR Obviously, my regular user doesn't have access to cyg_server's AppData directory. This is easily fixed, of course, by setting $TMP=/tmp (or /c/Users/<me>/AppData/Local/Temp, if you like). The question is, should this be something that is done by default in /etc/profile (e.g. part of the base-files package)? -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
