I took a look at the running services and it does seem to be any Cygwin service running (and anyhow, I don't remember starting one). Anyway, I did reboot, and then re-ran setup.exe, but it got stuck running the postinstall/passwd-grp.sh script. I attach setup.log.postinstallXa03940 which contains some errors that seem related to this. -Eugen > > > -- > Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com > RFK Partners, Inc.
