Was it deliberate that 1.3.14-1 is categorized "Experimental?" Is it deemed
in need of more widespread testing before graduating to "Current" status?

Also, you might want to group the Winnt/Win2k/xp tests
at the top of the batch file, and then throw away the

fall through to that code if the Winnt/Win2k/xp tests

Try this:
1. manually modify the /etc/passwd file
mkpasswd -du mywindowslogin >> /etc/passwd
Where mywindowslogin is the name of the account that you log into windows with.
2. set CYGWIN=nontsec

I have a full install (done via the setup installer) of cygwin, done
yesterday (October 24, 2002), on my Win2k machine at work. I have
installed, additionally, the KDE 2 and Windowmaker packages.
Whenever I, or any program/script for that matter, try executing a chmod

Hi,
i am trying to compile a dll for a windows application. I have read a lot
about it (for example)
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/
i have found an easy example on this site (hello-1.0.tar.gz). But the
makefile is for my skills in makefiles "unreadable". Is there a more easy

The problem with using the $USERPROFILE is all off these "Special Folders"
can be changed to just about anything. For example, I change my "My
Documents" folder to a network drive, but I leave most other items local. A
better way to resolve the location of these folders is to look in the
registry.
Well folks, thanks for your help and sorry about the
bother. I was able to identify the bugs and fix them
(the ones I know about) In short, SaveMyModem now
works properly. This is good.
If anyone would care to look, I would sure appreciate
any reviews, comments, bug reports, and preferrably

I believe gdb may have problems with spaces in the path to the
filename. Try moving to /tmp or editing /etc/passwd to remove the
space from your /home directory.

But bash in compatibility mode isn't true Bourne shell. For

cross-posted) so we should end it very soon or take it off-list, if
necessary.

still shows Bad owner or mode for /var/empty then i'm stumpped. have a seach
through the archives, maybe check the owner and mode of your hostkeys, (but
i think that gives its own error messages if they are incorrect.)
