Sorry I was not able to respond to helpful replies on this list due to the lack of "CC me on reply"-age. Luckily, I had the presence of the mind to check cygwin.com/ml/cygwin :) Anyway, some sed work got me this conclusive list of missing functions: assign(wchar_t*, unsigned, wchar_t) compare(wch

Off Topic!! - Microsoft critic dismissed by @Stake -

I realize that this is completely off topic but could someone here offer Mr. Dan Geer a job? The implication of criticizing Microsoft's security and being fired as a result does have -naturally- a chilling effect on any public assessment of Microsoft's products. Nothing would help the IT public mor

perl-5.8.1 debugging version available

Hallo, Now after perl-5.8.1 was finally released, I've made a debugging version available at first. This will not be distributed via the Cygwin mirrors and is not installable via setup.exe. But you can fetch it from the CPAN mirror which is nearest to you: $CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/CHECKSU

smbntsec broken for drives shared as different user

There are many reasons in Windows why you need to map a shared drive onto your system by connecting to it with an explicit username and password, different from the current logged in user. The most important reason is that you are logged into a desktop as a local (non-domain) user and want to acce

Ken, Adding a "." to the end of your PATH and then running "cygcheck -svr" *from the directory where the problem occurs* would have shown that extra cygwin1.dll (and its version) in the output. As a general advice (and I guess we might want to add this to the problem reporting page), if there's a

Thx Corinna That explains it better for me - I was a little confused by the relationship between windows shortcuts and *nix symlinks. If I may ask another question regarding setfacl. I would like to use setfacl on all subdirs but unlike chmod it doesn't have a recursive option (unless I missed it
