grep doesn't work w/ latest cygwin

I've downloaded the latest cygwin for the first time yesterday (1/20/04). Downloaded from cygwin.com, got the setup.exe, and ran it. My aim was to use postgres. initdb calls grep, and it fails missing the dll "cygpcre.dll". initdb additionally fails missing the dll "cygcrypt-0.dll". I tried rei

Re: problem with mkgroup -d DOMAIN

Sorry, I forgot to ask: what are the default permissions and user/group combinations after cygwin install? I have administrator/mkpasswd with access code 750 over the entire cygwin tree. Should I simply change the group to somethin like 'Users'? Stefan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin

Re: problem with mkgroup -d DOMAIN

Dear Corinna, although I won't get the group information, it must be possible to create one manually. What is the typical syntax of the group info returned by mkgroup -d DOMAIN? I could try adding that stuff since I cannot persuade our domain controller to answer correctly. Setting up a new Samba

Good morning, How about when you start bash from a command prompt (i.e., open an "MS DOS prompt" window, "cd c:\cygwin\bin", and ".\bash.exe --login -i") as a non-administrative user? What if you omit "--login"? when I enter ".\bash.exe --login -i" (with or without --login) I get *** CreateFil
