rintable Many thanks, TW, for your hint. I have "solved" the problem, but I do not understand why it works! I took time to test it for a few days to make sure that things were ok. Hence the slow response. If I had only also included my prompt in the original email, I think that you would

I recently upgraded to 1.5.25 and I now find that whenever we put the machine on "Standy" mode, or try to switch users, the machine hesitates for a very long time (up to 90 sec), while the previous 1.4.x did not. We are running Windows XP SP3. I read that 1.5.25 slows logoff in some special arch

Cdrtools in Cygwin

I have been using Cdrtools under Cygwin for burning CDs for a couple of years now. The 'cdrecord' came from the precompiled Win32 binaries at http://smithii.com/cdrtools. (The URL may be defunct now, but a Google search brings up a cached version of the page!) The 'cdrecord' version I have is 2.

File permissions and ownership changes between Unix and Cygwin

2005-12-17 Thread surendar jeyadev
I have been successful in using 'mkisofs' and 'cdrecord' (from Joerg Schilling)to burn CDs using Cygwin. One thing that is strange is the change in file permissions and ownership. I used 'chown' to (recursively) change the entire filesystem to be burned onto the CD so that the owner was 'SYSTEM'

First of all, many thanks to all you who have pitched in to help me out. I followed Rene's advice and added 'hostname.exe' to the NIS 'allowed' list. I found that things moved along, but got stuck at 'uname'(should have expected that to happen!). So I added 'uname.exe' to NIS's list. And, lo and b
