I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
I have XP Professional (5.1.2600 SP2) updated with the latest software from Windows update. cygwin was installed with setup.exe within the last week. Here is a simple way to reproduce the problem: $ xauth -v -f authfile generate :0 . untrusted timeout 1200 xauth: creating new authority file authfile Using authority file authfile authorization id is 66 Writing authority file authfile xauth: unable to link authority file authfile, use authfile-n I assume it is trying to "link authfile-n authfile". Manually this works fine and I can also "unlink authfile-n". What is a likely reason for the failure of "link authfile-n authfile" and is there a way to fix this? Thank you very much.
