I have cygwin (DLL version: 1.3.11, DLL epoch: 19, Snapshot date: 20020504-18:26:37) installed on a FAT32 (win98) partition, originally installed under win98. I also installed XP Pro on another partition (NTFS).
To avoid installing cygwin on XP, I created HKLM entries, so I can use cygwin tools from their FAT partition. Also added several lines to /etc/profile to check for runnig environment (win98 or XP) and to use appropriate /etc/passwd an /etc/group files. The problem: I couldn't set 'ntea' to work properly in this configuration. 'ntsec' is ok, on XP's NTFS, but no chown & co. on FAT32. Question: Is this because I run cygwin tools from FAT32, or is there any other configuration issue I didn't figure?
