I'm having two problems with cygwin-1.7.2-1: * regtool get returns "Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified." * cyglsa appears to break by system
I'm using Windows XP SP3. I upgraded to cygwin-1.7.2-1 and then ran cyglsa-config, which failed because of this problem: % regtool get '/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa/Authentication Packages' Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified. The result was the Authentication Packages value was set just to "c:\cygwin\bin\cyglsa\cyglsa.dll". I fixed this in regedit so the value was "msv1_0 c:\cygwin\bin\cyglsa\cyglsa.dll" and then rebooted. This is when the fun began. After reboot, the system completely misbehaved. It took a long time to get to the login prompt. Login was very slow. Sound was disabled. Network drives were not connected. The task bar never appeared. I could not view entries in the Event Viewer. Fortunately, I was able to Windows-R to run regedit and remove cyglsa from Authentication Packages. My system was fine after reboot. -- David Rothenberger ---- daver...@acm.org "The only way for a reporter to look at a politician is down." -- H. L.
