Hi All,
I have a situation where the uid changes to cyg_server unexpectedly when
changing PATH:
$ ( id; PATH=/cygdrive/c/devkit/msys/1.0.11/bin:/usr/bin:; id )
UID=1001(pleezy) GID=513(None)
groepen=513(None),544(Administrators),545(Gebruikers),1000(HomeUsers)
uid=500(cyg_server) gid=544(Administrators) groups=544(Administrators)
The uid 500 is in itself strange, as it does not seem to belong to
cyg_server
The devkit directory looks normal:
$ ls -l /cygdrive/c/devkit/msys/1.0.11/bin
totaal 9100
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pleezy None 105472 25 mrt 2008 a2p.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pleezy None 162 26 aug 2008 awk
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pleezy None 16896 26 aug 2008 basename.exe
. . .
It is causing tremendous problems in file access.
Any ideas?
Yes. You've changed the tool you're using when you changed your path.
Try '( id; PATH=/cygdrive/c/devkit/msys/1.0.11/bin:/usr/bin:;
/cygdrive/c/cygiwn/bin/id)'.
You are right, of course.
Now the question is how to use the devkit properly.
Thanks,
Bartels
