Hi,
I have just installed the latest full version cygwin on winxp. The root directory is "c:\cygwin\"
Now whenever I start cygwin I get this,
Your group is currently "mkpasswd". This indicates that the /etc/passwd (and possibly /etc/group) files should be rebuilt. See the man pages for mkpasswd and mkgroup then, for example, run mkpasswd -l [-d] > /etc/passwd mkgroup -l [-d] > /etc/group Note that the -d switch is necessary for domain users.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ pwd /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/long
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
How do I set the HOME path in cygwin to "c:\cygwin\home\username\", please provide a detailed explanation as I am new to this. And what is the mkpasswd about?
Please email your reply to me in-addition to the mailing list.
Thanks for any help.
