Hi,
I've just reinstalled Cygwin on W2K SP4 over the Internet using Setup.exe version 2.427 (cygcheck attached). I ran Setup from a Windows Administrator account. The system itself is not a domain member; it's simply a workgroup member on a home-based LAN.
Prior to logging in I set the system-wide environment variable CYGWIN=server in Windows. When I did log in I did so with the Bash shell from the default shortcut. One of the first things I did was create my /etc/group and /etc/passwd files with these commands:
$ mkgroup -l -u > /etc/group $ mkpasswd -l -g > /etc/passwd
I then ran the 'cygserver-config' script OOTB and selected to install it as a service. This step seemed successful as the Windows Event Viewer lists it as 'CYGWIN cygserver' and describes it as 'Cygwin shared memory manager'. This description, however, is suspiciously like the one I concocted for cygserver during my previous installation of Cygwin, even though I deleted all temp folders and the Cygnus Solutions keys from the registry before reinstalling. Is it the default description, or did Cygwin not get completely uninstalled? FWIW, I was unable to get the cygserver (or postgresql) running as a service under that previous installation, hence the reinstall attempt.
The Windows Event Viewer console Application Log reports that cygserver starts and is awaiting requests, but a split second later the Service Control Manager reports in the System Log that cygserver terminates unexpectedly. The /var/log/cygserver.log file is empty, so I'm clueless as to what might have caused this problem. I can only guess that file permissions are not what they should be.
If someone could suggest what I might try to get this working, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
