Someone found that when you use the --login parameter on bash then it runs /etc/profile. It in effect uses find on /etc/profile.d folder to find startup scripts. Find will trigger it.
Downgrading findutils specifically to 4.1.7-4 fixes startup issues. ~ Find will not access the floppy drive when you execute "find - --version" but 4.2.10-5 will. Hmmm.... I am suspecting a bug although others say not. I would like to know though what exactly changed between 4.1.7 and 4.2.10 of findutils to cause this. Cygwin in itself doesn't have to be downgraded so cygwin api calls are fine (i hope). If anyone has find 4.2.10 installed on any linux or unix distro then post back here if it access the floppy drive. I am highly suspicious of the line that reads "static void init_mounted_dev_list(void);" though and similar lines that also have the word mounted. I can't really say for sure since there are alot of changes in find.c alone. Mount still access the floppy drive but it may just be a check to see if a disk is there. 1.5.11 had that as well. Don't know how far it goes and I think it is probably normal. Please note that there are NO references to the a drive in the windows registry save for the device keys. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32)
