I'm running the latest version of everything. Yeah, I got caught off-guard by this at first as well. Usually, if the config file in /etc doesn't exist, there is a postinstall script that copies the default version in /etc/defaults/etc/ into /etc. There is also a mechanism for removing the config file on update if it's identical to the default config file. Apparently, cygserver isn't using this mechanism. I've no idea how /etc/cygserver.conf gets created. However, copying /etc/defaults/etc/cygserver.conf to /etc/cygserver.conf should get you the latest version. Corinna, how is cygserver.conf end up in /etc? Could we add a postinstall (and preremove) script for the cygwin package that would take care of copying/replacing /etc/cygserver.conf?
