A better way to handle issues like this would be: you provide a patch to handle the issue and the maintainer of the package may then decide to incorporate your patch.

Re: Native symlinks and setup.exe
Hello Gene, in my opinion, it is not a setup.exe or tar problem, but I think packages should not include symlinks at all. All can be created postinstallation by the postinstall script, inside Cygwin and the users environment it is running on. Obviously, a political discussion is required, to decide whether it is ok, as is, or if a change in package logic would have benefits.

Cygwin honors umask. Your umask is probably 0022. Sorry Corinna, I didn't mean that Cygwin is setting the permissions wrong; my thought was, that UoW maybe requires (X) to access a file, because this is the bit missing from these files, and of course this is most probably a bug in UoW, if adding (X) is the solution to access Cygwin created files from UoW. ;) Gerrit -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Curious if the X byte is required or the F, both would be strange though. Does the result changes iof you add X for everyone and/or (F) instead of (R) for Karlson? There are some remarkable things besides this one, IIRC someone mentioned in the other thread, that there is no UoW AD integration, so how does UoW creates a file with permissions set for Karlson?

Hello Ty, yes, I have setup a new Enterprise Manager 13c on Windows recently, using the current Cygwin distribution. Deploying agents works as documented, no matter which OS platform it is. With the new openssh version there is one minor addition to what is documented at oracle.com: - the SSH privilege separation feature So either you need to disable this in sshd_config, or you add sshd as user like below: - Either set in sshd_config - UsePrivilegeSeparation no - or - oracle@hostname ~ $ echo sshd:x:74:74:Privilege-separated-SSH:/var/empty/sshd:/sbin/nologin >> /etc/passwd oracle@hostname ~ $echo sshd:*:27:>> /etc/group Restart the servcie. Other than this, it is working as documented there, be sure to follow the documentation *exactly* as usual with Oracle products, also you may open a SR at MOS and ask them why they do not update their documentation, ecause Cygwin 1.7 is not widely available anymore and ask them to verify, that it is possible to also use the latest stable release of Cygwin, so maybe there will be at least a new note added to the Knowledge base over there at MOS.

Don't I get /etc/profile with a fresh installation?
Hello All, I have some business to do with Cygwin, again. Yeah! I have a fresh installation now, but found, there is no /etc/profile, no PATH set besides the Windows inherited PATH, so of course I can not use the shell, e.g. -bash-4.3$ which ls -bash: which: command not found -bash-4.3$ Also after first invocation of the Shell, there is no HOME directory created, no files in the Windows Users directory etc. Back then there was some postinstallation script which was creating basic files like /etc/profile and other basic things were created with the first login, like /home/ directory, including basic files there. Regards, I think this was working better years ago back in the old days of Cygwin B20, err... 1.5 or 1.7.
