Error: init_cygheap""etc_changed: Can't open /etc for checking, Win32 error 50

2002-02-26 Thread Paul McFerrin 

Folks:

I checked the archives for this error and I've seen several references
to this error message starting back in Nov of 2001.  However I've seen
no explanations, solutions, fixes, nor work arounds.

Basically what I have is cynwin DLL 1.3.6 installation on a Win 98SE
machine serving as a file server for other clients.  On the NT4 client,
everytime the cygwin1.dll gets loaded, it generates the error message:

   0 [main] ksh init_cygheap""etc_changed: Can't open /etc for checking,
Win32

it is not only ksh but I've seen it on the mount command when trying to
initially setup the environment on the NT machine.  Other than the error
message, things appear to work OKAY.  I do NOT get this error message on
the Win 98 SE machine.  The /etc directory is present and I can see
files in it!  There has NEVER been a cygwin installation done on the NT
machine.  Here is some relavent information:

$ ls -ld /etc

Try installing via setup.exe as your mount table is incomplete.

Re: Error: init_cygheap""etc_changed: Can't open /etc for checking, Win32 error 50

2002-02-27 Thread Paul McFerrin 

I really don't want a physical instance of cygwin on this machine.  If
something is wrong with the mount table, why doesn't the mount command
fix it?  I initially created the mounts via:

- started DOS shell
C> M:
M> cd \cygwin\bin
M> mount -s -b M:\cygwin /

I guess I can just do a base install and then remove the files.
