Keeping /etc/{group,passwd} intentionally out of date?

2009-03-24 Thread Darren Pilgrim
We have cygwin installed in a lab with a large number of domain groups and users. Keeping the /etc/group and /etc/passwd files up to date is impractical due to the rate of account turn-over. Cygwin Bash Shell has been giving us the error messages produced from /etc/profile nagging us to run m

Re: Cygwin acts weird to / in a chroot

2009-03-24 Thread Dick
I did some grepping through the Cygwin sources and found some FIXMEs about chroot. It seems indeed to be implemented as a very dirty hack. I'm still not sure if it's caused by a wrong mount. I hope to find some time to create a patch, it seems interesting :-) gr Dick -- Unsubscribe info:
