glob/noglob and backslashes on cmdline

In the following ./t is a program which simply echoes the command line arguments if there are any, or calls itself via CreateProcess() and the cmdline given. When 'noglob' is set, things work as expected: in the course of "sh -c", two backslashes are collapsed into ONE: $ CYGWIN=noglob ./t

environment variables derived from TMPDIR

In a SHELL script I prepare a temp file to pass to some non-cygwin program: # TMPDIR is set to c:/temp outside of cygwin # which translates to /cygdrive/c/temp inside cygwin # prepare input TMPFILE=$TMPDIR/foo.$$ cat > "$TMPFILE" <<\EOF some stuff EOF # call program

* Corinna Vinschen | I've updated the version of OpenSSH to 3.5p1-1. A short remark on the ssh-host-config script: - I upgraded to 3.4p1 recently and `it' did not work: the logfile complained about `wrong mode or owner of /var/empty'. - I then manually chown/chmod'ed the directory to system.syst
