Hi, In last cygwin beta:
$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.2 VFPT-ITSECVMT 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-09-11 01:25 i686 Cygwin If I do (obviously found by mistake): $ mkpasswd -n 0 mkpasswd: unknown option -- n Try '̨ a --help' for more information. Note the rubish after "Try". Or, if I do: $ mkgroup -S-- <ª a: Only one character allowed as domain\user separator character. Rubbish. But when I do: $ mkgroup -n 0 mkgroup: unknown option -- n Try 'mkgroup --help' for more information. ...OK! The difference is in the 'default' clause of the select statement in the getopt output handling in main(). In mkgroup.c, argv[0] is used; in mkpasswd.c, it's __progname. Several other places with error conditions are using __progname, and the problem is identical. another example: $ mkpasswd -p idiot/path ̨ a: 'idiot/path' is not a fully qualified path. So, I currently don't know WHY __progname it's apparently non-initialized. If it is obvious for you, I'll stop right here. If you'd like that I dig more deeper, please say so! -- ___________ Julio Costa -- 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
