Hi,
As some may recall from a previous thread of mine, i turned on
case-sensitivity in Windows + cygwin, as per:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive
I encountered two issues, for which i have provided the attached patches:
1. I found that there were no links to hosts, network, etc.. in /etc.
Looking through the log files and the base-files-mketc.sh script that is
meant to create them, I found that the reason that these were not
created was related to case-sensitivity against the system32 directory.
In Windows 7 and Vista at least, this directory name is capitalised to
System32. This means that the directory existence test fails on case
sensitivity. The attached patch corrects this.
2. I also found that the ssh-host-config script will have a non-fatal
error when it tries to create a temporary mount to the drivers/etc
subdirectory under System32 because of the same case-sensitivity issues.
The attached patch also corrects this using the same utilisation of
cygpath -S to get the System32 path.
Hope that helps,
Shaddy
