Actually, my inquiry was to Soren w.r.t. his comment about the desire to have dircolors output the Cygwin terminal information as well. You chopped that part out of the text you quoted below so it makes it look like I was responding to your issue specifically. I agree with you that you've found the solution to your problem. Sorry if my previous response wasn't clear.

Care to submit one? None needed. The problem was my unobservant eye, and the fact that all of my files were suddenly executables, which means they were all red. It was the new DLL and ntsec issue. After some thrashing around for a while (the ntsec page in the Users Guide will hurt your brain :), I finally got everything working. Or, if you don't want your brain to hurt, you can just set CYGWIN to 'nontsec'. :) /Jelks -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
