And here is a report of the message. Let's see if that works OK now
the attachment is in the archive :
ls on my Windows XP box recently stopped working. Running an update
from the latest setup.exe hasn't helped.
your cygwin dll is 1.7.7 while last one is 1.7.9,
so your update did not work.
If I type just 'ls', not output. Same for 'ls bin' when I know that
folder has stuff in. 'ls bin[tab][tab]' shows the files as expected:
tchiverton@EV34:~$ ls
so you are in your own home directory, that was not clear from
your description.
How are you running the shell and which is ?
tchiverton@EV34:~$ ls bin
tchiverton@EV34:~$ ls bin/
> findEmptySvnDirs.sh sync-mp3.sh
> tchiverton@EV34:~$ ls bin/
what is the output of "ls -la ." ?
Attached is cygcheck output run from a bash prompt, it moaned a little when run:
tchiverton@EV34:~$ cygcheck -s -v -r> /cygdrive/c/cygcheck.txt
garbled output from 'id' command - no uid= found
that is likely the issue.
On the cygcheck output, after the PATH and before
SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\system32
WinDir: C:\WINDOWS
you should have something like
Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe
UID: 1008(marco) GID: 513(None)
513(None) 0(root) 544(Administrators) 545(Users)
Have you problems or messed with the files:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group

Marco
