One big vote for the '/etc/nsswitch.conf' idea. I think the truth of the matter is that enterprise environments are way too dynamic (and inconsistent) to attempt to satisfy the majority of configurations with any particular default ordering assumption.
Another user brought up a good point about desire for Cygwin to operate in 'read-only' mode -- something that I'd also really love to see addressed. The need for /tmp and /var/log to be 'writable' results in some problems in a high-security environments. This became especially noticeable with Cygwin 64-bit because Windows does not automatically redirect write attempts to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore. Anyhow, that's probably left to a different conversation for a different day... -- 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
