Does changing /etc/nsswitch.conf help? If the file doesn't exist, what if you create it and then set the passwd and grouip entries to passwd: files group: files Then start another mintty via the desktop shortcut and see if it starts faster. If that's the problem, you seem to have a slow or unusable connection to your DC. Unfortunately you stripped almost all usable information from your cygcheck output, like environment variables, etc. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
