Dear all, After the last restart (and maybe also after an update of Cygwin last week), the first start of bash takes hideously long (about 2 minutes). The same happens to programs like latexmk:
$ time latexmk --help Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 10 January 2015, version: 4.42. [... more output ...] Report bugs etc to John Collins <jcc8 at psu.edu>. real 1m39.914s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.015s I did an strace on latexmk and it seems that something is querying the Active Directory of my computers domain through the VPN: 1047703 1224686 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX> 513639 1738325 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > 525120 2263445 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > 522731 2786176 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > 518198 3304374 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX > [I replaced the true group/account names for privacy reasons.] Each query takes a little while and there are lots of them. Some even take longer than a second. This continues for quite a while until latexmk finally prints its help message. I have found the queried the log of cygcheck. How can I convince Cygwin (or one of its components) that this is bad idea and to avoid it? Thanks in advance for your help. Kind regards, -michael Dr.-Ing.
