Hi,
I have just upgraded to the most recent version (1.3.19) of the cygwin dll, and
I have small, weird problem. The bash prompt no longer shows the username
correctly - see examples below. I am running cygwin from a Win2000 machine,
with service pack 3 installed.
============================================
m>ao@hafnasandur ~
$ id -un
james
============================================
With a little experimenting, this appears to be a problem with the latest
version of the cygwin dll, when run without (MS) administrative rights. When
cygwin is run from an account with admin rights, there is no problem
============================================
administrator@hafnasandur ~
$ id -un
administrator
============================================
And when I go back to version 1.3.18, I also have no problem
============================================
james@hafnasandur ~
$ id -un
james
============================================
[Of course, there could be some subtle difference between the 2 accounts other
than just the admin rights ...]
Googling back through the cygwin mailing list showed a similar problem reported
on the 25th of January (see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg01503.html )
which came about after another application had altered the windows $PATH
variable. This is not the case here - I have not changed anything apart from
the version of cygwin (I updated the cygwin gdb at the same time, but that
shouldnt affect things). I have made no changes from the defaults for either
/etc/profile or /etc/passwd as suggested in the responses to the message above.
Now, whilst this doesnt affect my use of cygwin - everything still runs/works as
expected - but it would be nice to see my username displayed in the prompt!
Any ideas? I've attached a copy of the output from cygcheck -s -v -r for the
interested/bored
Thanks in advance,
James.
James Begley
