Well, the above lines together look like a problem to me. I don't know why your uid would not match the username in /etc/passwd, which is contrary to how I understand it working, but it may just be over my head.

I may be wrong (since I've had a cygwin installation a long time and created them myself), but I don't think so. I'm afraid I'm about to leave for the weekend, but hopefully someone else on the list can pick this up. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
