I've noticed an odd behavior from mkpasswd (as run from the postinstall script passwd-grp.sh) when installing Cygwin.
I've been testing the command-line options from the CVS head, so I've done this a couple of times. For these tests, I'm logged in and installing as a domain user. In a clean install, the postinstall script passwd-grp.sh runs the command: /bin/mkpasswd -l -c > /etc/passwd This generates a password file that an entry that looks like: sam.robb:...:/cygdrive/c:/bin/bash Note the home directory is '/cygdrive/c'. The home directories for the local accounts are as expected, ex. '/home/administrator', etc. If I run "/bin/mkpasswd -l -c -p /home" from the command line, I get an entry with the expected home dir set: sam.robb:...:/home/sam.robb:/bin/bash Is there any reason why passwd-grp.sh shouldn't or couldn't be modified to specify the '-p /home' option? -Samrobb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
