yes, but is it really related to what I'm talking about? Nothing is changing this local policy in real-time is it? Also, this problem only occurs with the very latest cygwin dll from setup, the version from about 2 weeks ago works perfectly fine so it smells like a newly introduced bug of some kind. Cygwin runs... for *some time* then when a cron job runs in the background on my particular domain user everything stops working with the above errors. (the cron job runs merrily along though every hour) I also have encountered another "symptom" where WinXP won't log off or shutdown properly after the cron job has run "a no. of times" (8 or 9). I haven't installed any other software or performed Windows Update since updating Cygwin and I've never had any problems logging off or shutting down ever before, so the finger points at the current problem child. I select Logoff or Shutdown, the machine just sits there doing nothing, the explorer interface is still active and I can open up explorer windows (I can't *run* anything because it is "shutting down") and Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't bring up the Task Manager. Not a great situation. (I will try the solution in the above message, but it smells like something more serious to me) -- 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/
