In that case, you really have three options left: 1) Google for it, and hope you can find an unofficial port to cygwin that someone has done. 2) Get the source code and try to port it yourself - an awful lot of well written open source will just build under cygwin OOTB. 3) Find an alternative with similar functionality [ Ok, four options: 4) Do without! ] I suspect option 3) is going to be the answer in your case, I'm afraid, because if I'm guessing rightly from the name 'shadow-utils', this is something for manipulating shadowed passwords, which isn't the system by which either cygwin or windows works. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
