Hello, I hope this is not a FAQ. But really, I could not find the answer in it, or maybe, I did not understand?
I just re-installed cygwin on my computer. Before that, I did a complete un-installation (stopped and removed services, removed cygwin directory, removed entries in the registry, reboot). Then ran setup.exe as an unpriviledge user (it asked me if I wanted to switch to a prividege user, what I did before installation: computer's Administrator). I did an all default installation. Added a HOME environment in windows for me -> c:\cygwin\home\matt Ran cygwin.bat as Administrator. mkpassword -l -g -d > /etc/passwd mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group (the computer I'm using is part of a domain) Then ran cygwin.bat as matt -> bash.exe: warning: could not create /tmp! Ah ah. I have a problem of rights. I opened a session as Administrator: $ ls -l / total 9 -rwxr-x---+ 1 Administrateur Utilisateurs 57 Jan 23 12:46 Cygwin.bat -rwxr-x---+ 1 Administrateur Utilisateurs 7022 Jan 23 12:46 Cygwin.ico drwxrwx---+ 2 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 bin dr-xr-xr-x 1 0 0 0 Jan 1 1970 cygdrive drwxrwx---+ 2 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 dev drwxrwx---+ 8 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 etc drwxrwxrwx+ 4 Administrateur Aucun 0 Jan 23 13:04 home drwxrwx---+ 5 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 lib dr-xr-xr-x 1 Administrateur Aucun 0 Dec 1 2006 proc drwxrwxrwt+ 2 Administrateur Aucun 0 Jan 23 14:19 tmp drwxrwx---+ 11 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 usr drwxrwx---+ 7 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 var $ ls -ln / total 9 -rwxr-x---+ 1 500 545 57 Jan 23 12:46 Cygwin.bat -rwxr-x---+ 1 500 545 7022 Jan 23 12:46 Cygwin.ico drwxrwx---+ 2 500 545 0 Jan 23 12:46 bin dr-xr-xr-x 1 0 0 0 Jan 1 1970 cygdrive drwxrwx---+ 2 500 545 0 Jan 23 12:46 dev drwxrwx---+ 8 500 545 0 Jan 23 12:46 etc drwxrwxrwx+ 4 500 513 0 Jan 23 13:04 home drwxrwx---+ 5 500 545 0 Jan 23 12:46 lib dr-xr-xr-x 1 500 513 0 Dec 1 2006 proc drwxrwxrwt+ 2 500 513 0 Jan 23 14:19 tmp drwxrwx---+ 11 500 545 0 Jan 23 12:46 usr drwxrwx---+ 7 500 545 0 Jan 23 12:46 var Some french vocabulary: - Aucun means None (513) - Utilisateurs means Users (545) Then I opened another session as matt: $ ls -l / ls: ne peut accéder /tmp: No such file or directory total 9 -rwxr-x---+ 1 Administrateur Utilisateurs 57 Jan 23 12:46 Cygwin.bat -rwxr-x---+ 1 Administrateur Utilisateurs 7022 Jan 23 12:46 Cygwin.ico drwxrwx---+ 2 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 bin dr-xr-xr-x 1 0 0 0 Jan 1 1970 cygdrive drwxrwx---+ 2 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 dev drwxrwx---+ 8 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 etc drwxrwxrwx+ 4 Administrateur Aucun 0 Jan 23 13:04 home drwxrwx---+ 5 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 lib dr-xr-xr-x 1 matt Utilisa. du domaine 0 Dec 1 2006 proc ??????????? ? ? ? ? ? tmp drwxrwx---+ 11 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 usr drwxrwx---+ 7 Administrateur Utilisateurs 0 Jan 23 12:46 var Can't access to /tmp??? No such file or directory? I can't figure out why? And more important, how to solve this?
