I've encountered an odd issue where I can't seem to edit anything in /etc. I've executed 'mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd' which worked fine. I then attempted 'vim /etc/passwd', and vim seems to hang with the file name in quotes in the bottom left corner.
I can edit '/etc/passwd' using Windows native gVim just fine. I've attached a dump of 'cygcheck -s' in case it's helpful. Chris -- Chris Sutcliffe http://emergedesktop.org
