I'm building a cygwin1-20030726.dll.bz2 snapshot now. It may fix the cut and paste problem. It also may allow console windows running the bash shell to exit automatically when you logout. It also exports fdopen64 but that's not really useful for anything right now. Please try this snapshot if/w

I'm not sure I'm replying to the same person (with the same problem), but if I am: The UID/GID values of 400/401 are used by Cygwin when the current user's name or SID cannot be found in /etc/passwd. Since id tells you that you log in as "Administrator", you must have that entry in /etc/passwd to

We have a large c/unix application which uses gtk and which has been ported to Windows. Our gtk is ancient, as is our cygwin, and we're looking to upgrade both. The cygwin was, I gather, seriously hacked (some time ago) to get it to work, and I don't want to throw it away before establishing t

Sorry for the long subject but it occurred to me, given the recent "how do I make cygwin dial" discussion that we're missing some documentation. We probably should add a new section to the cygwin docs talking about how to effectively use windows programs with cygwin. I can see a shortcut section,

activating a dial-up connection from cygwin

Hello, I was wondering if there was any way to activate an existing windows 2000 dial-up connection from the cygwin command line. The reason I want to know is because I have a shell script that automatically backs up files to a remote computer (which is only accessible through a vpn connection).
