Did you check your /etc/group file? Does it contain your primary

Unlikely since I'm using the mailing list address in my "From:"
field. Just "reply" to my mailings and even Outlook sends
only one message to the list.
I installed cygwin and have been using it pretty much as it came "out of
the box" (on an NT4 box).
As installed (with the bash shell), it displays light green on black
background and I'm going blind. I searched the faq, etc., and found all
sorts of stuff about setting colors in vim or emacs, but
In the bash shell, my prompt seems to be the two lines below

INUK is the machine name (NT4), and '~' is my home directory, but where
does the thing get the 'I have no name' thing and how can I change it?

I would guess it gets the "I have no name!" thing because you need to do
a "mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd". I don't think your domain username is in
the passwd file, so it doesn't know who you are.

If you're using the Windows console, open the properties dialog, either of

I have updated the version of CRON in cygwin/contrib to 3.0.1-5.
This version adds a postinstall script which creates the /var/cron

the chance that cron creates these directories with wrong mode

Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug but you all are
probably aware of this strange behavior.

Barry,
When you confirmed the dialog, it asked you whether to apply the change
only to the current window or to all subsequent uses of the same shortcut
that created that window. If you did not start the shell via a shortcut,
then the second alternative is based on subsequent windows with the
Barry,
I think I misunderstood you last time. There are indeed color-changing
sequences in the prompt you've got (it originates in /etc/profile, by the
way). But when I use that prompt, the color change is restricted to the
prompt itself.

Setup (or an postinstall script) could then check against a sensible limit
(100 or 1000?) and warn and ask:
"There are 31415 domain members! I'll not load them unless you go to lunch
now..." 8-)

Using Cygwin DLL 1.3.10.
1. Close all Cygwin programs
2. Open bash
3. Type: cd /cygdrive
4. Type ls
I get a listing of C:\ instead
5. Type bash
6. Type: cd /cygdrive
7. Type ls
I get a listing of available drives as I should.
Can someone else confirm this is a problem?
I have a patch to fix it i

Hello,
I have recently compiled xdvi22.53 under cygwin1.3.9, but
I am having problems running it. The runtime error is:

Nicolae,
A 128 megabyte realloc fails? No kidding??
There is a Cygwin-wide allocation limit that defaults, if I recall
correctly, to 128 megabytes. There is a registry entry that overrides this
default called HEAP_CHUNK_IN_MB.
Here are the details, excerpted from an email by "Scott A. Hill"

Hi, gentleman, could you do me a favour?
I had some trouble in running a C program.
[C source code is]

char *a = "I am a teacher";
char *b = "You are a student";
printf("string_a = %s\nstring_b = %s\n", a, b);
copy_string(a, b);

Hello,
[ No Cygwin-specific issues here. ]
The compiler and / or linker are allowed to place those string literals in
read-only storage, and apparently gcc under Cygwin does just that.
If you modify your program like this:
-==-
#include
char *strsave(char *);
int main() {
// char *a =
1 - 100 of 106 matches
