I have rebuilt rsync-3.05 both on Cygwin-1.5 and 1.7 applying this patch:

Usually, installing Cygwin, the file /etc/passwd contains things like:

Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513...
pippo:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1006:513...

Hi,
You probably know this, but a JavaScript file can be used to do something
similar to the Run Utility for Windows CUIs...
//test.js
//JavaScript to display xeyes without a local Command Prompt...
var wshell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
wshell.Run('"C:\\Program Files\\Xming\\xeyes.exe"

I figured out my old problem, but now I have no /etc/passwd. How do I
create one?
I'd use vi, but I don't know what one should look like. Is there an
example somewhere?
In case anyone else ever needs this, if you install cygwin, then get
command not found
for everything, you need to:

Or maybe the problem is the profile. Here's the deal. My prompt
defaults to c:/cygwin and I want
it to default to my home directory (with the path as the prompt). I
thought I needed to change
/etc/passwd, but that doesn't exist. After a bit of searching, I found
the profile in /etc/defaults/
I think you should learn some basic unix knowledge first.

It's not. It's a much modified fork of PuTTY's terminal emulation and
Windows frontend parts, but it uses a different approach from PuTTYcyg
for connecting to Cygwin. PuTTYcyg invokes a separate helper process
that links to the Cy

That's quite strange; neither of those should be necessary. I have

No /etc/passwd file at all? You're looking from bash, not from
Windows, right? From Windows it'd be C:\Cygwin\etc\passwd...
This sounds like something went wrong during the installation. You
can generate the default passwd file like so:
mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd
But if your prompt is "c:\cygwi

My prompt is bash-3.2$
Oh, and there's no profile in /etc either. (or a .bash_profile, for
that matter).
Should that have been created automatically?
So it's pretty clear I did something fundamentally wrong in setup? A

Sorry for the confusion.
I did not choose to uninstall anything. I did not change any of the
defaults. Trust me. I know I
don't know enough to do that.
