You need to use the setup.exe program that is available from cygwin.com
to download and install any of the packages that come in the cygwin
distribution. Simply select "gcc" from the list of packages to download
and install, and it will install it correctly.

Sounds like a problem with starting env directly from the command shell.
Like he said, don't start cygwin programs from non-cygwin programs, i.e.
don't run env from the command shell- use bash instead.

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.

rsh is inherently insecure. Attempts to make it secure are not

Do you have a correct /etc/passwd file? That file lists your home
directory, but if cygwin cannot access your home dir, it might give that
error. Also, is $HOME defined in your environment? You could define it
in windows or in the cygwin.bat file.

I think Chris is right that you have an old version of the sources, and
you would be best off getting the new version. But if you still have the

I am taking a wild guess- when you ssh in, it spawns a shell and then
still does some ssh-ish tasks. Maybe it can't complete them from the
command shell.

The latest virus def from NAV should fix this. My virus definition file
is version 40213av dated 2/13/02. Read the mailing list lately, a thread
called "anybody else also infected" from yesterday and today discusses
this in depth. If you can, it might be good to setup your NAV to
