Jason,

    sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, basically too busy :(

    I've just started to setup for multiple users and fell at the very first
step!  The README says to
cd ~system.  My problem is that, no matter who I login in as cd ~system
takes me to that users home directory.

    Obviously there is no directory /home/system, so I created it and set
the ownerships to SYSTEM.SYSTEM but cd ~SYSTEM (or ~system) still doesn't
work.  Also cd ~jgeorge does work!

    Help me please.

Jim

Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin Package: procmail-3.22-7


> New News:
> === ====
> I have updated the version of procmail to 3.22-7.  The tarballs should
> be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly.
>
> The following are the changes since the previous version:
>
>     o define the root UID to be 18 so that procmail will attempt to
>       setuid when running under the LocalSystem account
>
>     o open run control files in text mode so they are parsed correctly
>       on binary mode mounts
>
> Old News:
> === ====
> The procmail program is used by Red Hat Linux for all local mail
> delivery. In addition to just delivering mail, procmail can be used
> for automatic filtering, presorting, and other mail handling jobs.
> Procmail is also the basis for the SmartList mailing list processor.
>
> See the procmail home page for more details:
>
>     http://www.procmail.org/
>
> Please read the README file:
>
>     /usr/doc/Cygwin/procmail-3.22.README
>
> since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc.
> To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
> the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
> system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

> Standard News:
> ======== ====
> In the US,
> ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
> is a reliable high bandwidth connection.
>
> In Germany,
> ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/
> is usually pretty good.
>
> In the UK,
> http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
> is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.
>
> If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
> then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
> mirror.
>
> The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your
> system and will install newer packages automatically.

> If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
