I don't know what "whereis" and "urpmi" are, but the zsh package seems to contain functions by those names, so maybe you need to install and run zsh? > 2) No login is required before connection.

As long as you have setup your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files by running mkgroup and mkpasswd, you will be logged in as whatever windows username you logged into windows with. If that user has admin rights, you will be effectively root in cygwin. > If there is a tutorial answering this kind of > questions please let me know. You should certainly read all the documentation there is: http://cygwin.com/docs.html In particular the user guide is very helpful, even though it's not exactly a tutorial. http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
