No, the version of hostname bash was picking was *not* from the cygwin distribution. I gather cygwin bash doesn't attempt to mediate between the DOS and Unix conventions in cases like this, it will strip \n and leave \r as is. -- * Bill Kelly mailto:kelly@softwired-inc.com * SoftWired AG http://www.softwired-inc.com * Technoparkstrasse 1 * CH-8005 Zurich * +41-1-445 23 70 -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
