Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2001 22:55:53 +0200 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Importance: Normal In-Reply-To: Hello all, As people with a very good memory might remember, I run DJGPP and Cygwin on the same system (both updated every Sunday) which is a Windoze 98 bugz. I noticed a slight difference in behaviour between their two versions of grep: when I run grep with the following command line from Bash: grep -rnHi vpl3 * (i.e. looking for 'vpl3' in all my files) I get a nice list of files in the DJGPP version, but the CygWin version refuses to recurse into subdirectories and says "permission denied" for all of them. I installed CygWin OOTB, w/ the setup util, etc. This is the first weird thing I've found. Other than this, I'm happy. AFAIK, there's not security issues under Windoze 98 (AFAIK, there _is_ not security in Win98) so I'm wondering what the matter is. As I don't have the source codes of CygWin's grep, I can't really help in tracing the bug down - sorry. When I have the time, I'll download the sources.. As this is only slightly annoying, I'll happily go on my way using the DJGPP implementation in stead, but a fix or a pointer to what I'm overlooking would be welcome. Thanx!
