If you do a 'net helpmsg 53' at the command line you'll see what this message refers to. Assuming you have some inaccessible network device, it's not a problem. But it shouldn't stop you from getting the rest of the information from 'cygcheck'. > I am running cygwin 1.5.18-1 under Windows XP Professional (Intel > Pentium M). > $ uname -a > CYGWIN_NT-5.1 msc3069779w 1.5.18(0.132/4/2) 2005-07-02 20:30 i686 > unknown unknown Cygwin > > My HOME is set up correctly: > farhad@msc3069779w ~ > $ echo $HOME > /farhad What does '/etc/passwd' say? > My mount info is also correct: > farhad@msc3069779w ~ > $ mount > C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) > C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) > C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) > C:\farhad on /farhad type system (binmode) > c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) Yeah, that looks fine. > I am running cygwin 1.5.17 under Windows XP Professional (Intel Pentium > M) on a very similar machine without any problems. OK. How do you determine that ~/.bash_profile isn't being run? Is it run when you type 'bash -l' on the command line? If so, you need to check how you're starting bash to begin with. If not, you need to determine what bash thinks is your home and whether you have proper permissions. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
