It doesn't seem that that is what the documentation tells you to do: $ ./configure --enable-xml-log=yes --with-tmp-dir=/usr/local/tmp --with-config-file=/usr/local/etc/samhainrc --with-log-file=/usr/local/log/samhain.log --with-pid-file=/usr/local/var/samhain.pid --with-state-dir=/usr/local/var That seems sane to me; I think the OP's explanation/understanding was just wrong.... OTOH, that page also has instructions for a "Cygwin minimal installation procedure to run samhain" that feature instructions to copy cygwin1.dll and cygminires.dll to the windows\system32 directory, and that definitely *is* bad advice. ~Matt -- 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/
