Entries to have in it:\ winsymlinks export #(+opt) [nodosfilewarning] I have a feeling you are seeing probs related to the cygwin hard link emulation which can by turned off by telling it to use winsymlinks (export tells it to export the value to children processes -- nodosfilewarning lowers clutter -- especially when you have domain names. (and have references to paths with 'domain\\user/xxyz' in them). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
