What is better?-) It depends on whether the re-port can be done easily (and reliably); tcsh and tclsh come to mind as not (yet) being available under gnu-win32 TMK. Also whether (without stable configuration management and more general exercising of a central code/patch repository) you would dare trust your life / business on the resulting apps; rcs, cvs and even tar come to mind as apps I would currently prefer the distributed binaries. > Try to remove s from /etc/passwd.

It seems as if mkpasswd and mkgroup write 's irrespective of the mount flag. Thanks! One further point on rxvt - it seems to be only possible to run one concurrent xterm session. Is this a function of not incrementing the ttydev/ptydev numbers? -- Dr David Coe \=\ 58 Fairlawn Drive, East Grinstead \=\ Tel +44 1342 326860 West Sussex, RH19 1NT, United Kingdom \=\ Fax +44 1342 316019 - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
