I'm using unmodified b18 binaries (except bash and ps) with the new dll. Do you have a valid /etc/passwd and /etc/group? Yeah, I guess I was too timid to go around replacing copies of cygwin.dll, because I figured that it wouldn't go looking for new copies once one was loaded into memory. Well, this is Windows... :) So, now it works. However, I have another couple of problems, perhaps related, perhaps not. I have indeed replaced all libcygwin.a's and cygwin.dll's AND all bash.exe's and sh.exe's with the new version, but when I load up bash, I get this: bash.exe: /usr/users/krose/.bashrc: (null) bash.exe-2.01$ where $HOME is /usr/users/krose, as set in the Systems control panel. It also happens if I try to use "." or "source" to source a file, as in: bash.exe-2.01$ . /etc/profile bash.exe: /etc/profile: (null) bash.exe-2.01$ bash-2.01$ source /etc/profile bash: /etc/profile: (null) bash-2.01$ Needless to say, it isn't processing my .bashrc, regardless of what's in it. I did not have this problem with the old bash. Things that appear broken under the new cygwin.dll, possibly just requiring a relinking (although I don't know -- I didn't find anything about them in the older archives, but it's hard/impossible to search through the 1997 archives): telnet (the command line version) vim (my screen goes all wacky colors and I can't do anything with the cursor) (Final note: Excuse my spouting if these are all covered in the archives, but I didn't have several hours on a 24000 connection to parse through the archives which haven't been tarred up yet.)
