Sound like a problem with cygwin1.dll to me. > -----Original Message----- > From: Austin David France [mailto:adf AT mentor-systems DOT com] > Sent: 03 November 1998 12:24 > To: Gnu-Win32 Mailing List (E-mail) > Cc: Jonathan Storey > Subject: B20 & bash 2.02.1(2) broken > > > CYGWIN_NT-4.0 MENPC1 20.0 (0.1/1/1) 1998-10-29 15:33:43 i486 unknown > BASH 2.02.1(2)-release > NTW40 Y2KSP4 > > I installed B20, and discovered a problem with the version of > bash shipped with b20. > > I can log in using cygnus.bat OK, however logins via inetd don't work. > > Further investigation reveals a very strange problem.
