Subject: BUG Report: (was: Understanding Cygwin /etc/passwd and /etc/group on W98)
Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2001 18:52:32 +0100
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset="iso-8859-1"

This is /etc/group, on a freshly setup cygwin on W98SE:
Max::500:544::/home/Max:/bin/bash

And there is NO /etc/passwd at all!

The problem seems to be that the postinstall script is being run by
command.com, which completely fails to understand the unix-ish line breaks.
Presumably NT cmd.exe does, so I guess the problem might not show up there.

Max.
