It's weird that something has deleted your id binary. Do you have the other sh-utils binaries? eg. pwd,sleep,stty,tee,uname,uptime? If you re-install your sh-utils package via the installer (http://cygwin.com/setup.exe) your problem shoud be fixed.

I just did a 'passwd' and got a: 'passwd: unrecoverable error 1722' As reported, 'more' failed. I reinstalled a version of 'more' titled: more --version => 'less 374' from the March, 2002 release, and it worked. Previously at shell start, I was reported as 'Administrator'. I am now reported as 'unknown'. My /etc/profile script has: USER="`id -un`" The script is unchanged (by me). 'id' can not be found. Since I haven't ever changed this script then either profile was changed as part of the initial distribution or 'id' was removed? Any idea what happened? ('id' is described in 'Linux in a Nutshell', pub. O'Reilly.) Hard-coded: USER="" removes the 'id' error Hard-coded: HOME="" executes my ./bashrc (I am me) So the removal of 'id' seems to be my problem. Before I back up to the previous version, has anyone experienced problems with the current software (circa cygwin 1.3.17-1)? art -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
