No, we shouldn't, I think. System administrator should be responsible to create default mount table, but not cygwin.dll itself. The patch opens HKLM tree in read-only mode. But it seems to me that cygwin's installer must add two records to system-wide mount table - / directory must be mounted to the drive cygnus tools will be installed on, and /tmp - to the directory environment variable TEMP points to. -- Sergey Okhapkin, http://www.lexa.ru/sos Moscow, Russia Looking for a job.
