I don't think that's a supported way of running cygwin. Things would probably work better if you set the mount table for each computer so it had /tmp mounted on a local disk, rather than having them all share one. > So the local Computer doesn’t know anything about the other users and therefore we have written a program that manages this problem for us.

You could avoid them being created by using '-nolisten unix', which probably avoids this specific problem. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
