The tclsh84 does not understand cygwin style paths.
So, if you do tclsh /cygdrive/c/foo/bar.tcl it can not
find the file.
This tcl does:
ftp://ftp.nanotech.wisc.edu/pub/khan/tcl/tcltk-8.3.4-cygwin/
I was wondering if Mumit Khan's patches for tcl could be incorporated
into the cygwin tclsh. It seems sort of bad that the default
tcl that comes with cygwin does not fully understand cygwin paths.

Is you user a domain user? If so, you could use:
mkpasswd -d -u anaddaf >> /etc/passwd

Hello everyone.
Before I describe the problem, I wanted to ask to include my email address
in the CC field if possible since I am not on the list. I have some
problems which might be related.
I just installed the latest cygwin on my Win2K machine. When I open a
shell, my prompt is "t-ow@naddaf2". On the other hand, "id" reports my
username as "anaddaf" which is the username that I use when I login to my
Win2K machine. I saw similar postings and the suggested solution was to
update the /etc/passwd file but in my case, it won't do any good since my
/etc/password is identical to the "mkpassword -l".
What is puzzling me is that the user "anaddaf" which "id" reports doesn't
even exist in the /etc/passwd, nor does "t-ow". When I open the shell, it
takes me to the /home/Administrator directory. If I create a file, the
"owner/group" of my file will be set to "anaddaf/mkgroup" and again
"mkgroup" doesn't even exist in the /etc/group file.
I also noticed that commands such as "chmod" or "chown" don't do anything.
So for example "chmod a-r filename" doesn't change the "read" permission
on the "filename" at all! This might be related to the above issue.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Ali.

Are you sure they are exaclty the same. No changes in the Sid? Just to be on
the safe side you should update your /etc/{passwd,group} file just to be
certain that's not whats holding you back.
