This is when mounting with nfs link X: ...; file browsing and opening works, just not create/copy. With Windows mount (net use X: ...) everything works (but I don't like that mount because it works with fixed file permissions only). rlogin does not work anymore; it just hangs. ---------------------- Path problems rsh does not work anymore: - complains about missing /usr/bin/rlogin (which has moved to /bin) man does not work anymore: sh: /usr/bin/tbl: No such file or directory sh: /usr/bin/nroff: No such file or directory (I wonder why man tries to invoke these using absolute pathnames...) ---------------------- File system problem (weird) I had a shell script "x." which mysteriously was renamed to "x" after the update. I could rename it back to "x.", though. After I reverted to cygwin 1.5 (for network problems described above), the file is not available anymore; it appears in ls -l as follows: ??????????? ? ? ? ? ? x. and is not accessible by either "x." or "x" from either cygwin or Windows. (Since I cannot create another "y." now, I am not sure how I originally created the "x." file, but it had been there and I regularly called it as "x." on the command line.) ---------------------- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
