Re: chmod/chown + ntsec doesn't work (Solution?)

[Jean-Marc Eurin]

Hi,

Here is a possible solution. When I start bash through
the shortcut, the CYGWIN variable is not exported from
W2K to bash:

From cmd.exe:
C:\>echo %CYGWIN%
export ntsec ntea

C:\>\cygwin\cygwin.bat
je734613:jme> echo $CYGWIN

je734613:jme>

In that case, the chmod & chown do not work.

If I set CYGWIN explicitely in bash as:
export CYGWIN="ntsec ntea export"
then chmod & chown work!

My 2 cents,

Jean-Marc

export vs ntsec (was chmod/chown/gdb/cygrunsrc does not work)

[Jean-Marc Eurin]

Hi,

I think I actually found the root cause of my various
problems: setting the 'export' flag in the CYGWIN
variable on W2K (i.e. with ntsec) seems a very bad
idea.

I removed it (now CYGWIN=ntsec), rebooted, and now:
- chown & chmod work. 
- gdb does not crash (see message on 10/26/01)
- I can run services with cygrunsrv. The symptom here
was that when starting the service (--start), Windows
would complain that it could not find cygwin1.dll in
the PATH.

Hopefully this will solve some of the issues seen in
this list :-)

Jean-Marc

 From the inetutils-1.3.2.README-
   - The system environment variable PATH must contain the path
     to the directory which contains the cygwin1.dll.


HTH,

Your mouse has moved.
Windows NT must be restarted for the change to take effect.
Reboot now?  [OK]

Re: export vs ntsec (was chmod/chown/gdb/cygrunsrc does not work)

[Jean-Marc Eurin]

Hi Peter,

My PATH (in W2K) does include c:\cygwin\bin. I could
start the service by hand in a windows command prompt.
But for some reason, when CYGWIN contains 'export'
this PATH is not exported to the service started by
cygrunsrv.
