There's also cygwin user's guide on cygwin.com, that talks about how ID resolution works. Might want to download the manual from https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.pdf (also available online, at the site, in other formats). -l -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
