HI!
I am a new entrant into the user group of gnu-win32 apps..So,pls bear
with my very basic quaestions & do answer them..
Q1: I have bash running in NT machine.How do I create a /etc/passwd &
/etc/group files.I already have some users on the machine.Can I keep the
same userids, or I need to create new ones??
Q2: Once the users are created, what will be the login procedure ?I dont see
any login.exe .
Q3: I guess I can set the environment variables using the control panel "
system" for each of the users once I am able to get /etc/passwd in place.
Am i right?
Q4: I have the basic setup running , without ofcourse a .batchrc file..
Now, I am trying to compile & execute a simple code using file
operations, but I get some un-comprehendable run-time errors.Following is
the listing of my code:
=====================================
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
FILE *fptr=NULL;
printf("Hi World! - This is Adarsh\n");
system("date");
fopen("Adarsh","w");
fprintf(fptr,"HI THERE!!");
fflush(fptr);
fclose(fptr);
}
=====================================
I have noticed that it does create a zero byte file in the name of "Adarsh"
, but gives an exception after that I guess.Also the same piece of code
gives a warning, as if I am trying to declare the function "system()" inside
the function "main()".Why does this happen.Is there a header file to be
included?
Also is there a header file to be included for the file operations??Are
all file operations supported.Where can I find help on that??
That's all for the moment.
Hope u will help me out.

Hi Adarsh,

First of all - you have to get Sergey's coolview from
http://miracle.geol.msu.ru/sos/

There is a small programm called "mkgroup", which comes with the Cygnus
CDK. Just call it without parameters and it will show you its syntax.

It is in the above mentioned coolview.

You can do either this or create a $HOME/environment for each user.

at least
fptr = fopen("Adarsh","w");
but you also should check, whether the fopen succeeded or not.
