I can only assume that it means exactly what it says. You say you are running on XP and to the best of my poor and limited knowledge of XP there is no such a thing as a hostname there. When I say limited I mean very because I have never ever run XP before. I think I have been in the same room as an XP machine once or possibly twice. But that is not the same thing. :-) > system overide@systemor > > how would i be able to change the system overide part? > > also, is there any way to make a new account on cygwin? That would be a good question for the folks who use and develop Cygwin. http://www.cygwin.com Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
