Hi, Windows has direct equivalents of some standard unix files: /etc/hosts, services, protocols, networks. It is helpful to have symbolic links from these files in /etc to the windows equivalents. A few weeks ago we talked about this on the main cygwin list. Some of us came up with this postinstall script, which has been tested and hardened against windows 95/98/ME and NT4/2000/XP (not been tested on NT 3.51). Under NT it works with both NTFS and FAT, and it works with strict_case=yes.
I think it should go in the main cygwin package and install as /etc/postinstall/cygwin-mketc.sh Paul
cygwin-mketc.sh
Description: Bourne shell script
