The result is now that the /etc/group file contains all entries twice, and the root entry is still missing. That's a problem. Can you please update the base-passwd package?

Re: [1.7] Setup.exe default ownership of files in fresh install [Admin:None?]
On May 9 12:33, Chris Rodgers wrote: Dear List, I have two admin accounts on a Windows XP Pro machine. I installed Cygwin 1.7 beta using Admin1 initially. This morning, I tried to update some packages from account Admin2. I kept getting errors about not being able to update files because they were in use. It turned out that I just needed to blow away all the permissions from the cygwin tree and add an inheritable ACL for the Administrators group. So you removed all the carefully crafted POSIX permissions. Oh well. But - as the other posters have said, shouldn't setup just default to installing as Administrators rather than a specific admin user so that it is possible to share the cygwin tree between users? I applied a patch to setup which allows all admins to replace files in a given installation without falling back to non-POSIX permissions. I just uploaded setup version 2.621 to http://cygwin.com/setup-1.7.exe which contains that patch.

Would it be possible to ignore ENTER in that box? I would love that, too. I'm not fluent enough in gooey programming to implement that, unfortunately.

[PATCH] Change setup.exe local directory screen description depending on install type
setup.exe's current local directory screen doesn't accurately describe the purpose of the local directory when the user is installing from a local mirror (rather than downloading or download-and-installing), which can be confusing. The attached patch changes the description based on what the install type is. ChangeLog entry: 2009-05-11 Bryan Thrall bryan.thr...@flightsafety.com * localdir.cc (load_dialog): Choose description string based on install type. * res.rc (IDD_LOCAL_DIR): Replace static description text with IDC_LOCAL_DIR_DESC. * resource.h (IDS_LOCAL_DIR_DOWNLOAD): New string resource id. (IDS_LOCAL_DIR_INSTALL): Likewise. (IDC_LOCAL_DIR_DESC): New text control resource id. -- Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International bryan.thr...@flightsafety.com localdir_desc.patch Description: localdir_desc.patch
