So, in my case at least it doesn't seem to be security; just a reinstall from scratch type of thing. I had noticed that for the past few weeks, it had been taking longer to bring up a cygwin bash window than before; otherwise it appeared to be fine. Now, the bash shell comes up instantly as it had prior to a few weeks ago (so, this oddity is now gone too). What I had done during those weeks was, gradually install a few packages that I hadn't previously (ssh, ccrypt, probably a few others I can't remember). The twist was, I do this (download and install) on two machines. The cygwin install directory is on a portable hard drive; as I download new packages to it on a couple different machines, I install them on both machines as I reconnect the drive to them. Oh, also, this installation folder is Really Old; probably at least 3 years old (and I've upgraded it to new cygwin versions at least twice).

Re: bash: fork: Permission denied -- how can I fix this?
I fixed the problem by installing into another directory other than C:\cygwin. I have no idea why this fixes the problem, but probably it has something to do with security packages installed on the computer (it's a new work laptop which appears to have several security related programs installed on it by corporate IT). --James James Adams wrote: I have recently installed Cygwin version 2.510.2.2 onto a Windows XP system and when I launch it the first thing I see is this: 5 [main] bash 3024 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13 bash: fork: Permission denied I get the same message when I try running the ls command: bash-3.2$ ls 9404505 [main] bash 1544 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13 bash: fork: Permission denied Can someone suggest what's going wrong, and how I can fix it?

Thanks Jason, it wasn't clear that cygcheck was a Windows program, although it makes perfect sense (if Cygwin isn't working then it's not likely that you'd be able to execute a program from within it). --James -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/bash%3A-fork%3A-Permission-deniedhow-can-I-fix-this--tf4483481.html#a12787528 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
