Evening folks, Here's a funny one -- on XP Pro with cygwin 1.3.22-1. (cygcheck attached) The FAQ says, regarding symlinks, "While Cygwin shortcuts are shown without the ".lnk" suffix in `ls' output, non-Cygwin shortcuts are shown with the suffix." However, I've just noticed that all of my cygwin symlinks are showing up with the suffix! Including such things as ./etc/hosts.lnk ./etc/networks.lnk ./etc/protocols.lnk ... which is a bit weird. I don't recall changing anything that would affect this. The suffix seems to be there by default but not be there if I look for the file without it -- easier to show by example: Andrew Clegg@fourier / $ ls /etc | fgrep hosts hosts.allow hosts.deny hosts.lnk Andrew Clegg@fourier / $ ls /etc/hosts /etc/hosts Andrew Clegg@fourier / $ ls /etc/hosts.lnk /etc/hosts.lnk I don't know if this will cause any problems to any programs -- but I'm curious as to why it's happened, it didn't used to. Also for aesthetic reasons it'd be nice if they didn't show up as .lnk in directory listings. On a (maybe) unrelated subject -- the user's guide says that cygwin.bat sets some default environment variables before starting bash. (at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html) Mine doesn't though, it just looks like this: @echo off D: chdir D:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i Is it supposed to set anything or are the docs out of date? Cheers, Andrew.
