Dear all,
After the last restart (and maybe also after an update of Cygwin last week), the first start of bash takes hideously long (about 2 minutes). The same happens to programs like latexmk:
$ time latexmk --help
Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 10 January 2015, version: 4.42.
[... more output ...]
Report bugs etc to John Collins <jcc8 at psu.edu>.
real 1m39.914s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.015s
I did an strace on latexmk and it seems that something is querying the Active Directory of my computers domain through the VPN:
1047703 1224686 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
513639 1738325 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX >
525120 2263445 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX >
522731 2786176 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX >
518198 3304374 [main] perl 11652 pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows: line: < XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX >
[I replaced the true group/account names for privacy reasons.]
Each query takes a little while and there are lots of them. Some even take longer than a second. This continues for quite a while until latexmk finally prints its help message.
I have found the queried the log of cygcheck.
How can I convince Cygwin (or one of its components) that this is bad idea and to avoid it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
-michael
