Re: ShellShock and Latest Version Problem


Thanks for the reply. I assumed that since bash was part of basic Cygin,
if I updated everything, bash would be included. I had Cygwin completely
down when I updated with setup. Why did I not get the latest bash with
the other updates? How to I get the right version of bash other than
with setup?
