You need a patch (by Chris Faylor) that's in the cvs version of cygwin to get these files to show up correctly. Then they show up as devices; for example: crw-rw-rw- 1 Everyone Everyone 0, 0 Jun 21 15:09 /dev/dgsocket But! that shows up another issue: for me, all the devices show up as having major & minor device numbers as 0. They correctly get block or character type, but the minor/major numbers are missing. Is this something new? I'm running latest CVS development cygwin on win2k. // Conrad
