On some recent installs of Cygwin (from a snapshot of a mirror site about a week ago), we've started getting some odd problems. Re-running setup pointing it at a fresh setup and mirror does not fix the problems (naturally enough). A few key files in /etc (including /etc/profile!) have owner set to the person who did the install (a system admin person), but mode 700. So one obvious effect is that /etc/profile can't be read by anyone except the installer, so PATH isn't set for ordinary users, so nothing works properly. We also noticed that all of /bin (except for symlinks) also had mode 700 (yet strangely enough, seem to execute). For now, we are working around this by adding in a "chmod -R a+rx /etc" to our post-install script. That's a gross hack. Here's a snippet from /etc, showing some file permissions that look wrong to me. I've attached a cygcheck output and the full /etc ls at the end. -rwx------+ 1 desmolej Domain U 6912 Jul 16 2002 mime.conf -rwx------+ 1 desmolej Domain U 6912 Jul 16 2002 mime.conf.default -rwx------+ 1 desmolej Domain U 1898 Jul 10 2002 mime.types -rwx------+ 1 desmolej Domain U 12800 May 4 07:28 mlock.exe -rwx------+ 1 desmolej Domain U 88039 May 23 06:44 moduli -rw-rw-rw- 1 desmolej Domain U 60 Jul 10 08:29 motd -rw-rw-rw- 1 desmolej Domain U 0 Jul 10 08:30 mtab lrwxrwxrwx 1 desmolej Domain U 160 Jul 10 08:29 networks -> C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\networks -rw-rw-rw- 1 desmolej Domain U 43683 Jul 10 08:37 passwd -rw-rw-rw- 1 desmolej Domain U 945 Jul 10 08:29 passwd.orig -rw-r--r-- 1 desmolej Domain U 2853 Jul 10 08:29 pinforc drwx------+ 2 desmolej Domain U 0 Jul 10 08:30 postinstall drwx------+ 2 desmolej Domain U 0 Jul 10 08:29 preremove -rwx------ 1 desmolej Domain U 2034 Jul 10 08:29 profile drwx------+ 2 desmolej Domain U 0 Jul 10 08:37 profile.d -rwxr-xr-x 1 desmolej Domain U 1519 Jul 10 08:29 profile.ksh Is this happening to anyone else? luke
