I've read this thread, but the "create root" scripts did not work. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-11/msg00134.html cygcheck_svr.txt attached. Does someone have an idea what step I might be missing? Details below. Thanks kindly. Problem: Perl MCPAN -shell results in "Permission denied" messages. My setup: C:\cygwin\<all cygwin exes in subdirs> C:\unix\home\monte\<all working files> Solutions I tried: 1. Corrinna's script. I saved as create_root.bash and ran it. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-11/txt00002.txt I entered a new password for root, and the script edited the /etc/. I then attempted >login login:root Password:<theNewPassword> Login incorrect 2. Created users "root" and "Administrator" in Windows XP Control Panel "Users and Passwords". Logged into XP as "root" and >bash --login -i 3. cd /cygdrive/c/ chown -Rv monte:Administrators ./unix 4. Edited /etc/passwd and /etc/groups manually. 5. Attempted to install HTML::Parser manually, outside CPAN. > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-apps-owner@cygwin.com > [mailto:cygwin-apps-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Faylor > Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 3:10 PM > To: cygwin-apps@cygwin.com > Subject: Re: [RFC] Globally creating a user and a group "root" > > On Thu, Jun 03, 2004 at 03:02:04PM -0700, Monte Hayward wrote: > >I've read this thread, but the "create root" scripts did not work. > >cygcheck_svr.txt attached.
