But its contents thankfully don't take precedence over the real setup.ini in the http%%... subdir. I know we're supposed to view the local dir as a black box, and not go mucking with it, so maybe this isn't strictly a bug - but it's rather surprising behaviour all the same. -- Cliff -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
