I've seen both of these posted in the past, but never any commentary about resolution. Does anyone know what is going on with this? 1: I have a program that used to work for basic serial port I/O and now seems to no longer work. I found http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-08/msg00969.html and http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-08/msg00509.html that both discuss problems with the serial ports in the latest cygwin version. Has this been resolved (I have not seen a post about it if it has been)? 2: I seem to have user id issues. According to 'id', my uid is 500 (Administrator), items owned by Administrator (according to ls -l) are actually user id 544 (according to ls -nl). If I create a new file or chown to 500, or Administrator, the resulting userid is 23794 (which is unrecognized by ls -l). I can chown to 544, which will be recognized as Administrator (by ls -l). Now, certain programs, such as fetchmail use user id's as a double check. Fetchmail for instance gives the error "File /home/Administrator/.fetchmailrc must be owned by you. -- 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/
