RE: name: GNU/cygwin system


The file /etc/passwd needs to be properly created.

Type 'man mkpasswd' for better directions than I can give, and search for
mkpasswd in the mailing lists. Also
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html

If that doesn't work, change the environment variable PS1 to something less
alarming :)

Question to everyone else: Should setup attempt to run mkpasswd as part of
the postinstall of cygwin (or any of the shells)? Or at least get a mention
in the FAQ? It was a while before I realised this for myself.
