I've read this thread, but the "create root" scripts did not work. cygcheck_svr.txt attached. Does someone have an idea what 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.
