Re: Postinstall failure: file not found









From: Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha at cs dot nyu dot edu>
Rudiyanto,

I'm replying back to your Hotmail account and Cc'ing the list.

The above indicates that your /etc/passwd was not constructed properly for
some reason.  Are you logging in as a domain user by any chance?  I
imagine people with deep knowledge of the ntsec mechanism (Corinna,
Pierre) will be interested in having a look at your /etc/passwd,
/etc/group, and the output of "cygcheck -svr" (as an attachment).  Could
you please post those to the list?  And the output of "getfacl
/etc/postinstall" would be interesting too.

Since this is happening on a clean install, I can only assume that there
is something wrong with the mkpasswd invocation...  But I'd be very
interested in Pierre's and Corinna's opinion on this.
	Igor
P.S. I'll review the setup.log.full you sent, but I think the above is the
reason for your troubles.

Nope, I am not a domain user. Also, I tried installing under administrator and user with administrator permission. Both gave me the same results. I can't find /etc/passwd and /etc/group under /etc directory. This is what I have under /etc:

bash-2.05b$ /usr/bin/ls -la /etc
total 16
d---------+   6 ???????? ????????     4096 Apr  3 22:34 .

Also attached is the output of cygcheck -svr.
And "getfacl /etc/postinstall" gives:

bash-2.05b$ /usr/bin/getfacl /etc/postinstall
# file: /etc/postinstall
# owner: ????????
# group: ????????
user::---
user:ryg:rwx
group::---
mask:rwx
other:---
default:user:ryg:rwx
default:mask:rwx

Thanks
