Well, as has been noted elsewhere on these boards, cygwin does not run properly when CMF is installed. The cygwin commands seem to execute just fine, and then hang just when they're about to exit. No errors are logged in CMF or anywhere else when this happens, but at least there are no BSOD's.
I'm running XP Professional (32bit) with sp3.
The installed security apps are CMF 2.0.4.20, CPF 3.0.25.378 and BOClean 4.27.
To reproduce the error, just start installing cygwin (
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe). When the individual package installation scripts start running, you will notice the progress bar stopping, and one of the cygwin processes like bash.exe or cp.exe hanging. Killing each hanging process will allow the setup script to progress further, but this is probably a bad idea if you want a working cygwin system..
I've been adding the hanging processes to CMF's excluded applications list, one by one, then killing the processes and restarting the cygwin setup.exe (with the "Reinstall" option selected to make sure it's not skipping anything).
I would have added all of the .exe-files under C:\cygwin\bin directory at once, if there was a quicker way to do this (WISHLIST!
). So far, the following exclusions seem to be sufficient:
(all files are under C:\cygwin\bin)
sed.exe
bash.exe
mkdir.exe
test.exe
ln.exe
gzip.exe
install-info.exe
echo.exe
md5sum.exe
touch.exe
cp.exe
rm.exe
cmp.exe
ioperm.exe
seq.exe
sh.exe
find.exe
rmdir.exe
The current version of cygwin (setup.exe) is 2.573.2.3.
I'll probably have to uninstall CMF for now, until a new version comes out.
