need help with cygwin installation
Hi all,
I am new to this group and only have some basic knowledge of Linux. Does anyoone in the group have experience with installing and setting up cygwin which is needed along with the secure shell for performing remote login operations.

My problem description is as follows:

Client Machine OS: Windows XP professional
Server OS: Linux

Problem Description: Based on instructions provided for setting up along with login information from the server, I was supposed to download secure shell from www.ssh.com and cygwin from www.cygwin.com (currently website seems temporarily offline).

I downloaded both these software and have since installed them. After adding the location of cygwin software on to the General path Environment Variable.

I was asked to run the command:
xwin.exe -multiwindow -clipboard

to open xwindows emulator screen.

But when I tried this I got the following error Message:

xwin.exe- Entry point not found
The procedure entrypoint__getreent could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll


I am not able to figure out what I am doing wrong or if there is an extra step that I need to perform for this to work.

Can anyone help me?

Will Look forward eagerly to your emails.

Regards
Akshay

group

GROUP(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							  GROUP(5)

NAME

       group - user group file

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/group file is a text file that defines the groups on the system.  There is one entry per line, with the following format:

	   group_name:password:GID:user_list

       The fields are as follows:

       group_name  the name of the group.

       password    the (encrypted) group password.  If this field is empty, no password is needed.

       GID	   the numeric group ID.

       user_list   a list of the usernames that are members of this group, separated by commas.

FILES

       /etc/group

BUGS

       As the 4.2BSD initgroups(3) man page says: no one seems to keep /etc/group up-to-date.
