bug in csih?

Mon Feb 23 19:52:00 GMT 2015

My bad, csih_old_cygwin works as documented.
But there is a bug in csih_use_file_etc:
$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.
# To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes. For a description
# see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch
#
# Defaults:
# passwd: files db
# group: files db
# db_home: cygwin desc
# db_shell: cygwin desc
# db_gecos: cygwin desc
This is not working correctly:
 if [ ${use_file} -ne 0 -a -f /etc/nsswitch.conf ]
 then
 grep -Eq "^${file}:" /etc/nsswitch.conf &&
 grep -Eq "^${file}:[^#]*\<db\>" /etc/nsswitch.conf ||
 use_file=0
 fi
$ grep -Eq "^${file}:" /etc/nsswitch.conf && grep -Eq 
"^${file}:[^#]*\<db\>" /etc/nsswitch.conf || echo foo
foo
I don't think that's what you want. Both of the greps are false 
(returning 1) and use_file is being set to 0.
