Hello. I use a notebook computer so I can carry my computing environment around. This is WinXP and current versions of Cygwin and xFree as of a few weeks ago.
I have several user 'accounts' that belong to various domains. Most of these accounts are 'js', as in [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. I want all of these to use the same Cygwin home directory. Cygwin and X were installed from [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I'm not connected to a network, I use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cygwin seems to work with both user accounts but X will not start from [EMAIL PROTECTED] The attached xwin.log came from running xinit. Trying to start kde gives an error that there is no write access to .ICEauthority. I believe the X problem is related to permissions within /home/js. I have tried to set up permissions for both user accounts on /home/js but I can't seem to make them stick. What permissions are needed? What file permissions are critical, which mearly convenient? Does the setup process replace the permissions on the user's home directory? How can Cygwin and X be configured for multiple users on a machine? and the big question - how can I configure Cygwin and X so that I can use the same /home/js directory from multiple 'js' accounts?
