Bingo. That's it. In particular, joining a domain locks down the perms of your C:\ root drive. If, for instance, a folder under that relies on the default perms being inherited, it's going to be in trouble. I think this is a problem any time you install cygwin as a local admin, then join a domain, then try and use it as a domain user, although I may not have the precise order of events right there. But I'm certain the key to this problem is in the perm changes that get applied when you join a domain. Simplest workaround would be to always join the machine to the domain first and install cygwin second. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
