RE: fork error in Windows 2003 running as normal user
Hi Corinna and Igor Does setting CYGWIN to notraverse help? Hum. I'll have to confess now. Today it works (i.e. even without notraverse)... I guess a reboot was necessary after changing the permissions (don't understand why). So I guess (but am not sure) Igor's suggestion was the right one after all. So, thanks a million. I'm happy now!

RE: fork error in Windows 2003 running as normal user
Hi Igor Thanks for your help. What does getfacl /bin report? I'd bet there isn't an inheritable execute permission for everyone. If this is the case, all the DLLs will not be executable for other, which is consistent with your symptoms below. $ getfacl /bin # file: /bin # owner: Compaq_Owner # group: None user::rwx group::r-x group:root:rwx group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:rwx mask:rwx other:r-x default:user::rwx default:group:root:rwx default:group:SYSTEM:rwx default:group:Users:rwx default:mask:rwx Before I've posted this, I've done things like chmod -R go+rx bin lib C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe (3876): *** could not load user32, Win32 error 1114 Win32 error 1114 is apparently A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. It's probably not user32 (as bash also uses it). Try cygintl-3.dll or cygiconv-2.dll. I don't think this is it: $ getfacl cygiconv-2.dll # file: cygiconv-2.dll # owner: Compaq_Owner # group: None user::rwx group::r-x group:root:rwx group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:r-x mask:rwx other:r-x $ getfacl cygintl-3.dll # file: cygintl-3.dll # owner: Compaq_Owner # group: None user::rwx group::r-x group:root:rwx group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Users:r-x mask:rwx other:r-x FYI, it's better to run cygcheck -svr instead of just cygcheck -s, as you seem to have done. Ok. Attached, in case it helps. Try chmod a+x /bin/*.dll and see if that solves your I guess you mean chmod o+x... problem. If yes, then setfacl -m d:m:rwx,d:g:rwx,d:o:r-x /bin should help for future updates... As I mentioned above, the chmod didn't help. Now I also tried setfacl -m d:m:rwx,d:g::rwx,d:o:r-x /bin And no, that doesn't work either. Some more info on permissions, also to clear up some confusion I might have generated in my previous email. Seems that I was caught by the difference between POSIX and NT ACLs (nicely described in Corinna's text on ntsec in the cygwin documentation). The dlls in c:\windows\system32 were all readable/executable by members of the Users group, which presumably is why all windows programs did work :-). I checked this with getfacl, but also by rebooting XP Home in Safe mode (where you finally have the security tab in the file properties back). So, there really was no need for me to change those permissions I guess. (Corinna's document doesn't really specify who is in Users. I guess this is because in NT and e.g. XP Pro you can set this in the user administration. However, on XP Home, you cannot. I'm only hoping that every account is in Users). That brought me then to /etc/passwd. Indeed, my non-admin user had a group ID as None. I changed that to Users. I also chown his files to kris.Users. Still exactly the same problems though.
