Yup, I read the discussion on this list back in July
(this thread:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg00609.html)
that looked promising for me, but none of the advice there helped
unfortunately.
A Lou Rayman at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg01650.html was having a
similar problem on 31 Oct, as well as a Sergey Melnykov at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg00630.html,
but I didn't see any replies to their messages.
CYGWIN is "ntsec tty"
My /etc/group looks OK... I made it with mkgroup -l > /etc/group
SYSTEM is user and group 18, users are in a group called "Users".
I'm using the absolutely bleeding edge of every Cygwin package as of
yesterday.
Any other hints greatly appreciated.

Everything is possible. Pass the word.
