1.3.3-2: Permissions issues.


I'm (currently) running Cygwin v1.3.3 under Windows 2000. I'd had problems
off and on with my Cygwin installation, so recently I decided to wipe
everything and start fresh. This turned out to be the worst possible idea,
for now I can no longer create or edit files. The following is an example
session. The initial lines are what is printed when I run the Cygwin Bash
shell shortcut from the Start menu.

mkdir: cannot create directory `/home': Permission denied
bash: cd: /home/Administrator: No such file or directory

Administrator@CCURRIE /usr/bin
$ cd /

Administrator@CCURRIE /
$ mkdir home
mkdir: cannot create directory `home': Permission denied

Administrator@CCURRIE /
$ cd tmp

Administrator@CCURRIE /tmp
$ touch test
touch: creating `test': Permission denied

Administrator@CCURRIE /tmp
$

This is immediately after having installed Cygwin on the machine. I am not
logged in as the machine administrator, although the user I am logged in as
does have administrator privileges. However, the user I am logged in as is a
user on the domain, not on the local machine. (This has not made any
difference in the past.)

Below is the output of a cygcheck command. I've also attached my setup log,
as per the documentation. Any assistance you can provide will be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Christopher Currie

Administrator@CCURRIE /tmp
$ cygcheck -s -v -r
