Answers

1) yes. No problems

2) see attached http://www.nabble.com/file/p23197369/cronbug.txt cronbug.txt 

3) This may be my problem. I can't find /etc/group in my directories. (I
apologize I am new to cygwin)

I should have mentioned this earlier but I am using windows vista, which
from the cronbug file i see it says not supported.
