Well... This is looking weird now :-)
In response to your suggestions, Igor...

Access is denied.


john@john ~

$ ls -ln /bin/bash
-rwxrwxrwx    1 1000     545        527360 Oct 20 22:12 /bin/bash

john@john ~

Why are those numbers like that? 1000 and 545? Shouldn't they read my 
username? Some of /etc/passwd:

SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:U-JOHN\Administrator
john:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1000:513:John Pye,U-JOHN\john,S-1-5-2
sshd:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513:sshd privsep,U-JOHN\sshd,S-1

Also...

john@john ~
$ cat /etc/group
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
None:S-1-5-21-1960408961-1647877149-725345543-513:513:
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:
Backup Operators:S-1-5-32-551:551:
Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546:
Power Users:S-1-5-32-547:547:
Replicator:S-1-5-32-552:552:
Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:

How would /bin/bash have become chmod 777 ?

>Also, please post the output of "mount -m" and

john@john ~
$ /bin/ls -1 /proc/registry/HKEY_USERS/*/Software/Cygnus\ 
Solutions/Cygwin/mounts\ v2/

john@john ~
$

Thanks for the suggestions, Igor
