running the latest cygwin on a windows 2003 server

[Stefan Zachow]

Good morning,

when I enter ".\bash.exe --login -i" (with or without --login) I get

   *** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 0. Terminating.

What is the default after installation? I assume that I set the
cygwin environment variable afterwards. However, now it
is ntsec again according to your advice.

I used  chmod -R o+rX in the cygwin root to open any directory
and chmod 755 in bin and /usr/bin. I didn't want to make everything
executable.

I don't know very much about Samba but is it possible to have
a problem there? User and group related stuff is mapped on
our Samba Server which is a Linux box. I don't know the
Samba version right now, but it is not the latest one.
Maybe anybody knows about that.

Anyway, your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
