Sorry seems I missed one critical element here. I thought I was doing
all the tests under a cygwin prompt but in fact the chown's I was
doing under an ssh'ed prompt. It works under a cygwin prompt on the
desktop but fails when I'm ssh'ed in. So this actually looks like it
may be a problem with ssh under 2008?
I've attached the output from whoami in both cases. A privaledege
missing from the sshd_server user may be? Note: ssh was installed
with a slightly older than latest version of cygwin so if this has
changed to support 2008 recently that could be where my problem lies.
Regards
Steve
