David & JRC,
I also had similar problem when I screwed up Win2k security settings.
My problem was non admin users on my Win2k box cant run CyGNOME.
It became very secure, not even allowing non-admin user to see C:\
I corrected CyGNOME issues by reducing the security on %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp
Following is what I did. All the steps may not be necessary for you.
Also there may be a better way.
Just wait before applying this,
So that somebody can comment on what I did.
I use Windows 2000. On other windows versions the options may be different.
NB: Effect of many step in the following will be difficult to reverse.
Steps:-
gone to %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp
and deleted all the files and folders in it.
now logged into Cygwin with Administrator ID and
and executed
$ chmod 1777 /tmp
Came to windows explorer
right clicked %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp
selected "Sharing.."
clicked "Security" tab
Ensured the groups "Administrators" and "Everyone" have all the
permissions checked.
Checked "Allow inheritable premissions from parent to propagate..."
clicked OK
Once again right clicked on %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp
and Came to "Security" tab
clicked "Advanced.." Button.
Add/Edit Permission Entries for "Everyone" to following
Apply to : This Folder, subfolders, files.
Checked all the boxes under Allow
Came back to "Access Control Settings for tmp" screen
checked "Allow inheritable permissions from parent..."
checked "Reset permissions on all child objects..."
And applied it.
Now my CyGNOME works fine for all users
Cheers

I force the installation of the ORBit package from the /install/dir
but the problem remains.
Can you say me what was your solution ?
