I guess that they try to access /tmp which is on C: drive (check
your mount table). /tmp must be writable for many programs.

Ehud.

Apparently not the problem. It has to do with the networked drive, 
H:. Anyone know of issues involving networked drives? C: is read-only 
for the students, but the problem still occurs if it's an 
administrator using cygwin. Here's the cygcheck output:
