Re: Newbie: How to get permissions working with 'ntsec']
Just removed the MySQL cygwin .dll but, as suspected, it doesn't seem to have any bearing on the problem. The output of 'cygcheck -s' shows the correct .dll is active anyway. The machine running Cygwin has a local acount 'RAMCOM' and also a domain account 'ramcom.dev.com'. However, the domain account was only set-up for practice with Win2000 Server and is never used. Cygwin was installed via the local account and only local account are listed under '/home'. I read somewhere that file permissions may not work with domain accounts but in my case they're not working with the local account either. To check this out I loaded Cygwin on another XP Pro machine which is connected to this machine via a WORKGROUP connection but has no domain account. I had exactly the same problems even after promoting the Power User account to membership of the Backup and Restore group.
Puzzling.

This looks like an old cygwin dll. If I am right, remove it and everything
will work!
He's refering to the copy of cygwinb19.dll in c:\mysql\bin\ . All the
Cygwin stuff you installed recently appears to bu under c:\cyg\ . Having
two Cygwin DLLs of any flavors on the same system is generally not a good
idea; one of the more frequent problems people run into is when the
different versions conflict.
It looks like your mysql installation includes some programs compiled to
use the older DLL. Maybe some of them are being used instead of the new
Cygwin programs. File permission handling has changed since B19, so that
might be the problem.
