Login problems on Win2K

[Peter Buckley]

I don't think you want to search the entire net, 
you should try using google to search the cygwin 
site-

login administrator site:cygwin.com [search]

Did you install cygwin for ALL users? Is your 
CYGWIN variable set to "ntsec", and are you using 
NTFS?

HTH,
Peter
