I've also found that if I attempt to run these scripts by hand from bash with:
   /bin/sh -c /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.done
I get the same error message:
   /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.done: not found
This is the same error I get for "/bin/sh -c /tmp/fakefilename", so it 
appears that the problem is that /bin/sh can't find its files for some reason.

And, in fact, if I run /bin/sh and try to run the scripts from there, I get 
the same "not found", along with the same error for running /bin/ls and 
others, all of which work from bash.

After further research in the mailing lists, I believe my problem is 
similar to one discussed this April on the mailing list. The message that 
contained the first real diagnosis is:
   http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg00432.html
Which diagnoses the problem as having something to do with privileges which 
are more strongly checked with sh than with bash. My W2K machine is not 
part of a domain, and I'm installing as an administrator-privileged account 
for all users.

After running the passwd-grp.sh.done postinstall script manually using bash 
instead of sh, I get the following:

bash-2.05b$ /usr/bin/getfacl /etc
# file: /etc
# owner: Tim Dierks
# group: Users
user::---
group::---
mask:rwx
other:---

Any ideas on what's wrong with my machine to cause this?

Thanks again for any help.
