I tried the incantation (You're a clever script coder) and the chmod 
commands but to no avail.  Insofar as I can tell, system has access to 
all of the files it is looking for.  I even tried chmod 777 
/var/log/sshd.log in an effort to identify the problem..

I also went through a cygwin installation on a Windows/2000 machine 
using the same procedure as the Windows/2003 server machine, and it 
works just fine.  So I conclude that there is some subtle difference 
between W2K3 and W2K which is tripping up Cygwin for some reason.  Maybe 
that's naive.


Thank you in advance for your assistance.
