Can't access some files (/tmp)

[Matthieu Dubuget]

Hello again,

I'm sorry: I forgot to attach the output of cygwin configuration diagnostic.

In the meantime, I decided to re-install completely my computer because of
other problems – process in progress. I hope this will also solve my
problem.
You can consider this problem as closed. But, I you can have a look at the
following, it would be nice, for my understanding.

In the meantime, I did some experiments, and really, I do not understand
why i cannot create /tmp as unpriviledge user, while I can create /toto?

The first line is displayed in cygwin's shell if I log in as
unpriviledge user.
> bash.exe: warning: could not create /tmp!

Maybe this is the problem?

This means: can't create 'tm' directory

Thanks
