    Dear Cygwin mailing list,

    I'd previously been happily using Cygwin on a non Azure AD enrolled
    machine, but am now setting up a machine that is enrolled.

    The problem is some packages fail to install due to permissions
    issues when I first launch the Cygwin |setup-x86_64.exe|. |126| is a
    permissions error code:

    As soon as I launch Cygwin, I see

    -bash: /usr/bin/hostname: Permission denied

    |bash -l| also fails:

    $ bash -l
    bash: /usr/bin/hostname: Permission denied

    |find| fails:

    $ /usr/bin/find
    bash: /usr/bin/find: Permission denied

    I can't install any python packages because the certificates failed
    to install.

    Would anyone have suggestions on diagnosing this permissions issue?

    thank you
