It doesn't work for me. I got the same error message. Following
is what I did and what I got.

First, I run cron in a cygwin bash shell window

	$ cron
or
	$ cron -D

It is OK. Then I test it by issuing

	$ crontab -l

What I get is an error message in the cygwin window:

	BASH: /usr/local/bin/crontab: Permission denied

and a message in a small window:

	Error Starting Program
	The CRONTAB.EXE file is
	linked to missing export NETAPI32.DLL: NetUserChangePassword.

I don't understand this message and have no clue how to deal with it.
Is there anything wrong in my use of cron/crontab or it should not be
used with win98 at all? Any hints?

Paul.
