Subject:	Re: network resources from within cron job??

 From the mailing list archives, (I searched with google for "cron 
seteuid not owner site:cygwin.com").

This sounds like the problem- the Administrator account doesn't have the 
permissions to run the service, but naturally the SYSTEM account doesn't 
have the rights to the network share. You can give the Administrator 
account rights to start the service (detailed in 
/usr/doc/cygwin/inetutils-<ver>.README. This is "discouraged" because it 
gives the account super-user privileges.

Even if you make those changes, I wouldn't think that the local 
Administrator will have rights to the network share. You might want to 
create a domain user who has rights to start the service AND rights to 
the network share- but again, this is "discouraged" because it is 
"dangerous". YMMV.

HTH,
Peter
