I, too, have followed the instructions in cron.README as well as the
mailing list archives. I am pretty confident that my Cygwin setup is
correct since I can telnet and ftp to my computer and login as a domain
user or a local user and things work fine. With cron, though, I am
unable to have my domain user's crontab execute because of the "can't
switch user context" error. I am, however, able to have my local user's
crontab execute.
Is your machine at work running NT/2K/XP and using CYGWIN=ntsec? Can
you send me your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files? Did you use '-e
CYGWIN=ntsec' in the cygrunsrv command that installed cron as a service?
Thanks,
Dave
