Eh, there were times when I could spend a couple of days fixing some
annoying behaviour or just reading the source. In this specific case, I
asked to see whether anyone could quickly suggest me anything, otherwise
I would postpone this issue for a couple of months :/ .

Well, I have changed the setup a couple of times since yesterday, and
wrote the mail with the yesterday's state in mind. For some reason,
cygcheck reflected the current state :) , sorry for this. So, today my
system mounts are under c:\opt\med, and user mounts -- under g:\cygwin.
And yes, id exists in /cygdrive/g/cygwin/bin. It is there because I want
to have the main installation there, and run services from some other
directory, that I can frequently create, test, and delete.

Ok, I'll try this, too.
With kind regards,
