I'm trying to login as another person, but using "su" tells me I don't 
have permissions to use bash.  Using login gives me errors about no home 
directory and no permissions to use bash.

I check the bin directory and I own all the files.  Did I install cygwin 
incorrectly?  who should own the cygwin files and what permissions 
should they be set at?  Is there any documentation on how these files 
should be set up?

thanks,
