After further looking into this issue I fear I can't do anything against that in Cygwin 1.5.25 anymore. There is a strange privilege issue when using impersonation tokens starting with Windows Vista. The root of the problem seems to be UAC. Cygwin 1.5.25 is using impersonation tokens quite heavily. Due to this problem I dropped all the forced impersonation token usage from 1.7, so the issue will be fixed in Cygwin 1.7 as far as I can see from my tests. The only thing you might try is to switch off UAC entirely on that system and try again. I'm not sure if that helps since I can't test this right now. If you could try and report back? Other than that, maybe using the (not yet production) Cygwin 1.7 is an option for you. You can install a 1.7-based distro over your 1.5 distro using another setup.exe: http://cygwin.com/setup-1.7.exe Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
