Hello,

I hope this is not a FAQ. But really, I could not find the answer in it,
or maybe, I did not understand?

I just re-installed cygwin on my computer.
Before that, I did a complete un-installation (stopped and removed
services, removed cygwin directory, removed entries in the registry,
reboot).

Then ran setup.exe as an unpriviledge user (it asked me if I wanted to
switch to a prividege user, what I did before installation: computer's
Administrator).

I did an all default installation.

Added a HOME environment in windows for me -> c:\cygwin\home\matt

Ran cygwin.bat as Administrator.
mkpassword -l -g -d > /etc/passwd
mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group

(the computer I'm using is part of a domain)

Then ran cygwin.bat as matt

-> bash.exe: warning: could not create /tmp!

Ah ah. I have a problem of rights.

I opened a session as Administrator:

$ ls -l /

drwxrwx---+  7 500 545    0 Jan 23 12:46 var

Some french vocabulary:
- Aucun means None (513)
- Utilisateurs means Users (545)

Then I opened another session as matt:

$ ls -l /

drwxrwx---+  7 Administrateur Utilisateurs           0 Jan 23 12:46 var


Can't access to /tmp??? No such file or directory? I can't figure out why?
And more important, how to solve this?
