Subject:	Re: passwd -R?
From:	Alex P <student00x AT gmail DOT com>

I do have cygserver running as "Local System".

My original issue is that cron stopped working after domain user
password reset. Stopped as - it worked fine before.

My first stop was to reset password with "passwd -R", but it did not
fix my cron problem - not running as user (member of local
Administrators group - getting error in Event Viewer), not elevated
("As Administrator").

I suspect some security policies were modified (machine is part of
domain), but I don't know what to check.

Thanks for weighing in.
   AlexP.
