Insofar as I can tell, system has access to all of the files it is looking for. I even tried chmod 777 /var/log/sshd.log in an effort to identify the problem.. I also went through a cygwin installation on a Windows/2000 machine using the same procedure as the Windows/2003 server machine, and it works just fine. So I conclude that there is some subtle difference between W2K3 and W2K which is tripping up Cygwin for some reason. Maybe that's naive. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
