Did you make sure to run mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd (for local) or mkpasswd -d >/etc/passwd (for domain--my guess is that you want this) _after_ creating new accounts? Creating the accounts prior to installing Cygwin should suffice, but make sure that /etc/passwd contains entries for each user whom you would like to be able to log in through some Cygwin service (i.e. ssh, ftp, etc.) Beyond that, yes, make you installed for "everybody" and that the Cygwin installation is executable by more people than Administrator. That is, adjust NTFS access permissions to taste (unless someone has a robust policy they would like to share...). It's possible that setup.exe sets these permissions for you when installing for "everybody"--if not, it would be nice if it did.

However the only person that can log in the administrator. Every other user in users and groups say access denied. Any ideas? What do you mean "log in"? Did you install for "everybody" or just "you"? Output of cygcheck -s -r -v might be helpful.
