Installed cygwin anfter uninstalling old installation and then reinstalled ALL packages with the most recent available using the setup.exe from the NASA ftp. Currently running 1.3.9-1. When I start cygwin and go into any directory with any permissions set, and try to mkdir new or touch new (or any name for that matter) I get [EQUULEUS] temp 24% touch new touch: creating `new': Permission denied [EQUULEUS] temp 25% OR [EQUULEUS] temp 26% mkdir new mkdir: cannot create directory `new': Permission denied [EQUULEUS] temp 27% I have rebooted after installation, I haven't done anything else, but re-installed the X11r6.4 package.

Most of us are closer to psychotic than psychic. Some details would be useful. For example: How did you install Cygwin? What OS are you running under?
