Hi,

No it's there ...

---
$ cygcheck -s -c -v | grep ntsec
CYGWIN = `tty ntsec'

But I don't have the slightest clue where to look ... I never had this 
problem before. And I have installed cygwin/sshd on several 
computers before.

Ok, I tried a new install. I deleted /cygwin. I deleted the cygnus 
tree from the registry. The only thing I didn't delete is the cygwin 
environment variable set to ntsec and tty. And now the setup 
doesn't even create my home dir. When I try to login, I get this:

---

mkdir: cannot create directory `/home': Permission denied
bash: cd: /home/Administrator: No such file or directory

---

I haven't changed a single bit on /etc/passwd or /etc/group this 
time:

$ less /etc/passwd

I'm not sure what when wrong, but I have never seen this problem 
on NT before.

And I think, when I can't access my own home dir, this is a bug in 
setup. Or the password creation? Or somewhere else.

Does anybody have any ideas?

TIA

Ulrich.
