Interesting:

$ ll /bin/cygwin1.dll
-rwxr-x---+   1 Andrew   Users      967522 Sep  1 10:16 /bin/cygwin1.dll*
$ chmod +x /bin/cygwin1.dll
$ ll /bin/cygwin1.dll
-rwxr-x--x+   1 Andrew   Users      967522 Sep  1 10:16 /bin/cygwin1.dll*
$ net start cron
The Cygwin cron service is starting.
The Cygwin cron service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

Didn't help. Wonder why many of the files under /bin were owned by the 
group Users and others set to the group DeFaria? And what does that "+" 
at the end of the permmissions string mean?

Anyways I did a:

$ chmod 755 /bin/*
$ chgrp DeFaria /bin/*

Didn't help.

I did get the following one time:

Event Type:    Information
Event Source:    /usr/sbin/cron
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    0
Date:        9/12/2003
Time:        7:52:46 AM
User:        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:    STARBASE
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( /usr/sbin/cron ) cannot 
be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry 
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote 
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this 
description; see Help and Support for details. The following information 
is part of the event: /usr/sbin/cron : PID 4036 : (CRON) STAT FAILED 
(/etc/cron.d).

Interesting because I don't have an /etc/cron.d. Creating it fixed my 
problem! Hmmm... Why didn't the post install create this? I have no 
idea. But I'm glad it's now working.

Thanks.

Obligatory witty line: Help! I'm modeming... and I can't hang up!!!
