Subject: messed up user permissions from w2k terminal session
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

HI everyone,

I'm not sure how I did it but I messed up my user permissions or local 
policy settings.  Now whenever I run any cygwin app (bash.exe, wc.exe, 
rxvt.exe) from a w2k terminal session and logged in as a user, I see the 
following error:

  **** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5.  Terminating.

I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 and CYGWIN = binmode tty ntsec

More specific details....

If I am logged into the console I can run any cygwin apps. When I log in 
remotely to the server through ssh, everything is fine.  The only time a 
problem occurs is when I login through a terminal server client using an 
account other than "Administrator". The administrator account doesn't 
experience problem. A user account belonging in the Administrators group does.

I am at a loss trying to figure out which policy/permission was changed to 
cause this problem.

I've been google'ing for a few days trying to track down what might have 
changed but to no avail.

Any hints on troubleshooting errors like this or an idea as to what 
permission/policy is needed for "CreateFileMapping", would be appreciated.

If a cygcheck would be helpful let me know and I will send one.

thanks
James
