Igor,

Unfortunetly users that are not in the administrator group cannot even start
a bash. That's why I took an Administrative user to create the cygcheck 
output.
The bash appears very shortly as a frame and disappears immediately again.

The initial permissions for cygwin related stuff were

   user: adminst
   group: mkgroup
   permissions: rwx for user and group only

However, I changed these to: chmod -R o+ rX after installation

'mkgroup'  is strange. It seems that I cannot synchronize with
our network databases. A mkgroup -u -d DOMAIN gives the
following two lines of output:

LookupAccountName (\\Host, Domain Admins) failed with error 1332
LookupAccountName (\\Host, Domain Users) failed with error 1332

I changed to ntsec as well - but no difference.

Ah, OK. It wasn't clear to me that cygwin automatically
gathers all shared network drives.

That's interesting, too. I haven't seen this one. But no change to
my problem.
