I am just setting up ssh on my wife's Win2K computer.

I've installed cygwin and am in the process of running ssh-host-config.

Here's what I get:

lilly AT lilly /var/run
$ ssh-host-config -y
*** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (
*** Info: Creating default /etc/ssh_config file
*** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file?

*** Warning: Please change the user and/or group owne
*** Warning: permissions of /var/run.
*** ERROR: Problem with /var/run directory. Exiting.


I searched and could onnly find this: 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-07/msg00520.html

...which led me to this list.

I tried to set permissions and to chown the file there, but to no avail.

lilly AT lilly /var/run
$ chown lilly utmp


Ideas? 

The drive is - because it dual-boots with openSUSE - FAT32.
