But your effect doesn't sound good either. > If I try using the cyg_server account (yuck, I feel filthy! ;-) ), I get > kicked out the same way as reported minus the message about chown.

But the default setup of the cyg_server account in /etc/passwd is to start /bin/false as login shell.

If > so, maybe the permissions on the file are getting in the way?? That would be one good idea but I think that's not very likely. Cygwin's device handling wouldn't notice the file and call all the internal functions for ptys instead. This includes chown, which on ptys is a change of the ACL of four synchronization objects representing the pty.
