No, I was running setup from Windows XP. My Cygwin gid is 513 and the other users gid's are 513 also. How do you run setup from Cygwin? I have read the ntsec section of the users manual several times now and most of it is making sense, but I still don't understand exactly how to set up a multi-user system (no domain). Is there a recommended way? If the default group is None, then why does setup not give default permissions for that group (read, and execute where appropriate)? Do I just need to change all my users default group to Users? I will try to write a FAQ entry if I can sort this out.
