It's also commonly referred to as SYSTEM. It's a builtin account with
very high privileges (higher than the Administrator), and it's not shown
in the User Admin window. If you use cygrunsrv, your cron runs under
SYSTEM.

You should be able to tell by the permissions... What's the output of "ls
-l" on that DLL? What about getfacl?

Try running the offending command from a SYSTEM-owned bash window? To get
one, type "at /interactive HH:MM c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i" at the
command prompt, where HH:MM is the current hour and one minute in the
future, and then wait up to 1 minute for it to pop up.
