See the attached. It is likely the above is the same problem. If so,
then Pierre Humblet has a patch to correct this problem.

What is you gid?
$ id -g
513
If it is not 544, then edit your /etc/passwd so that it is.

Pierre,
The following change breaks proftpd:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2003-q3/msg00237.html
By "breaks", I mean the following failure occurs when a user attempts
to authenticate:
C:\Cygwin\usr\sbin\proftpd.exe: *** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5. Terminating.
I was able to workaround and isolate the problem with the attached
"patch" -- that is reverting to the old behavior.
Any ideas on how to fix the problem correctly?
Thanks,
Jason
