You probably want to reverse the test, e.g.,
--- ssh-host-config.orig 2005-05-02 13:09:13.984375000 -0700
+++ ssh-host-config 2005-05-02 13:23:50.640625000 -0700
@@ -583,6 +583,16 @@
chown "${_user}".544 ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/log/sshd.log
fi
fi
+ if ! mount | egrep -q 'on /(|usr/(bin|lib)) type system'
+ then
+ echo
+ echo "Warning: It appears that you have user mode mounts (\"Just me\""
+ echo "chosen during install.) Any daemons installed as services will"

fi
In the future versions, we should also check for user mounts for the SYSTEM
user -- unlikely, but very nasty and hard to detect. I also wonder if the
above test should go into configurations for all services, or perhaps even
added to cygrunsrv in some form...
