Cygnets - I just installed Cygwin and its X-windows on a WinXPPro box to be used by multiple, individual users with different logins. I found user "B" couldn't run 'xinit' after user "A" unless s/he deleted or changed permissions on '/tmp/XWin.log', which was always created with permissions -rw-r--r-- and not deleted in ordinary usage.
I now have /tmp/XWin.log owned by 'Adminstrators' of group 'Users' with permissions: -rw-rw-rw- and this seems to allow users to start X-Windows interchangeably. However, it was a manual change and will have to be re-done if the file is ever deleted and recreated. Question: How can I change things so that '/tmp/XWin.log' is created with a+w permissions? (It really doesn't depend who owns it, if all can write it.)
