Here's a strange problem from Cygwin ver 1.5.19 (0.150/4/2) under Windows2000 (v5.00.2195):
If I run a simple ping (even ping localhost) from a Windows account that is classified by Windows as a "Restricted user (Users Group)", I get: ping: recvfrom: Invalid argument repeated over & over in rapid succession til I hit Ctrl-C. But if I ping from either of my two administrator-type accounts, it pings fine. My ping path is using /usr/bin/ping.exe Any ideas? For now I will just force my path to use the Windows ping instead (which is what Cygwin v1.5.18 uses).
