Re: messed up user permissions from w2k terminal session

Hi Pierre, I forgot to clarify the user account differences. Ignore my first post regarding the Administrators group. I thought I had put my id in the admin group but I must have hit cancel because when I checked today it wasn't there. If the user account is in an admin group (Domain admins or

If I knew installing a snopshot was so convenient and easy, I would have done it prior to sending out my previous response. I installed the cygwin-inst-20031002.tar.bz2 but the error still occurs. Here is how I reproduce the error: I launch my rdp Terminal Server Client, connect to server, log i

unique ssh user environments
