Success! I've changed the user names in /etc/passwd to the customised
versions, ie. Administrator becomes 'root' with home directory /home/root
re-set in System. Permissions still working. This time, however, I didn't
wipe-out the SIDs as suggested in the Cygwin online user guide. I don't know
if this made any difference as it's still a mystery as to what solved the
problem.
The only problem I have now is that every file is listed with group='None'
though the sytem contains 2 main accounts: 'Administrator'
(group=Administrators) and 'pgarry' (group=Power Users). Why don't files
owned by 'pgarry' have Power User as the group id?
Thanks
Garry Heaton
