RE: problems setting permissions for sshd

["Harig, Mark A." <maharig at idirect dot net>]

1. What filesystem are you running on your disk(s): NTFS or FAT32?

2. What value do you have the environment variable
   CYGWIN set to in your Control Panel's System applet?

3. What version of Cygwin are you running?

     $ uname -r

4. What version of ssh are you running?

     $ ssh -V
