Re: cygwin file permissions change after installation

In fact it is required that certain files and directories be owned by
the user that runs sshd (which in most cases is SYSTEM.)  But
ssh-host-config does all this for you, so the need to do it by hand
should never occur.

hmm .. I don't know about this. I don't seem to have any file with SYSTEM as the user:
$ find /cygdrive/d/cygwin/ -name * -user system
$ find /cygdrive/d/cygwin/ -name * -user SYSTEM


the above commands give me nothing. What gives?
