Re: Cron 'WRONG FILE OWNER' Problem Cygwin 1.7/Windows 7

Hi

I had been happily using 'cron' on cygwin for quite a while. After updating the user password using cron-config, suddenly cron refuses to read my cron tab, putting 'WRONG FILE OWNER' in the Windows application log.

Has this been seen and resolved?

Do you have two baileyb users, one with uid 32638 and owning the crontab and another one with uid 1006 and being setuid by cron?

-rw-r----- 1 baileyb root 1173 2010-12-13 07:51 /var/cron/tabs/baileyb
-rw-r----- 1 32638 0 1173 2010-12-13 07:51 /var/cron/tabs/baileyb

Output from C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe
UID: 1006(baileyb)  GID: 513(None)
513(None)           0(root)             544(Administrators) 545(Users)
