Hi all,
I recently set up cygwin on a Windows 2003 box with NTFS file permissions. I
encountered the same problem as mentioned in this thread:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00732.html
To sum up the issue: Upon ssh login I received the following error message:
-bash: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied
One thing I noticed was that looking at the permissions for the tmp folder under
the cygwin directory, the permissions for [SERVER]\Users were marked as "Special
Permissions" rather than the usual set of permissions (e.g., Full Control,
Modify, etc.). Even though the user seemed to have all of the necessary
permissions when clicking the Advanced button, I chose to override these
permission by clicking the "Modify" checkbox (and additionally all of the
permissions that get auto-selected when you choose "Modify") and the error
message went away.
One particular detail about our installation that might be involved in this
problem: The original installer of cygwin on this particular machine did not
give [SERVER]\Users "Modify" permission on the cygwin directory. We only added
them after the install. It's possible that adding these permission to the cygwin
directory after the install doesn't cascade them in the same way as having them
there before install does.
I hope this helps,
Jonathan Gordon.
