Hi everyone, let's not play Chinese Whispers. :-) I am the one who reported this issue to Pierre and who provided the logs. Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (German), build 7600, this computer is not a domain client, but standalone. Cygwin 1.7.1 release, cron logging to syslog-ng. Running cron as dedicated user fails for me - see the logs Pierre referred to. Configuring cyglsa as setuid method and running cron as "SYSTEM" works for me. Is trying the CVS or a snapshot (which one?) worthwhile? Anything besides cygwin1.dll to be replaced for a test?
