Good morning,
I have just recently started banging away at a problem with sshd and Windows Server 2003 again. This has been a difficult journey, but I feel we're making progress.
Today, I noticed for the first time the following error message appears when a non-admin user logs in to cygwin:
-- chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp': Permission denied --
This seems to be caused by this line in the /etc/profile file:
[/etc/profile] =========================== ...
if [ -d "/tmp" ]; then
chmod 1777 /tmp
fi... ==========================================
Should I just ignore this warning? I had this problem with an existing install on cygwin, and with a completely fresh install (after mkgroup / mkpasswd), it happens also!
The permissions on the root are:
. . total 8 drwxr-x---+ 9 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:32 . drwxr-x---+ 9 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:32 .. drwxr-x---+ 2 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:37 bin -rwxr-x---+ 1 saitken Users 57 May 17 10:27 cygwin.bat -rwxr-x---+ 1 saitken Users 7022 May 17 10:38 cygwin.ico drwxr-x---+ 10 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:34 etc drwxrwxrwx+ 4 saitken Domain Users 0 May 17 10:34 home drwxr-x---+ 5 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:24 lib drwxrwxrwt+ 2 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:34 tmp drwxr-x---+ 14 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:24 usr drwxr-x---+ 7 saitken Users 0 May 17 10:24 var . .
Any ideas would be appreciated. For the time being, I will just ignore the error.
Best regards, -Sean
