I did just test by running cron from the command line (not as a service), and it appears to work fine. I suspect, that it can only exec commands under my uid, since my account does not have things like SeCreateTokenPrivilege, etc.
Right. And by running it from the command line under your uid, you've created files under /var with permissions that will keep 'cron' from running as a service using the sshd_server (which already has the ability to switch user contexts on W2K3). Your best bet here is probably to uninstall cron and reinstall it, using the installation instructions in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
