I installed the current stable cygwin on an XP Professional SP3 machine as a local user with admin rights.
It is a completely default install, "next-next-finish" style. Now when starting the shell, it gives several error messages, the first of which is this: bash: /usr/bin/sed: Permission denied And indeed, when I try to run sed individually, it is aborted with the same error message. All the other commands seem to work fine, the only exception is sed. Listing /usr/bin shows the same permissions (-rwxr-x---+) for all commands, including sed. I have installed cygwin on several machines in the past and I have not met this problem yet. The only difference I can think of is that I control this machine over a Remote Desktop Connection. I attached the output of cygcheck -s -v -r for reference. Please advise how to fix this issue. Thanks, Balint Btw I tried 1.7 beta and I faced the very same problem.
