Re: adding new user to Cygwin

[Peter Buckley <peter dot buckley at cportcorp dot com>]

Did you install cygwin for "ALL" users 
when you installed it? Is your CYGWIN

NTFS? Have you tried searching google for 

create user site:cygwin.com [search]

There should be more than a few messages 
about this in the archives.
