The above *may* be related to a similar problem that I found with
proftpd and recent Cygwin versions.  See attached for the details.

What Cygwin version are you running?

    $ uname -a

What does the following indicate?

    $ net user postgres | fgrep Group

My suggestion is to post to the Cygwin list -- you will get more
traction there.

Pierre,

The following change breaks proftpd:

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2003-q3/msg00237.html

By "breaks", I mean the following failure occurs when a user attempts
to authenticate:

    C:\Cygwin\usr\sbin\proftpd.exe: *** CreateFileMapping, Win32 error 5.  Terminating.

I was able to workaround and isolate the problem with the attached
"patch" -- that is reverting to the old behavior.

Any ideas on how to fix the problem correctly?

Thanks,
Jason
