Except a previous post I made about this (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2002-10/msg00045.php), regarding
thechecking of "ntsec" and "ntea" variables, there's also a mention about checking the "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/group".
Youmust have them sync'ed with your w2000 user database, and also must check that the user you use to run the backend,
hasthe proper rights (as w2000 user and as cygwin filesystem access rights).
