Hi

I am using Cygwin for the first time.
I plan to use it on a Windows 2K and/or Windows NT 4.0 machine.
I followed the steps in the 'faq-mswin.html' and installed all the components.
After I start the ipc-daemon, when I run the initdb command I get the following error:

The program
      '/usr/bin/postgres'
needed by initdb does not belong to PostgreSQL version 7.1.3, or there maybe a configuration problem.
This was the error message issued by that program:
/usr/bin/postgres: invalid current euid 500


Also if I run the postgres command directly it gives the following error:

postgres: invalid current euid 500

Please help me on this issue.

Thanks
Avadhoot
