The SYSTEM user cannot access the mount point /usr/lib

[linux1974]

I get the error message above when trying to run cron-config.

If i run mount is see the mount point to be there:

$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount)
f: on /cygdrive/f type user (binmode,noumount)
g: on /cygdrive/g type user (binmode,noumount)
h: on /cygdrive/h type user (binmode,noumount)
i: on /cygdrive/i type user (binmode,noumount)
k: on /cygdrive/k type user (binmode,noumount)
y: on /cygdrive/y type user (binmode,noumount)

any ideas?

thanks

Yes, the idea I got from this message is that
the SYSTEM user cannot access the mount point /usr/lib.
That means you need to give this user read-access to /usr/lib

/usr/lib usually has read and execute access for everybody.

All your mount points are user mounts.  No other user except you can
see them.  Remove all mounts with umount and recreate them as system
mounts with mount.  Hint:  The mount -m command might be helpful.

I have remounted the directories and now it starts, but the cronjobs do not work.
If I run the crondiag I get the above message, how to you select all users from the setup?

In the "Select Root Install Directory" page, make sure
"All Users (RECOMMENDED)" is selected rather than "Just Me".
