I think it would be better to find the actual /tmp directory and change
the Windows permissions to give "Full Control" to "Everyone". This should make

This isn't bad at all. An alternative is to change the permissions on
/var/log as above, if you don't mind letting all your users see, and be able to
delete or modify, all the cygwin logfiles, but I don't see it as any better.
