If setting reasonable acls is going to hurt the > CYGWIN=nontsec case then that's not good either. We need /etc/passwd and /etc/group to be filled out to understand what nt group and user to use. Setup.exe's files by default are executable by 'everyone'. If we can depend on a correct /etc/passwd we should be able to do something. We will need to have a postinstall script for cygwin1.dll that sets the permissions on cygwin1.dll, mkpasswd and mkpgroup, and ensure that that script runs first, but that is all (off the top of my head - may be wrong :}) Rob -- --- GPG key available at: http://users.bigpond.net.au/robertc/keys.txt. ---
