but this only perpetuates the problem i'm trying to solve. you see, access
by
everyone, everywhere IS the NT (actually Windows 2000) security setting;
but i want to change that, not have cygwin ratify it. btw, i did set ntsec,
and
not surprisingly, it didn't change things at all. my sense is that for user
foo,
i'm going to have to create a directory C/cygwin/home/foo, and assign the
user
full access to this directory, and read/execute access to
other pertinent cygwin files. then, setting cygwin = ntsec would
make cygwin follow these settings--i hope.
