Windows hardening and system paths

["Mikkel Rostock" <mikkel at rostock dot biz>]

Hello there,

I am trying to install Cygwin on a Windows 2003 server that is hardened,
meaning that all Windows resources (DLLs) are moved from their usual
location (eg. X:\WINNT\SYSTEM32) to a different location, and that these
resources can only be accessed/executed from this location.

Cygwin uses some DLL-resources in Windows, but in my case, these DLLs reside
in another location than the usual Windows system directory, so how can I
tell Cygwin to (also) look for Windows resources in a different place than
the usual system folder?

I can see, when I run the cygpath -W or cygpath -S that the Windows paths
are /cygdrive/x/WINNT and /cygdrive/x/WINNT/SYSTEM32. Those I would probably
want to change.

Best regards
Mikkel Rostock
