Well, ARGH is not in the Dutch dictionary.  But then again, it isn't in the 
English dictionary either.  :-)

I misunderstood your ARGH - I assumed it was just directed towards the use 
of WinZip, which as we know can't deal with symlinks and such.  In fact, 
just about everything they say in the article deserves an ARGH(*), I would 
certainly not want to call it a "Nice article".  :-)

(I don't even think those instructions will give you a working sshd server 
- I believe ntsec is mandatory in $CYGWIN, right?  Also, I can't imagine 
"ps &-ef" and "kill &-HUP <PID>" doing something useful...)

(*) Apart from phrases like "Cygwin is an excellent toolkit for any 
administrator with UNIX experience who is moving into the Windows world.", 
of course.  :-)

     I always wondered about the meaning of life.   So I looked it
     up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
     of life.  It was not what I expected.                  - Dogbert
