You're not an expert? Oh well then never mind. We only want
experts! ;-) (Just kidding)
Take a look at http://cygwin.com/contrib.html w.r.t. contributing a patch.
It should get through the basics. I expect the maintainers of the Cygwin
code to do this similar function would prefer a patch to that code rather
than linking in some other library so if it's all the same to you, I'd
suggest you pursue that approach.
Thanks for your time and input!

Larry and cygwin-list readers,
In my own code I am using the fksec C++ library,
http://www.mvps.org/win32/security/fksec.html. I am not sure if people are
willing to link that library in cygwin. In the affirmative I can suggest a
patch to the list that would add the appropriate ACEs to the Station and
Desktop SDs, instead of replacing them with a null SD.
Note that I am not an NT security expert, I can only contribute some code
that is working for me.

Hi Marius,
I don't believe there is any active work going on in the area that you
mention. It seems to change and improve on an "as-needed" basis based
on bug reports and the like. If you are interested in suggesting a
patch, I'm sure the list would be interested in reviewing your ideas.

<snip>
From what I see from the sources, cygwin is also adjusting the permissions
on the station\desktop. The approach taken in spawn.cc is a lot more
radical though, the security descriptor is basically blown away. This seems
to break my code.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Are there plans to move to a
more nuanced approach when adjusting the permissions on the window
stations/desktop?
Thanks for any pointers/comments.
