Hi,

our company is looking at using Cygwin on our NT/2000 servers. However our security review team has expressed doubts over the fact that Cygwin is said to be insecure in a multi user environment. I was just wondering what experienced Cygwin users think about this issue and if it is an issue that is likely to be resolved or if there is a work around to 'secure' Cygwin in a multi user environment.

Regards,
Adam Cioccarelli
