it seems to work ok under nt with ntsec. Either when logged in as a
member of "administrators" group or as ordinary user. Alas, i have no
'95 or '98 boxes around to check it up there.

ssh, wget and others works just fine on machines without cygwin
installed, and don't complain that "We don't know who are you, so go
away."

A patch against snapshot-06-14-1999 is attached.
