Sounds like he just doesn't want/need ntsec for his uses of Cygwin. I sympathize. Jonathan: Set CYGWIN=nontsec as an environment variable for your user. (Note that if you run certain things like sshd, ntsec must be on for them. - so either don't set it off in the all users environment, or make sure to explicitly set CYGWIN via cygrunsrv when installing services that need to change user context.)
