Joshua, One thing wrong I see right away is the statement that for a single-user workstation, the "Install For" option doesn't matter. This has been the source of numerous complaints on the list when people set up Cygwin for "Just Me" and then try installing sshd (or any services) - there are no mount tables for LocalSystem. I would correct the first two sentenses of that paragraph to something like: === If you have enough privileges on the system, it's always better to install for "All Users". The only reason to install for "Just Me" is no write access to the HKLM registry key or the All Users Start Menu. === And leave the ntsec reference intact.
