IIRC (and I could be wrong, since its been a while since I've worked with Cygwin under a non NT based system), Win9x/ME has no security hooks or controls that would make this kind of control possible - partially because of the limited subset of Win32 support in them, and partially because of lack of support for NTFS. But, like I said, I could be wrong, and things might have changed. -- Brian Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group Open Solutions For A Closed World / Anti-Spam Resources http://www.sosdg.org The Abusive Hosts Blocking List http://www.ahbl.org -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
