I do? ....  aahh, you just meant the part about $PATH. Ok, that's
a must.

BTW, the same problem appears for sshd, rshd, login, etc. In all
these cases the environment must be preserved when running
under Cygwin. So, if anybody tries to port some daemon process,
be aware of that environment propagation problem under Cygwin.

Ok, now it's in the mailing list archive. When I mess up the next
daemon that way, just send me the link to this mail.
