I asked why Cygwin could not be installed and here is some of the response I got back: > Cygwin, in itself, is typically a harmless application. > However, once installed, it does allow a user to invalidate > the NT Security architecture; a user can then install cygwin > ports without the NT administrators consent (including, of > course, the cygwin DHCP port). How should I respond to this? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
