The cygserver-config requires administrator privilege so it would be better placed with cygserver.exe in sbin, IMO. >> Also in that vain shouldn't cyglsa belong in /usr/sbin? > > Nope. /usr/bin is where the DLLs are, so they can be found > even if PATH isn't set up. > But cyglsa{,64}.dll is a standalone without any other binary. It is only accessed by the OS for the LSA support if the registry key exists. This means the cyglsa-config can be modified to point to the sbin directory instead of the bin directory. Again administrator privilege is required so better placed in sbin, IMO. -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
