Hi  R. Berber-

Thanks for the cool info. Can't wait to check it out :-)

Hi R.


Yes. 'The recommendation is to not use anything.'

There are too many accounts specific to the OS like SYSTEM.

I think they serve a purpose. e.g. a process can run as system.

I vote for leaving well enough alone on this one.

I will just set permission at command line in mintty for stuff like ssh
authorized_keys etc. and not touch permission outside of mintty.

Have a cool night.

Thanks,
Robo-loki
