Hi Gregg and CygWin folks,
I found the PGP/GPG key, and confirmed the validity of the setup.exe.
As for the blocking, my college hires Cymphonix to do this for them, and
then the college Information Svces. guys stay com- pletely away from any issues
that arise.
Frustrated or confused? I'm not entirely convinced that their
security-besotted brains contain enough neurons for that kind of processing.
They would say that they neither block nor un-block anything. It is up to
Cymphonix.
The IS guys gave me the address for the Cymphonix group, and I had to e-mail
those people for a couple of days before they decided to un-block the
http://cygwin.com/setup.exe link.
Cymphonix apparently does not wish to deal with actual customers. They never
replied to my e-mails; just un-blocked the link.
I am now better informed about what awaits me on the wild, wild frontier of the
internet.
The issue (and these threads) is well and thoroughly closed.
