This feels really wrong to me. If installing Cygwin under a non-admin account results in a potential security vulnerability, then the installer should be taking that into account. Applications that behave differently depending upon how they are installed should have in the installer an option for * install for all users (requires administrator) * install for the current user Where install for current user installs the application configured so that the current user account (and not others) can use it. Just my two cents. Jeffrey Altman
