Re: Write access for BUILTIN\USERS - cygwin privilege escalation vulnerability for Windows 2008 default installation

Here a workaround for this wide open flaming security hole in the default CYGWIN install. The workaround may or may not be correct: * Browse to C:\ * Right-click on "cygwin" folder * Choose "Sharing and security" * Choose "Advanced" * Remove the tick mark from "Allow inheritable permissions

cygwin setup and ATT ast-ksh cygwin download?

I'm working to get the ast-ksh cygwin download installed under Cygwin 1.7. I've run into a couple pecularities. First, the file that gets downloaded is ast-ksh.blahblahblah.tgz . I presumed it was a gzip'd tar file, but discovered that, instead, it was a plain tar file. I extracted the files, and

Thanks Dave but I don't think any of that applies with BaCon? BaCon 's translated code dynamically loads and links with all (dll's, so's). From the CygWin doc's it appears you need to run the x server first before you use gtk. Such is not the case with BaCon created code. I first wanted to see if c

Re: Rsync link-dest not working for a host with the most recent rsync/cygwin 1.7

First things first, I have narrowed it down and learned something that resolves the issue for what I am trying to do. For versions of rsync before 2.5.6 you could not use the link-dest reliably unless you copy the permissions/ownership information. With newer versions of rsync this is not necessa
