Dear Andrew,
Thanks for the detailed reply. Interesting!
It's not that simple. You can't blindly restart agent every time you wish
without notifying other programs, `--reuse` is a very bad idea and there's
no easy way to set/change an environment variable globally for an entire
user session.
So.. one more thing to consider. I just had a look in the cygwin package
search for packages shipping files in /etc/profile.d/
It turns out that one example already shipping in Cygwin is

Hi,
I find the ssh-pageant package helpful to enable cygwin ssh to interact
seamlessly with PuTTY's Pageant SSH agent. One small issue is that after
installing, one has to add the lines:
|# ssh-pageant eval $(/usr/bin/ssh-pageant -r -a
"/tmp/.ssh-pageant-$USERNAME")|

ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.
If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list
is the appropriate place.

I have knocked up a small tool to add/remove/list user rights from the
command line. How do I go about contributing this?
The current (unpolished) version is a
OK. Here is an example of the way permissions leak out to "Everyone". I
create a new file, with no permissions granted to "other". Cygwin shows this
to have worked OK. Yet in actual fact there is an ACL there giving Everyone
some access rights. I usually choose not to have "Everyone" authorised to
to be world readable or even world read-writable. Currently,
this translates to giving the "Everyone" user read or even read-write access
within C:\cygwin. Is there a way to map the unix "other" permissions onto a
different Windows 2000 user/group in order to close up this sec
