Cygwin is a user space DLL. It cannot break the OS, unless you do something really terrible like rm -rf in /cygdrive/c with admin rights, but you can do the same with CMD. And we also don't access or try to write UEFI variables, usually. Hmm, /proc/sys, maybe? > Should I just whack on a disclaimer and report it? Yes, please. Please see http://cygwin.com/problems.html. A simple testcase would be cool. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
