Greetings all- I work for a corporation that is completly incased with windows. I currently have Win2K installed on my pc along with cygwin. My security dept became aware of this and now has asked me to remove cygwin because it represents a security breetch to the organization. Does running cygwin open any security 'holes' in a Win2K networked environment?? My thinking in this matter is that any information that I send while in cygwin would get 'encapsulated' and passed to Windows to determine what to do with it. Therefore, any security setting (GPOs, etc) are still enforced. I'm really only using it to run my perl scripts and have access to emacs.
Any help or insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated... cheers, dr __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
