I have used cygwin for several years. I vuagly remember that I could do strings or grep on /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. I think it does not work anymore under Windows 2000. I'm unsure if this is due to the security hotfixes from microsoft or some other code change.

In the process of trying different things out I also applied the special-devices.sh as in an other newsgroup message. I did not work. I did then login as administrator to redo the script. I also played around with export CYGWIN=ntsec and starting the cygserver. Still no success.

Thank you and best regards.
