	Yeah... I hear that... am more than a little afraid to update
my cygwin to 2.x for fear of some icky breakage...(i.e. my groups/users,
mostly work using my Linux server as a NT4-level domain server/file server.

	Am afraid new security will in some way break things...
Already -- cygwin has broken NT-mount points created with linkd
and ship a broken version of 'login' that doesn't honor the "-p"
switch resulting in the need for insecure workarounds.
	
	Will likely upgrade at some point, but am not looking forward
to it.
