In my hands NTSEC had been very annoying.  I get all the time those
pinfo_proc kill at 1000 blah blah.

I did not understand the philosophy behind NTSEC.  Cygwin is a development
tool
not a multiuser UNIX login system, thus I am not sure implementing all the
UNIX
traditional security features would be helpfull for development tools.
