My point is that it *unconsciously* becomes the default if you've set CYGWIN=ntsec without knowing it affects CVSNT. It happened to me (and various other users). In my case, I was told to set CYGWIN=ntsec when installing sshd on Cygwin. I had no idea that it would affect CVSNT (which I hadn't even installed when I set up sshd). Why do you want other users to fall into that trap as well? If you want ntea to be the default for CVSNT (unless a user explicitly chooses ntsec), CVSNT should only rely on the CVSNT variable, no matter what is set in CYGWIN. I don't understand the problem with that approach, and the change to the CVSNT source code is trivial. -Hartmut
