Larry and cygwin-list readers,
In my own code I am using the fksec C++ library,
http://www.mvps.org/win32/security/fksec.html. I am not sure if people are willing to
link that library in cygwin. In the affirmative I can suggest a patch to the list that
would add the appropriate ACEs to the Station and Desktop SDs, instead of replacing
them with a null SD.
Note that I am not an NT security expert, I can only contribute some code that is
working for me.

Hi Marius,
I don't believe there is any active work going on in the area that you
mention. It seems to change and improve on an "as-needed" basis based
on bug reports and the like. If you are interested in suggesting a
patch, I'm sure the list would be interested in reviewing your ideas.

<snip>
From what I see from the sources, cygwin is also adjusting the permissions
on the station\desktop. The approach taken in spawn.cc is a lot more
radical though, the security descriptor is basically blown away. This seems
to break my code.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Are there plans to move to a
more nuanced approach when adjusting the permissions on the window
stations/desktop?
Thanks for any pointers/comments.
