Dear folks, here is a few update: This bug was originally found with MSYS2, but I've confirm it happens on Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.1 2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:40 i686 Cygwin) as well. For convenient of compile I'm mostly debugging on MSYS2, which is rebased above the below Cygwin commit:

Cygwin's ping requires privilege elevation.

Greetings, All! I had this issue running for some time, but recently I've (with a little help from my friends) stumbled upon another Cygwin rip-off, and the hack they implemented to get around this issue. (Yes, they just renamed the ping.exe to cygping.) I understand, that some of the ping

Is a disk image created within dd "safe"?

Hi: I currently use Cygwin and rsync to provide Time Machine-like functionality to a NAS on my home network. This works fine for user data. I'm also interested in generating images to preserve the entire disk. What I'm wondering is whether doing this on a live system through Cygwin would produce
