- Bcc:
Well, I want to install cygwin on a production server and wanted to make
sure there are no current security concerns or things that I should be aware
of. I just wanted to know if anybody else had any issues where it
conflicted with any existing application that was running at the time or any
modification they had to make to cygwin for security purposes.
