Cool.  Another interesting option could be to remove the domain admins
group as well, if the user is a domain user and, of course, removing

Yes, makes sense.


I'm just not sure if that tool should be part of the Cygwin package or
a package of its own right.  I'm leaning towards the latter choice.


... or add it to the cygutils package ?
Sure, if Chuck likes the idea.

I've no objections to incorporating this/these utilities into cygutils.
Take a look at
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cygutils/HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE?rev=1.11&cvsroot=cygwin-apps
to see how best to integrate the tool(s) into cygutils.

I will provide a patch to add the 'cygdrop' tool soon.



Thanks, Christian
