/dev/mem & /dev/kmem CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.5.9(0.112/4/2) 2004-03-18 23:05

[h.h]

I have used cygwin for several years. I vuagly remember that I could do 
strings or grep on /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. I think it does not work 
anymore under Windows 2000. I'm unsure if this is due to the security 
hotfixes from microsoft or some other code change.

In the process of trying different things out I also applied the 
special-devices.sh as in an other newsgroup message. I did not work. I 
did then login as administrator to redo the script. I also played around 
with export CYGWIN=ntsec and starting the cygserver. Still no success.

Thank you and best regards.
