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.
