IIRC (and I could be wrong, since its been a while since I've worked
with Cygwin under a non NT based system), Win9x/ME has no security hooks
or controls that would make this kind of control possible - partially
because of the limited subset of Win32 support in them, and partially
because of lack of support for NTFS.


But, like I said, I could be wrong, and things might have changed.
