Yeah, I tried the exclusion list... It doesn't seem to matter (tho I'm not entirely sure that our IT dept hasn't intentionally broken the exclusion list).

Thanks all for your help. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
