IMHO, deferring to the security lead for Cygwin. >=20 > We have a security lead? Personally I agree with Takashi, btw. Linux still provides the old r* tools including rsh-server. There may still be legit uses of the tools in controlled environments. if we remove all packages which can be used to shoot yourself in the foot, there's not much left, I guess. As a compromise, we could continue to provide the client package and just discontinue the server package, but it's your choice.
