Ooo thats a nice change :) I'd obviously like to avoid it but someones
got to be first and if there is no way to fix chmod under 1.5.X it may
be our only option. With this in mind I'll look to prep a full install
and do some more in depth testing in order to determine if there are
any show stoppers that would preclude us using 1.7.

Hmm cyglsa.dll appeared to process fine could this cause an issue?

Unfortunately password based access it not an option here for a number
of reasons, mainly as its used by a large number of automation scripts
remotely.

I know its cheaky but I dont suppose you could shed any light on my
other thread regards 2008 support:-
"apache crashing on windows 2008 when listening on localhost"

Thanks for taking the time to look at this, most appreciated.
