This change applies to every situation when GUI PuTTY knowingly spawns another GUI PuTTY, to wit, the System menu options 'New Session', 'Duplicate Session' and the 'Saved Sessions' submenu. (Literally speaking, what we actually pass through to the sub-PuTTY's command line is not the "-restrict-acl" option itself, but a special prefix "&R", which has the same meaning but which lives in the special pre-argv-splitting command-line namespace like the magic options used for Duplicate Session and the old '@sessionname' prefix which the Saved Sessions submenu still uses. Otherwise, by the time we split up argv and recognised -restrict-acl, it would be too late to parse those other options.) One case in which PuTTY spawns a subprocess and this change _doesn't_ apply is when the subprocess is a proxy command which happens to be a Plink. Recognising Plink commands in that situation would be fragile and unreliable, and in any case if the user wants a proxy Plink to be ACL-restricted, they are in control of its exact command line so they can add -restrict-acl themselves. |

PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
The PuTTY home web site is

Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature
requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or
in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
