This problem is so fundamental in nature that it does not appear in
the documentation. Yes, I have read about NTSEC in the
documentation.
I log into my Win2kPro box as me (i.e. not Administrator), but I am a
member of Administrator group. Cygwin has also set up a "me" and an
"administrator" login.
What is the expected procedure for me to login as "administrator",
assuming I'm logged in to Win2kPro as "me" to begin with?
- "su" command is non-existant in my default install. I installed
everything possible with the setup.exe.
- "login" gives a "Login incorrect"
After reading some of the mailing list archives, I used crypt and
tried to manually edit the /etc/passwd file password for those two
logins.
My problem appears to be some fundamental lack of understanding of
the differences between a full Unix system and Cygwin unix-emulation.
Cygwin has some expectations I'm only beginning to comprehend.
