Please read and follow the guidelines of <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
for any follow-up report to this one (and any future reports as well). It
will help those here on the list understand what you're doing and where you
see a problem.
In the absence of this information, I'll recommend that you look into
and install and configure the 'openssh' package. It has a facility that
will allow you to log into a machine as a different user.
