  Hi there...
  I would like to ask another question - is it possible to set the
administrator's UID to 0 in Cygwin? I set up a user like this:

root::500:513:,U-administrator,S-1-5-21-480600339-950411759-1606240830-500::
/bin/bash

  Now the UID for root would be 500. I think that might cause
incompatibilities with Unix, as in Unix root's UID is always 0, so if it is
possible, what do I have to change?

  Thanks,
  Tom Alsberg
