That is dubios...
will it work if i set ntsec and ntea?

root AT ISMENE ~
$ id
uid=500(root) gid=544(root) groups=544(root)

root AT ISMENE ~
$ /usr/sbin/fetchnews -vvv
/usr/sbin/fetchnews: must be run as news or root


From the source:

    setgid( pw->pw_gid );
    setuid( pw->pw_uid );
    if ( getuid() = pw->pw_uid || getgid() = pw->pw_gid ) {
        fprintf( stderr, "%s: must be run as news or root\n", progname );
        return FALSE;
    }

Is getuid or getgid not working on cygwin?
