Hi all,
I know that the nice cygwin isn't Unix, but there is a manner to be
"root"?
I use it in Windows XP as administrator with name "salvo", but if I run
"xdm" cygwin says: 
"$ xdm
Only root wants to run xdm"

Is I type "su" it says:
"$ su
su: user root does not exist"

If login as Administrator I get:
"$ login Administrator
Password: ********
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
login: no shell: /bin/bash: Permission denied"

My passwd file has:
"Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:544:U-WITTGENSTEIN\Administrator
,S-1-5-21-1390067357-1202660629-1060284298-500:/home/root:/bin/bash
Salvo:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:544:U-WITTGENSTEIN\Salvo,S-1-5-21-139006
7357-1202660629-1060284298-1003:/home/Salvo:/bin/bash"

There are /home/root and /home/Salvo directories.

How can I do?
Many thanks in advance!

Salvo Micciché
