Nope, that can't be correct. First of all, the impersonation token
saved by cygwin_set_impersonation_token() is used for all subsequent
set(e)uid calls for that user internally. Switching back to the
privileged account and switching forth again is part of the design.
You (Pierre) can check this by examining the impersonation token
after logging in using e.g. telnet. You will find a logon SID in
the token as well as being Advapi the source. It's the token given
by the previous cygwin_logon_user() call.

I've uploaded a new version of login using setgid/setuid.
