yes, you are right i thought of that too but i just gussing that reward to be root user goes to SYSTEM rather than Administrator coz SYSTEM has capability to use 'su'. Just a guess but you are right its easy to patch= =20 webmin to recognize SYSTEM not root than going into all the way installing Cygwin as SYSTEM and the making is root User.=20 Thanks (Some Other Problems for WCAMP Layout) By the way Do you Know any really good IMAP/POP3 for cygwin with exim. UW= =20 does not works problem is that it only do cram-md5 login nothing else. and compiling php under cygwin with mysql support still searching for mysql.socket, dont have that coz its mysql client for windows mysql server. --- On Wed, 4/2/09, Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin AT cygwin DOT com> wrote: > From: Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin AT cygwin DOT com> > Subject: Re: SYSTEM as root user > To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com > Date: Wednesday, 4 February, 2009, 6:04 PM > Oh please, >=20 >=20 > http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU >=20 >=20 > http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR >=20 >=20 >=20 > On Feb 4 17:41, Jaspreet Singh wrote: > > I was just gussing that if i made SYSTEM > > user as root user then the problem with the > permissions will go >=20 > I assume you read the Cygwin user's guide about NT > security.
