I want to log in as another user.  Apparently 'login' is only for inetd's
use.

su and sudo aren't available - is Cygwin only a partial *nix workalike?

passwd doesn't complain when I try to change another user's password, but
how can I log in as them?  I always get a message telling me the password is
incorrect.  I try specifying the NT password, but that doesn't work either.

Mike
