I wanted root privleges on my user account within cygwin, so I simply changed the user and group numbers in /etc/passwd to 0:0. Now, I have set up SSHD to allow for remote logins, I would prefer user account privlages. How do I go about setting up a root user and changing my user account to non-root again? Also, I have cygwin installed on my system partition, which has limited space. I want to move it to the D: drive since it has far more space allocated. Can I just move the c:\cygwin folder? Thanks for all your help.
