Yes, `ssh administrator@localhost` is equivalent to `su administrator`, I am guessing that your "admin" user does not have all the privileges needed. It could be used only to test the hypothesis that something changed and "ad= min" doesn't work.

This was related to the GUI control that IIS has, you could use it if you w= ant manual control. Of course it's not usable with a script, so better scratch= my idea. --=20 Ren=E9 Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
