The login command is supposed to be run indirectly via a service running under a privileged account. If you want to switch the user account interactively, consider to install sshd as service and then call `ssh -l tioadmin localhost'. As for setting up a sshd service, see the FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.sshd-in-domain Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
