Ok, thanks, you're right:

    fred AT ABBICCI ~$ login root
    Password:
    Last login: Tue Mar  5 23:27:42 on tty2
    Fanfare!!!
    You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
    login: no shell: /bin/bash: Permission denied
    fred AT ABBICCI ~$ id
    uid=1009(fred) gid=513(Geen)
    groups=0(Iedereen),513(Geen),545(Gebruikers)

Hmm, so much for google.  You adviced to use login before,

  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-03/msg00337.html

have things changed since then?

> See /usr/doc/Cygwin/login.README.

  Under NT/2K/XP, login(1) is _not_ supposed to work on the command line
  to change user context!  Though you're able to tweak user permissions
  to get login(1) working that way, that's NOT officially supported.
  
Ok, so how *do* you change user context?

Greetings,
Jan.
