It should be noted that this does not work if running on W98, it must be on XP or NT (someone please correct me if I'm wrong here).

Yes, that's exactly what happens when you telnet or ssh,
providing a password.

Cygwin provides a function: 
cygwin_logon_user (user_pwd_entry, cleartext_password); 
See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SETUID
As indicated before, the user needs to be in passwd.
