I use it in Windows XP as administrator with name "salvo", but if I run "xdm" cygwin says: "$ xdm Only root wants to run xdm" Is I type "su" it says: "$ su su: user root does not exist" If login as Administrator I get: "$ login Administrator Password: ******** Fanfare!!! You are successfully logged in to this server!!! login: no shell: /bin/bash: Permission denied" My passwd file has: "Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:544:U-WITTGENSTEIN\Administrator ,S-1-5-21-1390067357-1202660629-1060284298-500:/home/root:/bin/bash Salvo:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:544:U-WITTGENSTEIN\Salvo,S-1-5-21-139006 7357-1202660629-1060284298-1003:/home/Salvo:/bin/bash" There are /home/root and /home/Salvo directories. How can I do? Many thanks in advance!
