After installing the latest cygwin-1.5.15-1, I restarted the computer for it to
take effect. Since then, I could no longer shutdown the machine with the cygwin
shutdown.exe as follows:

=============================================================================
tsfu AT ITO2 ~
$ shutdown.exe now
WARNING!!! System is going down NOW
shutdown: Couldn't shutdown: A required privilege is not held by the client.

tsfu AT ITO2 ~
$ uname
CYGWIN_NT-5.1

tsfu AT ITO2 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 ITO2 1.5.15(0.127/4/2) 2005-04-18 12:20 i686 unknown unknown Cygwi
n

=============================================================================


root AT Zeus ~
$ shutdown.exe now
WARNING!!! System is going down NOW
shutdown: Couldn't shutdown: A required privilege is not held by the client.


root AT Zeus ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.2 Zeus 1.5.15(0.127/4/2) 2005-04-18 12:20 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

=============================================================================

shutdown no longer works for both Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003.

Please advise.

Thanks!


Regards,

Jason
