yes, you are right i thought of that too but i just gussing that reward to
be root user goes to SYSTEM rather than Administrator coz SYSTEM has
 capability to use 'su'. Just a guess but you are right its easy to patch=

webmin to recognize SYSTEM not root than going into all the way installing
Cygwin as SYSTEM and the making is root User.=20

Thanks

(Some Other Problems for WCAMP Layout)
By the way Do you Know any really good IMAP/POP3 for cygwin with exim. UW=
=20
does not works problem is that it only do cram-md5 login nothing else.
 and compiling php under cygwin with mysql support still searching for
mysql.socket, dont have that coz its mysql client for windows mysql
 server.
