>>> Hi, >> I got my /etc/passwd and /etc/group from mkpasswd and mkgroup. When I'm loged as user, sometimes I need to get administrator privileges, for instance, to make and install a library or program. How do I do that? I tried: >>su administrator >>but it always says I'm using the wrong password (I use the same password I use to log as administrator). What am I doing wrong? >>>> You didn't read this: >>>FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ >> See "Why doesn't `su' work?": >> <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC39> > After reading that and further docs, I managed to get login (instead of su) to work, but only when I am logged in Windows as administrator. Do you know why I can't get that to work for other users?
