I know that.


If you're saying that admin users should have to use sudo or
equivalent to gain elevated access in Cygwin, then that's a feature
request.  Does it match what Windows does?  Outside of UAC in Vista
I'm unaware of Administrators having to do anything to activate their
privileges.

I never said that.
