Igor, thak a lot ...
A have new problem. :(
I try to use sshd and whe run "ssh localhost" whit rsa authentication the
output of the command is:
$ ssh localhost
Last login: Thu Apr 3 15:20:24 2003 from s1.rmserra.com.ar
Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
Connection to localhost closed.
and eventlog report
sshd : PID 3512 : fatal: setuid 1003: Permission denied.
The sshd is running within SYSTEM account and started by init.
My passwd file entry is:
rmserra:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1003:544:Rodrigo
Serra,U-S1\rmserra,S-1-5-21-895620764-424314960-1421636116-1003:/home/rmserr
a:/bin/bash
and group 544 is Administrators
/etc/group entry is:
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:
When i try ssh -l administrator localhost the command asks password and work
fine.

Rodrigo,
There is no working implementation of 'su' under Cygwin. Use sshd and
"ssh -l name localhost" to switch user contexts.
