Re: About the 'su' command


Sylvain Petreolle wrote:

Hi all developers,
I want to make some report bout the 'su' command.
- The FAQ entry about it seems deprecated (or at least not completely
true)

This command is shown as removed from the distribution, but according
to http://www.cygwin.com/packages, it is included in sh-utils-2.0.15-3
(current version of the package)

- The 'su' command doesnt work on my WinXP workstation, even if passwd
succeeded to change my user password.
Is there some fix known at this moment ? Looking trough the archives
didnt help me.


Really? Here's two useful and informative messages I found on the first page of hits from google:

<www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-04/msg00051.html>
<www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01733.html>

Does this not answer your question and provide suitable options for you?
