1.7.9: login via ssh allows Administrator privileges

- Subject: 1.7.9: login via ssh allows Administrator privileges
My user account is in the Administrators group, but has User Account Control
turned on. I've installed sshd and turned it on, ssh-host-config, and enabled
the Cygwin Local Security Authority authentication package with cyglsa-config.
When I log in via ssh I find I have Administrator privileges:
$ id -a
uid=1000(Michael) gid=513(None) groups=513(None),545(Users)
$ ssh localhost
# id -a
uid=1000(Michael) gid=513(None)
groups=513(None),0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users)
Is there a way to turn this off or remove myself from the Administrators and
root groups? I prefer not to have administrative access unless I explicitly
request it.
