OK, then, big difference. 'pippo' is not root, pippo is able to do things as root when needed. Administrative users on Windows are treated as equivalent to root by Cygwin. 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. -- Mark J.
