On Windows it's not sufficient to be admin to have all admin access. Applications have to request certain privileges explicitely and many native tools on Windows just don't do that, so they fail. The Cygwin DLL requests these privilieges for Cygwin executables under the hood. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
