>Looks fine. You can just paste all 4 of the above mount lines into your shell. This will re-mount all of your standard mounts as "system" mounts, which will be seen by all users.
Ok, I'll try to do this. >The uid is hard-coded into the program source, at least in the case of inetutils and procmail... You can change the privileges of other accounts to approach those of LocalSystem, but *this is not recommended*. It's true, however... >You're much better off figuring out what xdm considers "root" (maybe it just needs to run as a service or something). Again, the cygwin-xfree list is the place to go for that. I suggest you post a new message there with "xdm" in its subject (e.g., 'xdm says "Only root wants to run xdm"' or something similar). Yes, ok. >Umm, I actually asked about the "su" command, rather than the system version... In the future, try "which su" and "su --version" in response to such a question (no need to do that now, as I've found that there's an - apparently non-working - su.exe packaged in the latest "sh-utils" package). However the response is "$ su --version su (sh-utils) 2.0.15 ..." So it's 2.0.15 version, right?
