Thankyou for your comments everyone... On my home PC (WinXP, latest cygwin), runas immediately exits - there's no password prompt and no processes are started: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (~) % runas [EMAIL PROTECTED] (~) % On my work PC (Win2k, latest cygwin) I get the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (~) % runas /user:Administrator 'notepad.exe' Enter password for Administrator:RUNAS ERROR: Unable to change echo mode [EMAIL PROTECTED] (~) % Any other useful information that I could supply? And DTFS? Thanks again, Jon. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
