Really? Here's two useful and informative messages I found on the first page of hits from google:
(I used the mailing list serach engine :) but of course google pOwEr )
First mistake. ;-)

Reading the first one and its thread doesnt give a valuable reason to keep the FAQ out of sync.
You're welcome to submit a patch. I offered this thread as "good background" only. I wasn't seeking to justify the FAQ's entry.

Does this not answer your question and provide suitable options for you?
The second says the command wont work unless I have appropriate privileges. Do you know "someone" on an XP station that has more powers than the Administrator or an Administrators member ?
Certainly. SYSTEM. But I'd highly recommend using ssh instead of su. That way you don't have to create a user with privileges that opens a security hole just so you can su. Of course, you can do so if you prefer.
