I am running WinXP SP2.
Not being a window type guy I am trying to understand what the "SYSTEM" account is. I see the line in "SYSTEM:*:18:544:544:....." in the /etc/passwd but I am not sure what this account is or where it is created from. It is not in my list of accounts under "computer management / local users and groups". QUESTIONS: 1) What is the SYSTEM account. 2) Am I suppose to be able to log in to the account SYSTEM? 3) Do I need to be able to log in as SYSTEM? 4) Where does cygwin install get the information to create the /etc/passwd entry?
