Hi,
I have spent a week trying to find how to 'su' or login as root, and have
failed abysmally.
Could you please help me resolve this.
"root" doesn't mean anything on Windows natively. "Administrator" is a
close (but still quite different) substitute. In any case, try installing
the 'openssh' package, configuring it as per the readme in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin, and then 'ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Use
password authentication (the default really).
It appears that there is no way to grant the permissions stated in Corinnas
Document, but there has to be some way round the problem.
Ah yes, Corinna's document. We're all so familiar with this document so
it is called just that - "Corinna's Document" or CD for short. ;-)
