Hi there... I've got some problem with Cygwin's su command under Windows
NT. Generally, the problem is that if I try to su to any user (except of the
same user I'm logged on to), from any user (including Administrator), I get
the following error message:
su: cannot set user id: Not owner
I set the /etc/passwd file up, by entering:
mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
and added all the permissions it could need to the Administrators group
under User Manager:
Act as part of the operating system
Increase Quotas
Replace a process level token
Restore files and directories
(These were taken from the Windows NT Resource Kit SU documentation, but I
thought they might be required for Cygwin's 'su' to work)
I've also set up the CYGWIN environment variable to include "ntsec" and
"ntea", yet I cannot substitute user.
I can, however, use the login command, it works OK.
Has anyone got any idea what the problem might be?
Any help kindly appreciated,
Tom Alsberg
