Yes you are right, so do you have any sugestion/ideas how to do that on Windows XP SP2/NTFS/CYGWIN1.7. Does cyglsa in any way can help SYSTEM is only able to su to that users that are within its primary group thats Administrators/544 so, what i did was i made test user member of SYSTEM/18 group thats how SYSTEM was able to su to test user. but thats not a good idea to make a regular user part of SYSTEM group. code to run as SYSTEM is, if you want to try it and can get any solution to this. cygrunsrv -I runassys -p C:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe -a "/C start CMD.EXE /K C:\cygwin1.7\bin\bash.exe --login -i" -i --nohide > > > Corinna Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
