Re: How to run Cygwin as the root user ?

A very basic question but how can we do that ?
Cygwin runs as whatever user you start it as. Log in and run
it. If you need to switch users, you should install the
'openssh' package, read the readme and configure it, and
use 'ssh'. There is no 'root' user in Windows and therefore
Cygwin. Something close (but certainly not at all the same)
is "Administrator".
