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
