Elevated prompt under ssh on Windows 7

- Subject: Elevated prompt under ssh on Windows 7
Hello
I use ssh to connect to my cygwin machine (running on Windows 7 SP1
64-bit) and I would like the remote shell not to run elevated (as it
runs by default if I start it on the remote machine directly), except
for the Administator user.
That way I can get the Unix-like behavior in which other users need to
`su` first in order to perform administrative tasks.
Is there a way to get the remote shell not to run elevated under sshd,
even if the user could otherwise run programs elevated in the native
Windows OS ?
Thank you,
Timothy Madden
