i need "su" to start my services as seperate user,
because i have a webinterface to manage my services for both Linux and
Windows and it needs the "su" command.
- will the "su" command come back to cygwin?
I don't know. The coreutils 'su' was removed upstream; nowadays 'su' is
provided by util-linux, but that version requires PAM.
- or is there a alternative workaround? ( without password / login )
You can run sshd on the machine, then use ssh to login as another user.
