Last I heard, su won't do anything for you in Cygwin. But, if
you are on NT4, and have the NT Resource Kit, you can create
a shortcut to use the su.exe that comes with NTResKit.
Example:
With NTResKit in C:\etc\ntreskit and Cygwin in C:\cygwin, the
shortcut Target string would look something like this:
C:\etc\ntreskit\su.exe LogName C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat . -w
You'll get a small command window with a password prompt. Just
give the correct password for LogName and the first window will go
away and a Bash window will appear.
