Aah, Cygwin 1.3.10. This is antique! > 1. For security reason, can I change the sfuuser > password ? Yes. > Any impact ? Maybe - as for any user account, services might be started under that account. > 2. What's the usage and privilege of sfuuser ? Don't know. SFU = Microsoft Services for Unix - ask Microsoft. > 3. If changing sfuuser password is not recommended, > any method to mininize the security impact ? UPDATE Cygwin and disable the account and update the SP of Windows 2000.
