We were initially logging out of the Windows GUI environment and back in again to do the Windows builds. Discovering runas made the whole process MUCH less painful. So far I haven't needed to use any advanced features of sudo or runas; in my view either is easy to use for the common cases. I'll admit it gets a little messy getting into the msys/mingw environment as another user. I gave an example of how we used it this way recently:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-11/msg00750.php This wouldn't help with the "run from DVD" situation without having a user to runas. -Kevin >>> "Jim C.

And IIRC runas isn't nearly as nice to use as sudo. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
