Yes. Cygwin is just a user space DLL, not an OS. If you're an admin user not running under UAC or in an elevated shell, it *might* appear that you have more rights than other, native Win32 apps. However, that's not the case. The native apps just don't use their rights effectively.

Re: CygWin Security amp;amp; Performance Issues
Please don't... ... waste peoples time with meaningless acronyms. The meaning is perfectly clear, and posted on cygwin.com. Corinna even kindly provided the link, to make it trivial for you to go and find out what it meant. The meaning expresses one of the standard requirements of the Cygwin mailing lists, which list participants are expected to abide by. A polite reminder is entirely appropriate. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Note also that this is the open Cygwin list. That is, this is not a paid support channel. I would consider it more like some people give advice for free, and not necessarily with the hat of Red Hat.
