Hi

I am a new user to Cygwin. I have installed the windows version of the Cygwin. I am able to execute ipc-daemon.exe, initdb, postmaster etc. But whenever I am trying to enter

$su
or
$su - -c "createuser postgres"
or
$su - postgres

I am getting "su: user root does not exist" as an error.

What is the cause for this? What is the remedy?

Thanks in advance
