In case it helps, in XP you can log on as a non-admin and do a 'runas
/user:administrator c:\colinux\colinux-daemon.exe' <br>
There are options to store the password in a hash so that you don't
need to type it in every time ('runas /?' for details) Or, using the
method I prefer for something like this is to: 1) create a shortcut,
open it's properties 2) choose the shortcut tab 3) click advanced,
and 4) check the box to have it request alternate credentials to run
under. This avoids the too common security blunder of logging on and
working as a "root" user, but does maintain the issues of granting
priviledges to a process/program.<br>
<br>
This. of course, does not help if you are not lucky enough to have an
admin account...<br>

<pre wrap=""><!---->As has been pointed out the nature of colinux requires
Administrator access. This is the nature of Windows security
and is not a colinux issue. I don’t see how anyone that has
admin access to their box would find this a problem. To
put it another way: those who do not have admin access do
not have admin access for a reason. I reckon most admins
would not like the thought of people being able to run
a linux box inside their otherwise `secure` environment.
/tongue in cheek:
I am looking forward to a whole new generation of
'worm machines'. Virtual linux boxes with a small
footprint that deal doom to Windows, all running
as a hidden service. Maniac laughter etc.
