Yes, skipping those tests would work for sure.
But is there an option to run tests, when possible? (i.e. determine if current cygwin user acts like root under *nix)

But is there an option to run tests, when possible? You mean that the tests should be run when running as administrator ? Perhaps Win32::IsAdminUser() is useful for determining that. See the Win32 module's documentation. Consider posting to the Cygwin mailing list (if you fail to receive a satisfactory answer here). Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Yes, Win32::IsAdminUser() is working right, seems it's the solution. I did not realize that this module available for Cygwin too. Thanks!	[reply]
