One last bit of diagnosis. In my earlier email, I claimed that the
displaying of UID 400 instead of SYSTEM was solved after running
cygserver-config.
Well, I got a little muddled. I finally got back to the original system
that I experienced the problem on (now perhaps not really so much a
problem as I thought. I'll elaborate).
The attachment is a log of commands that I executed that highlights the
problem very clearly. You will see that after running *exim-config* (not
cygserver-config), the Cygwin services correctly display as uid SYSTEM,
and not 400.
Looking at the exim-config script, I am totally bewildered how this
could have had any effect on the problem. It looks quite tame (in terms
of editing rights, etc...). Perhaps someone might have better insight
into this.
I am now also not so sure that the processes showing UID 400 was really
a problem in the first place. In my earlier email, inetd was not working
because of an unrelated problem. I am actually trying to reproduce the
problem now, and just ascertain if there was a *rights* problem
associated, as it did very much appear to me to be earlier.
Regards,
Shaddy
