csih (cygwin-service-installation-helper) provides a library of shell
functions that can be used by other cygwin packages that provide servers
and daemons. It can assist in various service installation tasks, such as:
* identifying the underlying Windows OS
* detecting whether a "privileged user" exists and what its name is
(that is, a user account with enhanced privileges necessary for
some services. These may include, among others:
SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
SeCreateTokenPrivilege
SeTcbPrivilege
SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight
SeDenyNetworkLogonRight
SeDenyRemoteInteractiveLogonRight
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeServiceLogonRight
* creating a privileged user if one doesn't already exist (assuming the
caller has permissions to create new users, of course)
* creating "normal" users
* obtaining the (localized) name of well known accounts (Guest,
Administrator)
It is currently used by inetutils(iu-config, syslogd-config),
sspi(sspi-config), sysvinit(init-config). csih should not be used
directly; instead, config scripts like the ones mentioned above should
'source' the csih script, and then use the functions provided.
Changes (since unreleased 0.1.1-1)
======================
* added utility: 'winProductName' which obtains the exact
operating system name (with finer granularity than `uname')
Currently used only to distinguish between vista and server2008.
* New system id function: csih_is_exactly_vista(),
csih_is_exactly_server2008
* Protection against evaluating $0 when invoked by login shell
Changes (since unreleased 0.1-1)
======================
* added utility: 'getAccountName' which obtains the (localized) name
of well known accounts
* New system id function: csih_is_2k(), csih_is_xp(), csih_is_vista()
* New function: csih_invoke_helper
invokes utilities in /usr/lib/csih/
* New function: csih_get_localized_account_name
Given an WELL_KNOWN_SID_TYPE enumeration value, uses getAccountName
utility to obtain the localized name associated with the account
* New function: csih_get_guest_account_name
Shortcut using csih_get_localized_account_name for Guest account
* New function: csih_guest_account_active
returns true if Guest account is active, false otherwise
* -src package reorganization
