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)
* creating a privileged user if one doesn't already exist
(assuming the caller has permissions to create new users)
* creating "normal" users
* obtaining the (localized) name of well known account
(Guest, Administrator)
It is currently used by inetutils(iu-config, syslogd-config),
openssh (ssh-host-config, ssh-user-config), sspi(sspi-config),
sysvinit(init-config), and various others. 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.
This is maintainance release. It is specific for cygwin-1.5.
Cygwin-1.7-specific development of csih will continue with
versions 0.9.x and above.
