Hi,

First please find attached a simple patch that fixes a problem I
encountered running ssh-host-config with the --debug option.

Pretty simple. Without redirecting the output of csih_stacktrace() to
stderr, then (3.5.4) Command Substitution of functions that call it will
run into problems. And the one that I encountered was this one:

cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1147:csih_mktemp ()
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1148:{
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1149:  csih_stacktrace "${@}"
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1150:  $_csih_trace
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1152:  local __umask=$(umask)
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1153:  local rval
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1154:  local tmpdir
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1156: 
tmpdir=$(csih_writable_tmpdir) || return 1
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1158:  umask 0077
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1159:  /usr/bin/mktemp 
--tmpdir="${tmpdir}" "$@"

tmpdir will be filled with stacktrace output from the
csih_writable_tmpdir() call, and mktemp will fail.

Further, there is definitely a bug, at least for me, with running
ssh-host-config on Vista (32 bit, but that shouldn't matter) in a
non-domain environment.

The script obviously confuses the form of username construct to use at
various points. I encounter the following error:

*** Info: This script plans to use 'cyg_server'.
*** Info: 'cyg_server' will only be used by registered services.
no
*** Query: Create new privileged user account 'LIBRA-VW\cyg_server'

*** Warning: Make sure that all problems reported are fixed,
*** Warning: then re-run ssh-host-config.


And I'm sure the problem is that this well-intended change to the script
fails on the assumption that LOGONSERVER is always populated. It isn't
for me on Vista.

cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2884:      # This test succeeds on 
domain member machines only, not on DCs.
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2885:      if [ 
"\\\\${COMPUTERNAME,,*}" != "${LOGONSERVER,,*}" \
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2886:        -a "${LOGONSERVER}" 
!= "\\\\MicrosoftAccount" ]
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2887:      then
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2888:     # Lowercase of USERDOMAIN
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2889: 
csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME="${COMPUTERNAME,,*}+${username}"
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2890:      fi
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2891:    fi

I fixed this by modifying the test to check LOGONSERVER is not empty:

if [ -n "${LOGONSERVER}" -a "\\\\...

Can this be fixed in the next release?
