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, 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 0.1.7-1) ====================== * explicitly set permissions on /var/[log|run|empty] and /etc. This simplifies code in most callers. * Better support for (pre-existing) domain accounts as privileged and unprivileged users. -- Chuck ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
