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 -- Chuck ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
