Hello, I am experiencing difficulties using the SU utility.
What am trying to do is the following:
From a service (running under SYSTEM account) I want to run SU to get a bash
shell script executed as a specific user. - When I do this on my Windows XP 32bit box, all is fine and SU runs my script as the user (I verified this by running "whoami" inside the script). - When I do the very same on my Windows 2003 Server 64bit box, then SU hangs forever and I assume it is waiting for a password. So why is this different behaviour on the two boxes? Where can I search for such a setting? I already checked that "/etc/passwd" has all the users of Windows in and correct (i.e. "mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd"). Both machines run only with local users, no domain. Any help is much appreciated! If more information is needed, just state. If there is a better way to do this task, then I am also open for other suggestions. Thanks and best regards, Frank -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
