Hello everybody, I'm using cygwin 1.3.22 and need some help.
I'm trying to change the user (coming from the localsystem account) and tried several ways. - the "runas" utility (windows xp) does prompt me for a password. redirection via eg. "echo password| runas /user:guest cmd.exe" shows that runas gets the password, but tells always that it is wrong. (yes I know, that echo sends the spaces between the last character and | - that's why I have none). I even tried using a 'perl -e "print 'password'" | runas ...' - but that didn't work either. - su (cygwin version) doesn't work - has not been rewritten for windows authentication. - su (utility from microsoft, IIRC resourcekit or similar) works, but needs the password. - login works beautifully, I do not even need the password. But: there seems to be a difference between login and su(ms-version) or runas. Trying to run the microsoft office setup program shows problems with login, which are not there with runas or su. I checked that - the correct registry hive was available as HKEY_CURRENT_USER, - the user and group memberships were correctly set, - I even purged the environment and "imported" (via a set > file.bat, text-editing, and "call"ing this file.bat) an "original" from this user. But there is still some difference, which I don't find. Can somebody help me please?? Any ideas welcome. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
