I tried the above script change on a XP domain member machine and
with csih_FORCE_PRIVILEGED_USER set to yes. It works, it's just a
bit bumpy:
*** Info: This script plans to use 'cyg_server'.
*** Info: 'cyg_server' will not be able to log on interactively, but will only
*** Info: be used by registered services.
The message is incorrect.
*** Query: Do you want to use different name? (yes/no) no
mkpasswd (273): [2221] The user name could not be found.
I'm not sure why is mkpasswd is called here, but it's called with -l
only so it can't find the domain account. Can this test be skipped
if the user has been directly taken from /etc/passwd?
*** Query: Please enter the password for user 'cyg_server':
*** Query: Reenter:
*** Info: The sshd service has been installed under the 'cyg_server'
[...]
Btw., there's a test for the administrators group in /etc/passwd.
This test is not necessary. The only reason to have the admins
group in /etc/passwd is to print file ownership correctly. It doesn't
have any other value.
Thanks,
