I am also having problems getting the inetd services to run. Due to constraints poised by my employer, I guess, I'm having basic problems meeting the requirements: > If you don't start inetd as service under LocalSystem but under > another account, you have to [make sure] that that account has several > user rights set in the user manager resp. local/domain security > policy mmc snap in: > "Act as part of the operating system" > "Replace process level token" > "Increase quotas" > "Logon as a service" > Note that administrators do not have all that user rights set > by default! - I'm afraid I don't know what "mmc snap" means - ah, from google I get something about microsoft management console tools ... (I hope I won't have to become a Certified Microsoft Engineer...) - I see that, under the control-panel -> services ->+ cygwin-inetd I can choose between system account and 'this account'. Default is system account. Why would I use "this account"? Why would I use the system account, or what problems lurk for me there? - if I try to use "this account", I must enter a password. Where does this come from? My own password does not seem to work. I probably won't ask these questions, except that my employer has got the security turned down pretty tight, so trying things out isn't very satisfactory. > > For all application started via NT/W2K service manager under > LocalSystem account, the following restrictions apply: > > - The environment variable CYGWIN must be either set in the system > environment to be active from start on or you can set CYGWIN thru > the registry: > Under the key HKLM\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options > create a REG_SZ (String) named like the full DOS path to the application, > eg.

My id is (clearly) uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(Kein) groups=513(Kein) - How do I get it to be otherwise? Will I have to login in twice, once to nt and once to cygwin? - I read somewhere that I need to put my RID in the GCOS field of a password entry for me. I couldn't find the RID in my registry. Where can I find it?
