Nope, that can't be correct. First of all, the impersonation token saved by cygwin_set_impersonation_token() is used for all subsequent set(e)uid calls for that user internally. Switching back to the privileged account and switching forth again is part of the design. You (Pierre) can check this by examining the impersonation token after logging in using e.g. telnet. You will find a logon SID in the token as well as being Advapi the source. It's the token given by the previous cygwin_logon_user() call. > Actually I am attaching what should be a fix, but it's only tested on > WinME. Feedback welcome.
