Hello,
we're deploying an unattended installation of Cygwin to some of our
testmachines. On goal is to have SSH access to those machines, so we put a
customizing script to "/etc\profile.d" which then runs at 1st start
involving the command "ssh-host-config -y -c "tty ntsec" -w
"$RANDOM_PASS"".
Every summer or so, we're used to update our package - again this year. But
all at once on systems with Server 2003, Vista or Server 2008
"ssh-host-config" now stops and requests the name of a privileged user
instead of as before simply creating a privileged user "sshd_server" with
the given password. After doing some checks we found that latterly
"cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh" is involved in the process. Why?
My personal opinion: If I give "ssh-host-config" the parameter "-y", the
process shouldn't be like:
*** Info: No privileged account could be found.
*** Info: This script plans to use 'cyg_server'.
*** Info: 'cyg_server' will only be used by registered services.
*** Query: Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no) yes
but like:
*** Info: No privileged account could be found.
*** Info: This script plans to use 'cyg_server'.
*** Info: 'cyg_server' will only be used by registered services.
*** Query: Do you want to use 'cyg_server'? (yes/no) yes
If a given user needs to interact with "ssh-host-config", he won't use
"-y". But he doesn't, above all "-y" shouldn't prevent it, right?
So what would be a cool solution for this problem?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with
kind regards
