It can assist in various service installation tasks, such as: * identifying the underlying Windows OS * detecting whether a "privileged user" exists and what its name is (that is, a user account with enhanced privileges necessary for some services) * creating a privileged user if one doesn't already exist (assuming the caller has permissions to create new users) * creating "normal" users * obtaining the (localized) name of well known account (Guest, Administrator) It is currently used by inetutils(iu-config, syslogd-config), openssh (ssh-host-config, ssh-user-config), sspi(sspi-config), sysvinit(init-config), and various others. csih should not be used directly; instead, config scripts like the ones mentioned above should 'source' the csih script, and then use the functions provided. This is maintainance release. It is specific for cygwin-1.7, and will not operate correctly if installed under cygwin-1.5. For legacy cygwin installations, use csih-0.2.x. As cygwin-1.7 requires WinNT or better, csih-0.9.x will also report an error if used on legacy (Win9x) systems.
