Subject: permission problems (and more)
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 20:43:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040414204303.90583.qmail@web42003.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
Running cygwin (on Windows 2000) for a few months, and
finally decided that I wanted sshd and cron activated.
Logged on as administrator and did:
cron:
cygrunsrv -I cron -p /bin/cron -a -D
sshd:
run the ssh-host-config script and answer the questions (I
read several tutorials that all said about the same thing)
I did answer "tty ntsec" in response to the question about
the CYGWIN environment string (instead of going through the
environment variables string of system properties - and I
noticed that it did not show up).
When I rebooted the machine, neither of these would start
(they both do appear in the service list, though). The errors:
The cron service failed to start due to the following error:
Access is denied.
The CYGWIN sshd service failed to start due to the following error:
Access is denied.
I have a rough idea of the problem (I don't think I have
the right permissions on the necessary cygwin files).
Can someone tell me:
1. Who or what (service? system?) needs which permissions
to make these work, and on which files?
2. Does some way exist so that I can start and stop these
as a regular user?
3. Does any documentation exist on what permissions files
should have (and can I recover from my present situation
where I own most of the files as a regular user)?
3a. Does some way exist for a regular user (I know that "su"
doesn't work) to get access to edit important cygwin files
without having to log off and long in as administrator?
4. When I finally get sshd working, can I log in as a domain
user (and if so, how do I differentiate between a domain user
and a local user when logging onto the machine)?
Thank you so much for your help.
