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 accounts (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. [[ cygwin binary utilities compiled using gcc-4.3.4-3 ]] [[ native binary utilities compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 and gcc-mingw-core-20050522-1 ]] CHANGES (since 0.9.3) ======================== o New function csih_call_winsys32() for invoking programs in C:\Windows\system32. o New function csih_writable_tmpdir() echos path to a temporary directory, using $TMP, $TEMP, $TMPDIR, $HOME, etc. o New function csih_mktemp() safely wraps /usr/bin/mktemp. o csih_sanity_check() deprecated (replaced by internal function). o csih_check_basic_mounts() deprecated (ditto). o New mutable variables csih_sanity_check_server and csih_required_commands[] for modifying the behavior of the internal replacement function for csih_sanity_check(). o All external applications (mkpasswd, expr, tr, sed, etc) are now called by their full path, to avoid conflicts in the presence of unexpected $PATH contents. o (internal): massive reorganization, changing the order of intialization. Required because some initialization requires calling external programs, and we now verify these programs are accessible first. -- Charles Wilson volunteer csih maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
