Domain accounts work fine. This is *so* weird. When I run the service under the cyg_server account, then the S4U logon for the local SAM user works as expected, even right after reboot. The weird thing here is that my cyg_server account is a domain account. What this has to do with the MsV1_0S4ULogon for a local SAM account beats me. The only explanation I have for that is that the service running under the domain cyg_server account constitutes some kind of "local login", so MsV1_0S4ULogon subsequently starts working. This cyg_server account does not necessarily require the "create token" permission anymore, of course. Big sigh here. With S4U I had hoped to catch two birds with one stone: - Getting rid of two old methods, cyglsa and "create token". - Dropping the requirement for the cyg_server account. But the old Systems like Windows 7 don't want to play nice. - On Vista and Windows 7 WOW64, MsV1_0S4ULogon isn't implemented at all, which required to keep the create_token method available - On Vista and Windows 7 MsV1_0S4ULogon does not work without some user logged in locally, even if it's just the cyg_server service account. Question is, what is a good solution? Reverting cyglsa as well to allow the old methods to work as before? This is the opposite of what I had hoped to accomplish :( Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer
