Currently I'm experimenting with version 3.0.7. I had been using cyglsa (in version 1.7) as a way to authenticate ssh connections, and that worked fine, much better behaved that the NtCreateToken mechanism. It looks like, in Cygwin 3, that cyglsa is not being used any more. I've read the ntsec document pretty closely (switching the user context), and there's no mention of cyglsa at all. I've looked in cygwin-ug-net/ov-new.html, and cyglsa is only mentioned as a new feature in 1.7 (from 1.5). I've done several google searches on cyglsa, and nothing has turned up about how or if cyglsa is being used any more. *-- question(s) --* Is cyglsa still available ? Presuming it's dead, was it removed because the new "Service For User Logon" feature of windows 2003 (and later) deprecated it ? Is there a thread in the mailing-list archive which mentions how this came to be ? thanks, *~ William* -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
