Re: Seteuid "operation not permitted" error when using LSA for sshd

[Mark Pattie <markpattie@gmail.com>]

Thanks for responding so quickly.

In the security log I can see it has been assigned the privilege
SeTcbPrivilege. Security log entry:

Special privileges assigned to new logon.

Subject:
	Security ID:		BUILDSERVER\cygwin_sshd
	Account Name:		cygwin_sshd
	Account Domain:		BUILDSERVER
	Logon ID:		0x12c1c4

Privileges:		SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
			SeTcbPrivilege
			SeSecurityPrivilege
			SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
			SeLoadDriverPrivilege
			SeBackupPrivilege
			SeRestorePrivilege
			SeDebugPrivilege
			SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege
			SeImpersonatePrivilege

In User Rights Assignment it has the following privileges:

Act as part of the operating system
Adjust memory quotas for a process
Logon as a service
Replace a process level token

Thanks,
Mark
