Bug in security.cc: The intent of open_local_policy() is to return an INVALID handle if the call to LsaOpenPolicy() fails. Unfortunately the failed call changes the value of lsa. The fix is obvious.
Breakpoint 3, open_local_policy () at /src/winsup/cygwin/security.cc:183 184 LSA_HANDLE lsa = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE; (gdb) s 186 NTSTATUS ret = LsaOpenPolicy(NULL, &oa, POLICY_ALL_ACCESS, &lsa); (gdb) p lsa $19 = 0xffffffff (gdb) n 187 if (ret != STATUS_SUCCESS) (gdb) p ret $20 = -1073741790 (gdb) p lsa $21 = 0x0 Question: is the Policy Object only accessible by administrators or is there some ACL that can be set? I was unable to find info on the Microsoft site. Suggestion In cygrunsrv.README, could you add that the user specified with -u must have the "Logon as a service" privilege?
