I'm on Windows 7 (64Bit), with local admin rights. My first attempt to install the cron services, failed like this:
.... Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) yes Error in openPolicy (LsaOpenPolicy returned 0xc0000022=STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)! .... I thought that maybe I have to do this as administrator. I therefore opened a mintty by running it as administrator, and executed cron-config again. This time, indeed, the error message does not occur anymore. However, after entering my user id and Windows password, I got the error message: .... Do you want the cron daemon to run as yourself? (yes/no) yes Please enter the password for user 'rofischx': Reenter: cygrunsrv: Error installing a service: CreateService: Win32 error 1057: The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified. .... Now I'm absolutely sure that I entered my password correctly (I tried several times, always the same effect), and the user name is also correct. What else could be the problem? BTW, the command 'id' shows: uid=437575(rofischx) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=10513(Domain Users),0(root),544(Administrators),545(Users) Ronald -- Ronald Fischer <rona...@eml.cc> + If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, + and the bus is interrupted and the interrupt's not caught, + then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. + (cited after Peter van der Linden) -- 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
