Moin, I install for cygwin 1.5.25-15 openssh 5.1p1-10 on windowsXP as service with privilege separation. I have 'sshd_server' account in domain in groups 'Administrators, Domain-accounts and PasswordDropDeny'. (no idea what the last group is needed for, any clue?)
When I create /etc/passwd per 'mkpasswd -l -d' and then execute ssh-host-config, it warns that 'sshd_server' exists in /etc/passwd but not in local SAM, guessing it might be a domain account (which it is) and we should not worry about that for now but check later. At the end ssh-host-config calls a function "csih_check_user()" with "run_service_as" account as parameter, function defined in "/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh". The problem is now that "run_service_as" normally contains just the account name when 'sshd_server' is local, but when it is a domain account, then it contains the previously mentionend warning text, _the full text_. Inside the function "csih_check_user()" the parameter is passed to a 'grep' call, but the 'grep' fails on the warning text, producing an error. Thereafter in ssh-host-config some "chown" commands are tried with the broken "run_service_as" value, which naturally fails, too. The case "sshd_server is a domain account" isn't caught gracefully with the variable "run_service_as": the warning message should be diverted elsewhere, not used as value for the variable and a sensible default set instead. Just diverting all the "echo" statements in "csih_error_multi" to ">&2" is not enough I guess. What's the proper way to solve this? -- © Rado S. -- You must provide YOUR effort for your goal!
