Running the latest version:
$ cygcheck -c cygwin openssh csih
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
csih 0.9.8-5 OK
cygwin 1.7.34-6 OK
openssh 6.7p1-2 OK
When I run
ssh-host-config -y -w XXXXX
I get this:
*** Query: Create new privileged user account 'WX64LG\cyg_server'
(Cygwin name: 'cyg_server')? (yes/no) yes
*** Info: User 'cyg_server' has been created with password 'XXXXX'.
*** Info: If you change the password, please remember also to change the
*** Info: password for the installed services which use (or will soon use)
*** Info: the 'cyg_server' account.
*** Warning: Expected privileged user 'cyg_server' does not exist.
*** Warning: Defaulting to 'SYSTEM'
Even though it successfully creates the account, it refuses to use it.
I believe this is because of the following code in
csih_service_should_run_as()
if csih_privileged_account_exists "$csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME" 1>&2
then
# it already existed before this script was launched
echo "$csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME"
return
elif /usr/bin/getent passwd "${csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME}"
>/dev/null 2>&1
then
# we probably just created it
echo "$csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME"
return
else
# a failure somewhere
csih_warning "Expected privileged user
'${csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME}' does not exist." 1>&2
csih_warning "Defaulting to 'SYSTEM'" 1>&2
echo "SYSTEM"
return
fi
I am on a machine in a domain. /usr/bin/getent passwd cyg_server
returns nothing:
$ getent passwd cyg_server
Even though it exists:
$ net user cyg_server
User name cyg_server
Full Name Privileged server

The command completed successfully.
Running it through strace, I see it's looking for DOMAIN\cyg_server, and
not the local account.
