Hi again,

I'm so sorry I didn't pick up on this earlier. Thanks for your
attention. If you have any ideas on the UID 400 problem, I'd still be
very interested to hear what was happening on that.
One last bit of diagnosis. In my earlier email, I claimed that the
displaying of UID 400 instead of SYSTEM was solved after running
cygserver-config.
Well, I got a little muddled. I finally got back to the original system
that I experienced the problem on (now perhaps not really so much a
problem as I thought. I'll elaborate).
The attachment is a log of commands that I executed that highlights the
problem very clearly. You will see that after running *exim-config* (not
cygserver-config), the Cygwin services correctly display as uid SYSTEM,
and not 400.
Looking at the exim-config script, I am totally bewildered how this
could have had any effect on the problem. It looks quite tame (in terms
of editing rights, etc...). Perhaps someone might have better insight
into this.
I am now also not so sure that the processes showing UID 400 was really
a problem in the first place. In my earlier email, inetd was not working
because of an unrelated problem. I am actually trying to reproduce the
problem now, and just ascertain if there was a *rights* problem
associated, as it did very much appear to me to be earlier.
Regards,
Shaddy
