There's a new problem: In the same code
security.cc: set_process_privileges()
the call to AdjustTokenPrivileges() behave different:
On setting SE_RESTORE_NAME and SE_BACKUP_NAME rights, GetLastError()
returns
ERROR_SUCCESS in winsup-990303 and
ERROR_NOT_ALL_ASSIGNED in winsup-990430.
As a result, it's impossible for admins, to chown to another user in
winsup-990430 :-(
Is anybody willing to help?
