cygrunsrv

[Karl M]

Hi All...

In testing out my keychain service on a new XP system, I was thinking about 
all of the questions
that have shown up on the cygwin@... list in the past about launching a 
service from a user-id other than SYSTEM. And...I was wondering how you(s) 
felt about adding the ability for cygrunsrv to change user-id before running 
the target application.

Are there any negatives to doing it?

It seems that the security is no worse than having XP store passwords for 
the user-id's of the services.

Other than using OpenSSH as an example, is there any other guidance you 
would give?

Or...Corinna...if it is easy, is this something that you would consider 
adding?

Thanks,

...Karl
