1.7.2-1: Problems with regtool and cyglsa.

[David Rothenberger]

I'm having two problems with cygwin-1.7.2-1:
 * regtool get returns "Error (2): The system cannot find the file
   specified."
 * cyglsa appears to break by system

I'm using Windows XP SP3. I upgraded to cygwin-1.7.2-1 and then ran
cyglsa-config, which failed because of this problem:

% regtool get
'/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa/Authentication
Packages'
Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified.

The result was the Authentication Packages value was set just to
"c:\cygwin\bin\cyglsa\cyglsa.dll". I fixed this in regedit so the
value was "msv1_0 c:\cygwin\bin\cyglsa\cyglsa.dll" and then
rebooted. This is when the fun began.

After reboot, the system completely misbehaved. It took a long time
to get to the login prompt. Login was very slow. Sound was
disabled. Network drives were not connected. The task bar never
appeared. I could not view entries in the Event Viewer. Fortunately,
I was able to Windows-R to run regedit and remove cyglsa from
Authentication Packages. My system was fine after reboot.
