[cvsnt] problems running CVSNT under Vista

[Franck de Bruijn]

Hi,

 

I have been a long time happy user of CVSNT. Recently I bought a new server
with Windows Vista installed. Unfortunately I  cannot get CVSNT to work. I
got the control panel to work (the 'asInvoker' trick).

 

However, when I try to login with 'cvs login' I get the following error:

 

C:\Windows\System32>cvs login

Logging in to :pserver:piet at localhost:2401:/cvsrepo

CVS Password:

Fatal error, aborting.

cvs [login aborted]: admin: Switch to user failed due to configuration
error.  Contact your System Administrator.

 

C:\Windows\System32>

 

The server log shows the following:

 

09:40:41:   -> Tracelevel set to 0.  PID is 5548

09:40:41:   -> Session ID is 15ac488ad4f90603

09:40:41: S -> SuidGetImpersonationToken returned 00000005

I have been fiddling around assigning privileges to the 'cvsnt' process, but
to no avail. At one stage I got it to return 554 after
SuidGetImpersonationToken, but then it would fail at the NtCreateToken call.
Somehow I am not able to assign the privilege 'SeCreateTokenPrivilege' to
the service.

 

Possibly I am totally on the wrong track, so I really hope there is someone
out there that can help me.

 

Thanks in advance!
