I want to run certain programs under the guest account that need certain rights. I cannot find any information on how to set permissions for one single program (like setting permissions for a daemon on linux). Is this even possible? Thanks. A student knows little about a lot. A professor knows a lot about little. I know everything about nothing. Re: Single process priviliges Matt Newman31-Jan-04 6:08 Matt Newman 31-Jan-04 6:08  Is it an NT service, or just a regular program? If its just a regular program just right click on it and click Run as, its right below Open. If its an NT service you can change the account it will run under in the services control panel (found under administrative tools). Its under the log on tab for the service properties.

But I don't want other users to type in the administrators password. Exemple: When a user logged on as 'Guest', it runs a program, the program should have administrator priviliges by default. When you use the runas program, you'll have to type in the password of the specified user over and over again.

I think there is away to progmatically set the user it is running as, but I have never done it. Hopefully someone who has will respond.

The original question was 'Can I run a program with SETUID on', translated from UN*X-speak to Windows-speak. I believe the answer is no, you cannot. To impersonate another user requires the other user's password. RunAs is the Windows equivalent of 'su'. There is no equivalent of 'execute as owner' in Windows. You could, programmatically, using SSPI, create an impersonation token, but again, that requires the user's credentials (guess how RunAs works?). It would be difficult (and foolish) to make available the password to an application without also running the risk that it would become widely available, not to mention the difficulties of keeping it in step with any password changes (although password notification would be one mechanism). Steve S Problem Tomcat sessions Under IE after installed VS.NET dje_jay28-Jan-04 7:37 dje_jay 28-Jan-04 7:37  Hi! For an another project, i need a Tomcat running. But since i installed VS.NET, i've problems with my sessions in my JSP pages... (Only under IE - and in the lan too). Perhaps it's about the web.xml(in tomcat)... But i can't find witch parameter to change... Does anyone have an idea? Thanks Delfosse Jérôme Add-in PCI IDE Card Michael Martin26-Jan-04 15:15 Michael Martin 26-Jan-04 15:15  I have GIGBYTE GA-7VKMLS[^] motherboard which has the standard two IDE ports. They are both currently full with the following hardware - Primary Master - Maxtor 6Y120PO ATA-133 HDD Slave - Seagate ST380021A ATA-100 HDD Secondary Master - Lite-on XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM Slave - Lite-on LTR-52327S 52x CD-RW I have been finding that there is a bit of slowness when accessing the hard drives that I think may be caused by conflicts on the primary IDE channel. Plus I have an Imation LS-120 drive that has been sitting shrink wrapped on the shelf for the past 8 months looing at me. Which of course I want to put in but don't really need too. So I have been thinking about buying a Skymaster PCI/IDE ATA-133 add-in card (sorry can't find a link anywhere). I have the money in my pocket now and so obviously want to go get it now, but thought I should pass this by the Code Project gurus before I do. Note I bought one of these to put in a computer at work that could only see 64GB of a new 80GB HDD I bought. Haven't gotten around to installing RedHat 9 on it yet but the initial hardware setup seemed to go very well. My plan is to setup the hardware in the following way - Onboard Primary Master - Maxtor 6Y120PO ATA-133 HDD Secondary Master - Seagate ST380021A ATA-100 HDD <edit>This was meant to be a HDD and not a DVD-ROM</edit> PCI Card Primary Master - Lite-on XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM Slave - Lite-on LTR-52327S 52x CD-RW Secondary Master - Imation LS-120 Anyone see any hidden dangers I can't? Or anyone out there with experience trying something like this who has mastered the problems found? <edit> After buying the card I decided to look more carefully at my case. It only has a spot for one FDD that has access to the outside world. So this means removing the standard FDD and replacing it with the Imation LS-120 drive. The BIOS supports the drive and booting from it and all. But thinking about it leads me to believe I would have to connect it to one of the IDE ports on the MB. Anyone agree with this belief? </edit> Michael Martin Australia "I suspect I will be impressed though, I am easy." - Paul Watson 21/09/2003 Re: Add-in PCI IDE Card Matt Newman27-Jan-04 4:53 Matt Newman 27-Jan-04 4:53  Michael Martin wrote: I have an Imation LS-120 drive that has been sitting shrink wrapped on the shelf for the past 8 months looing at me. They still make those? The only problem I can see with your setup plan is you went from 2 HDs and 2 Opticals to 1 HD and 3 Optical.

I just stuffed up. The whole purpose of my idea is to put the two HDD's on seperate IDE channels to see if the slowness I am experiencing is caused by IDE conflict. I really can't believe I checked that post twice for mistakes, then modified it and checked it again and still made a glaring mistake.

I'm pretty sure I will be able to boot from the DVD-ROM or CD-RW that will be plugged into the PCI IDE card. I have the 80GB HDD plugged into it in the computer at work and the system boots from that HDD. So in theory the optical drives should still be bootable on my machine.

Most likely a config problem where a group isn't specified, or is specified by name but doesn't exist, since that probably maps to -1 when looking up the name. I did know this stuff once, then got sucked into the MS world.... Steve S Are There Any DNS Gurus Out There? Roger Wright25-Jan-04 18:17 Roger Wright 25-Jan-04 18:17  Since my server has bitten the Big One (as chronicled in my Lounge post) tonight, due to an unrecoverable error starting the Directory Service, it's looking as if I'm in for yet another complete reinstallation of Win2K Server. Before I start I'd like to clarify a few things about DNS, since it's so central to Active Directory, and since mine has never worked right. Years ago I registered a domain name, and I've always hosted it on my own PC for development use. I've always assumed (incorrectly, I now believe) that this domain name must also match my Windows domain name when setting up a server. A conflict happens when I install Win2K, as it insists upon creating a root SOA DNS record for the domain, even though that root is maintained by my Internet domain registrar. The root question (sorry about the pun) is: Does my home network domain name have to be the same as my registered Internet domain name? Can I simply call my home network MyPlace - with no extension - and build my DNS tree from there? It seems to me that this would allow me to set up my DNS to ignore the world and listen for requests only on my internal interface, while at the same time allow me to host my own Internet site on IIS using my registrar as the SOA DNS server. If this is a trivial question, I apologize, but having only Microsoft docs to guide me, it's nearly impossible to figure out what they mean when they say 'domain' in any particular context. Any guidance would be a great help... Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl - you've just lost your turn..." [sigh] So true... Re: Are There Any DNS Gurus Out There? Matt Newman26-Jan-04 10:55 Matt Newman 26-Jan-04 10:55  I just set my AD DNS to newman.local That behavior seems to be default on 2k3 Server, but it keeps your external and local queries sperate.

Roger Wright26-Jan-04 12:28 Roger Wright 26-Jan-04 12:28  That's a good sign! If I have to resort to rebuilding this thing again, I'll give it an unregistered domain name and see what happens. I assume that since I can direct DNS to listen only on the internal interface that it will never know the difference.
