Re: logon as a service


Hi All...

The service is specific to a single user. I want to launch a ssh-agent for the user at system start time, so that it can hold the keys for the user even during logoff. It works fine on Windows-2000 Professional.

If I run the service as SYSTEM, how do I start a process for a particular user?

Thanks,

...Karl

You can't on XP Home. Use the SYSTEM account for the service.
