Re: Trouble starting ipc-daemon as a service

Thanks for the info, Jason.

Though I had managed to change the user permissions indirectly through
Service Manager, I was interested in the ntrights tool as something that
might help in automating the install process I am working on.  When I look
at the command options, however, I'm not sure there is an option
corresponding to "Log on as a service":  here are the options given in the
command help for ntrights:

NTRights.Exe - Beta Version by Georg Zanzen
Grants/Revokes NT-Rights to a user/group
usage: -u xxx  User/Group
       -m \\xxx  machine to perform the operation on (default local machine)
       -e xxxxx Add xxxxx to the event log
       -r xxx  revokes the xxx right
       +r xxx  grants the xxx right
valid NTRights are:
  SeCreateTokenPrivilege
  SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
  SeLockMemoryPrivilege
  SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
  SeUnsolicitedInputPrivilege
  SeMachineAccountPrivilege
  SeTcbPrivilege
  SeSecurityPrivilege
  SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
  SeLoadDriverPrivilege
  SeSystemProfilePrivilege
  SeSystemtimePrivilege
  SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege
  SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege
  SeCreatePagefilePrivilege
  SeCreatePermanentPrivilege
  SeBackupPrivilege
  SeRestorePrivilege
  SeShutdownPrivilege
  SeAuditPrivilege
  SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege
  SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
  SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege

Does one of these cover permissions to "Log on as a service" ?

See the README:

    http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/postgresql-7.3.3.README

Specifically, the following:

    3. Grant the "postgres" user the "Log on as a service" user right:

        # cmd /c secpol.msc # [3] [4] [5] [12]

    [snip]

    [12] On Windows XP Home, there is no built in way to assign user
    rights -- use ntrights instead.  This tool is available from the
    Windows 2000 Resource Kit or
    http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/ntrights.zip.
