[coLinux-users] Networking and run-as-service user account issues

[Jason A. <ja...@ha...>]

Hello,

I'm running 0.8.0 with a custom genkernel-built kernel, upgraded from
0.7.3 (actually the first snapshot that didn't require XML
configuration), upgraded from a version number I've since forgotten.
(This image has been running for a while).  The host is WinXP Pro.

I'm now experiencing a phenomenon in that I need to have
colinux-daemon run as my personal account in order to have network
access (tuntap).  When launched from the command line, the network
devices connect just fine.  When launched as a service, all of the
relevant daemons appear to be present and running as SYSTEM, but the
coLinux system doesn't detect the network devices, though it otherwise
boots the image.  I reconfigured the service from the Windows
management console to run under my account instead of SYSTEM, and it
boots fine, though I haven't gone the extra step of trying to get the
service to start on system boot, whereupon I expect I still need to
add NPF and PCAP service dependencies.

I'd like to get this running as SYSTEM again... what am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Jason
