[coLinux-users] Fix for problem when running coLinux as a service

[H. <oyv...@zy...>]

First things first: I love coLinux! Excellent work guys! :-)


Symptom:=20

- coLinux runs fine when run from the command line
- when running as a service, it starts fine, but it immediately quits.
No error messages or events seen in the event log.

Possible cause:=20

CygWin sets some funky security premissions on the files that it
creates(e.g. when bunzip2'ing the Debian image using CygWin).

CygWin + coLinux is a likely combination, hence this problem should be
somewhat commonly seen.

Solution:

- Strip all files/folders that coLinux touches of the "funky security
CygWin security premissions". This is what fixed the problem for me.

- Alternatively, running the service under the same user as created the
CygWin files, would probably work fine.

Proposed improvement to coLinux:

coLinux could log an event if it fails to launch(e.g. because it gets
access denied to root images/config files, etc.).
