We're updating our servers to a newer version of cygwin (1.7.15) from previous 1.7 version and in this version the install of cygrunsrv (V1.40, Apr 25 2012) fails to correctly prompt for a user password even though -u <username> is being specified.
It seems like cygrunsrv maybe checking for an "interactive" session and incorrectly determining its not as in our case we are running the cygrunsrv via ssh e.g.
ssh "cygrunsrv ...."
We know that this worked correctly in cygrunsrv V1.34, Mar 18 2008.
Bug introduced recently?
After inspecting the code for cygrunsrv and adding some debug I've determined this isn't a bug in the util but in cygwin's getpass function which I believe may have been changed recently by Corinna Vinschen, after googling around.
Regards Steve
