Re: support for using runas for pg

Hi,

I got a third party utility to run pgsql in non administrative users account and without prompting password. The utility providers ensure that the utility will work in NT. I used this utility for running pg8.1.1 and it shows me the following error with a prompt titled "ININTDB.EXE - DLL Initialization Failed" and the message "Initialization of Dynamic Link Library D:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.dll failed. The process is terminating abnormally". Before running this i had created new user named postgres without administrator rights. I tried by providing read & execute rights for the user postgres to Kernl32.dll, user32.dll & for the folder of pg that contains libraries and exe's. Then also it is showing the same error.

please provide me a solution for this. I had tested their utility by running other app same as i tested pg, then it works in NT.

As u mentioned in the previous mail /savecred is not working in Windows 2000. This utility will provides solution for this also.

Regards
Mohamed Fazil

use runas with /savecred the first time, and then it'll run without
prompting you for the password.

I've heard of thirdparty tools that did this, but I can't name one.
You'll be hard-pressed to find one that's supported on NT4 these days,
though, but there might be some around.
