win32utils devel - Feb 2004 - win32-etc cvs

Hi all,

I''ve got the beginning of win32-etc 0.2.0 checked into cvs.  This
includes a
new sub-module called Admin that includes the add_user, delete_user, and 
change_password methods.  I eventually will add a config_user method as 
well, plus whatever else I feel like tossing in. :)

One issue I''m having is with the change_password - no matter what I
try, I
always get "invalid password".  I tried with straight C as well, to no
avail.  Anyway, I was hoping someone could take a look at the code and see 
if there''s something obvious I''m missing.

Also, I''m not real clear on when I should be casting LPCWSTR types to
WCHAR
using MultiByteToWideChar().  One thing I did notice is that if you add a 
user as a WCHAR, you have to *find it* that way as well, so I''m a
little
concerned.

Help, ideas, suggestions welcome.

Dan

I tried your code in cvs.
After I added AllocWideLString to etc.h, it worked fine and I changed my
password successfully.

BTW, I will commit first version of the win32-mmap tomorrow.

Oops - forgot to commit that.  I think I forgot to commit the
test_admin.rb script as well.  I''ll do that tonight.

I didn''t try changing my own password, but rather I created a
"foo"
user, then tried to change that password, but it didn''t work.  I was
afraid to try my own. ;)
