I am currently planning on fixing our User Management
code. Before i
do i'd like some advice.
First, We need to decide on some folder names for User Profiles. I'd
recommend a "ReactOS Users" folder or equivalent. This doesn't
interfere with Windows nor older versions of ReactOS.
Second, I'm beginning to understand enough about MSGINA/WinLogon/and
the log on process in general that i could probably implement a basic
form of user authentication. However, this will mean that ROS will
end up asking for a username/password every time it boots...shall i
implement this now and maybe add an #if 0 to skip over it? Or shall
we use some sort of auto login functionality. (like windows, but the
implementation won't be the same, i'm unsure about how windows
accomplishes it)
One possibility: Make sure the ability to "auto login" as a user is also
implemented, and give an option during ros setup to enable it (for now
anyways).
Eric Khol has done a good job with alot of the
security related stuff,
but there is soooo much more to be added, and alot to be changed. (As
previously mentioned here and discussed on IRC, Windows does NOT USE
environment variables in the registry. The stuff is hardcoded,
registry is set up the first time the user logs on.)
