Hi Zachary, 

 

I noticed one item on your list that might be relevant to a problem that I
am having with setting up remote-debugging between a host machine running
Windows 7 and a guest machine running ReactOS:

 

Security Controls

Implement support for user permissions based on Access Control Lists.

Benefits

This will allow separation of users into groups and better control over user
privileges in ReactOS. Security controls will then allow supporting multiple
users on the same system.

Skills Needed

Familiarity with Windows security and permissions models

 

See my post:

While trying to induce Visual Studio, running on a Windows 7 host, to show a
list of all running processes on a ReactOS VM, Visual Studio, is indeed,
communicating with MSVSMON.EXE, the server process on the ReactOS VM, and
even connecting to it. Then, suddenly, Visual Studio puts up a dialog box
that says that the IP address of the ReactOS VM is invalid, which is
obviously not true, because, concurrent with this error message, MSVSMON.EXE
shows in its log window that it just connected to the Visual Studio running
on the host.

 

I suspect that MSVSMON.EXE is trying to gain SeDebugPrivilege to one or more
processes running in ReactOS to which it is not entitled. When MSVSMON.EXE
receives an error code from one of the access control functions, it sends
error message back to Visual Studio. Visual Studio is caught off-guard by
this error message and gives a bogus explanation for failure.

 

Does ReactOS support the Authorization Functions
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375742(v=vs.85).a
spx> , and AdjustTokenPrivileges
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375202(v=vs.85).a
spx>  in particular? Does this explanation for the failure make sense?

 

Cheers,

Hi all,

Google will host its Summer of Code again this year. Let's try to get in
again after our successful participation in 2011!

Who's available to write up a new idea page along with the student guide?
Let's draft it in a Google doc again.
I believe that some more ideas can be added, i.e. tasks on Explorer-New now
that work has progressed on it. Others need to be removed, such as the
finished AHCI support for UniATA or my KD USB-to-Serial driver, which nobody
really understood ;)

Deadline is 18th March, so about 2 weeks to go.
