[cvsnt] Re: Patch proposal: $Author substitution with cygwin sshd and RSA keys

[Markus Kuehni]

Hi

So here's the proposed patch for win32getlogin()

Again, I can't test/build it as I don't have MSVC7 (see original post).

Thanks,
Mark

It's better to patch win32getlogin as it's a win32 specific problem.
I like the idea of checking for "SYSTEM" as it's better than previous
solutions.
