Strange, I replied to this from my work email and it did not show up
here...

Anyway, on Win2003 the access to the %systemroot%/system32/cmd.exe
file is limited, normal users have normally no permissions on this
file.

When you execute the loginfo command CVSNT will try to launch a
cmd.exe session since your command looks like a shell command and it
fails for non-admin users.

You can do one of 2 things:

Compile a program tha does what you want and call it from the loginfo
line like so:

ALL c:/data/scripts/myloginfohandler.exe %{sVv}

or

copy the system cmd.exe file from system32 to the CVSNT program
folder. This way the copy cmd.exe will be the first one CVSNT finds
and it will possibly work.
