Hi Brian...

Installing the service as a specific user works, and I have used it that way 
for a long time. However, to do that I add rights to the users to log on as 
a service. Given that there has been questions from time to time about what 
rights and how to set them, I wondered if giving cygrunsrv the ability to 
change users would reduce this. I can live with things as they are, I 
thought it would be a usefull addition.

It would be a significant learning curve for me, so I wanted to see if there 
was interest and/or someone who was willing to implement it before 
embarking.

Thanks,

...Karl
