Product: Wine Version: 1.7.44 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: ntdll Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: eternalsquire@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
I rebuilt latest WINE 1.77.44 on ThinkPad laptop running on 32-bit Anti-X Version 5 Beta 2.
DAZ3D 4.8 (PRO free limited time beta) cant start it's private Postgres as it sees Wine accounts as admin. Note line 18269. NtReadFile,NtWrfile (privilege check kluge) or NtQueryTokenProcess are cause. Like to downgrade privilege for username 'postgres' only. Where shall I patch?
If I can fix this with your help, DAZ3D free promotions will be instant Platinum. They're Gold already but for the Postrgres, but it has a backup obsolete database so COULD do without, but even as a hack distribution I could make more people than you can ever know very happy, including myself. happy.
I saw the existing reports on Administrative privilege problems. I know you believe having all processes running as Admin from WINE for simplicity, but Postgres is the one product justifying an exception, and that goes double when DAZ3D built it proprietary without source. WINE has to give way here because no one else will.
I won't ask you to find and fix the bug. I just need some of your expertise on WINE (no internal software documentation!!!) knowing what to look for and zooming in on the root cause, or worst case, put in a root kluge. I'm a retired software designer and systems programmer.
