Correct. It does not on regpatch, afaik. > > Try this patch (untested, but based on what regtree does). Won't work.

If you load a hive with -F you cannot patch it. A simple python script will work, however.. something like this: >---< sys.path.append(samba_python_path) from samba import registry import samba.getopt as options # Open the hive lp = sambaopts.get_loadparm() creds = credopts.get_credentials(lp) hive = registry.open_hive(hivepath, lp_ctx=lp, credentials=creds) # Mount the hive to HKEY_CURRENT_USER reg = registry.Registry() reg.mount_hive(hive, registry.HKEY_CURRENT_USER) reg.diff_apply(patchfile) >---< Regards, Wilco Baan Hofman -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
