Hi,
I'm trying to use the samba4 registry tools for server-side editing of
HKCU (ntuser.dat) on a Debian Etch samba 3 server.
I was very pleased to see that backporting Debian experimental's samba4
package was very easy, so now I have a backported-to-Etch registry-tools
package to start experiments :
- regshell -F ntuser.dat works, one can manually add, remove, modify
keys and values. But this is not really suitable for batch process
- regtree -F ntuser.dat works too,
- regpatch -F ntuser.dat patch.reg doesn't load the ntuser.dat (I
verified with strace, it is not opened ). It looks like the -F option
is silentely ignored . The .reg file is correctly parsed.
Did I missed something ?
It looks like the file option is not used, so regpatch defaults to local
registry, wich doesn't exists, as i'm using regpatch standalone
What about something like that ?
if (remote) {
h = reg_common_open_remote (remote, ev_ctx, cmdline_lp_ctx,
cmdline_credentials);
+ } else if (file != NULL) {
+ start_key = reg_common_open_file(file, ev_ctx, cmdline_lp_ctx,
cmdline_credentials);
} else {
h = reg_common_open_local (cmdline_credentials, ev_ctx,
cmdline_lp_ctx);
}
But the problem is that start_key is a reg_key struct, and
reg_diff_apply needs a reg_context struct, so start_key has to be
"mounted" over a predefined key, passed by the user ? maybe by an option
: -K, for example :
regpatch -F ntuser.dat -K HKEY_CURRENT_USER patch.reg
Thanks for your comments, ideas,
Denis
