David Macek via Cygwin-patches 6867660301 cygwin: doc: Add keywords for ACE order issues
Windows Explorer shows a warning with Cygwin-created DACLs, but putting
the text of the warning into Google doesn't lead to the relevant Cygwin
docs.  Let's copy the warning text into the docs in the hopes of helping
confused users.  Most of the credit for the wording belongs to Yaakov
Selkowitz.

David Macek via Cygwin-patches 969c8392fe Cygwin: accounts: Don't keep old schemes when parsing nsswitch.conf
The implicit assumption seemed to be that any subsequent occurence of
the same setting in nsswitch.conf is supposed to rewrite the previous
ones completely.  This was not the case if the third or any further
schema was previously defined and the last line defined less than that
(but at least 2), for example:

```
db_home: windows cygwin /myhome/%U
db_home: cygwin desc
```

Let's document this behavior as well.

Corinna Vinschen e53373bbdb Cygwin: re-enable create_token for older systems
Under WOW64 on 64 bit Windows 7, MsV1_0S4ULogon appears to be
unimplemented, probably under Vista as well.  Re-enable
create_token method, to allow basic seteuid on W7 WOW64 and
Vista as well.

Corinna Vinschen 0fb497165f Cygwin: seteuid: use Kerberos/MsV1_0 S4U authentication by default
- This simple and official method replaces cyglsa and "create token"
  methods.  No network share access, same as before.

- lsaauth and create_token are disabled now.  If problems crop up,
  they can be easily reactivated.  If no problems crop up, they
  can be removed in a while, together with the lsaauth subdir.

- Bump Cygwin version to 3.0.

Jon TURNEY 5ea698c437 winsup/doc: Create info pages from cygwin documentation
v2:
Updated to use docbook2x-texi not docbook2texi, since source is now docbook XML.
Tweak DocBook XML so info directory entry has a description.

v3:
Use a custom charmap to handle &reg;

v4:
Proper build avoidance
texinfo node references may not contain ':', so provide alternate text for a few
xref targets

2015-06-22  Jon Turney  <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk>

	* Makefile.in (install-info, cygwin-ug-net.info)
	(cygwin-api.info): Add.
	* cygwin-ug-net.xml: Add texinfo-node.
	* cygwin-api.xml: Ditto.
	* ntsec.xml (db_home): Add texinfo-node for titles containing a
	':' which are the targets of an xref.

Warren Young 8142972d87 Modernized user guide, API reference, and FAQ generation. Overall
effect is to move away from DocBook SGML and DJ Delorie's doctool and
toward pure DocBook XSL.  (There remains just one use of doctool, and
we have plans for replacing it, too.)  See ChangeLog for details.
