Warning! Newbie issue - Impersonating a user on Win32

[Doug Glenn]

Thank you to all that helped me with this.

After diving into somewhat muddy and murky waters initially, it has 
finally cleared up.

The script in the Python cookbook (p257) works great providing that you 
already have the LoginUser in a group that has "Act as Operating 
system" privileges, Once the LoginUser has these rights, they can 
assign other rights to themselves as needed to run.

Although the documentation for the call does specify the caller needs 
the SE_TCB_NAME privlege, it says nothing how you are to obtain it or 
check for it.  Nor is it translated into its MS equivilent so it can 
found without some prior research.

I am sure the people writing the docs thought it was perfectly clear. 
And it was... to them.  <smile>  And now it is clear to me as well!

Again, thanks to all that helped, and for those lurking to find the 
answer to the same problem, I hope this answers it for you :) Thanks to 
Google and other search engines, now there is a thread to be found with 
the answer as well <smile>
