apt-dater-host for Windows Update Agent
=======================================

This scripts support the Windows Update Agent to search for updates on
MS Windows based hosts.

You need to have to install a SSH daemon which supports public key
authentification and allows bash like command line syntax.

Cygwin OpenSSH
==============

This SSH daemon is known to work with apt-dater. First install
OpenSSH with der Cygwin Installer. Open a shell and run:

$ ssh-host-config -y

This will generate a initial config, host keys and creates a
ssh service. To start the ssh daemon run:

$ cygrunsrv.exe -S sshd

Finaly you have to create a symlink or script in /usr/local/bin
which is named apt-dater-host and calls the apt-dater-host.cmd.


Since apt-dater uses SSH public key authentification, apt-dater-host
must be run as the SYSTEM user (SID S-1-5-18) to be able to search
for updates.

To be able to login via SSH as SYSTEM, edit /etc/passwd and add
a home directory:

SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18:/home/SYSTEM:

Create the .ssh directory in the home directory:

$ mkdir -p /home/SYSTEM/.ssh

And add your public key to the 'authorized_keys' file in the .ssh
directory.

Remember: SYSTEM has all kinds of dangerous rights,
sort of an uber-root account.
