Hi,
First please find attached a simple patch that fixes a problem I
encountered running ssh-host-config with the --debug option.
Pretty simple. Without redirecting the output of csih_stacktrace() to
stderr, then (3.5.4) Command Substitution of functions that call it will
run into problems. And the one that I encountered was this one:
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1147:csih_mktemp ()
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1148:{
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1149: csih_stacktrace "${@}"
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1150: $_csih_trace
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1152: local __umask=$(umask)
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1153: local rval
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1154: local tmpdir
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1156:
tmpdir=$(csih_writable_tmpdir) || return 1
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1158: umask 0077
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:1159: /usr/bin/mktemp
--tmpdir="${tmpdir}" "$@"
tmpdir will be filled with stacktrace output from the
csih_writable_tmpdir() call, and mktemp will fail.
Further, there is definitely a bug, at least for me, with running
ssh-host-config on Vista (32 bit, but that shouldn't matter) in a
non-domain environment.
The script obviously confuses the form of username construct to use at
various points. I encounter the following error:
*** Info: This script plans to use 'cyg_server'.
*** Info: 'cyg_server' will only be used by registered services.
no
*** Query: Create new privileged user account 'LIBRA-VW\cyg_server'
(Cygwin name: 'libra-vw+cyg_server')? (yes/no) yes
*** Info: Please enter a password for new user libra-vw+cyg_server.

*** Warning: Host configuration exited with 1 errors or warnings!
*** Warning: Make sure that all problems reported are fixed,

And I'm sure the problem is that this well-intended change to the script
fails on the assumption that LOGONSERVER is always populated. It isn't
for me on Vista.
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2884: # This test succeeds on
domain member machines only, not on DCs.
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2885: if [
"\\\\${COMPUTERNAME,,*}" != "${LOGONSERVER,,*}" \
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2886: -a "${LOGONSERVER}"
!= "\\\\MicrosoftAccount" ]
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2887: then
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2888: # Lowercase of USERDOMAIN
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2889:
csih_PRIVILEGED_USERNAME="${COMPUTERNAME,,*}+${username}"
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2890: fi
cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:2891: fi
I fixed this by modifying the test to check LOGONSERVER is not empty:
if [ -n "${LOGONSERVER}" -a "\\\\...
Can this be fixed in the next release?
