mkdir under Win98

[Jerome BENOIT]

Bonjour:

It seems that `mkdir' behaves strngely under Win98:
1] it works fine when the command is typed onlie;
2] sometimes it doesn't work when it is used in a (bash) script.

Please note that cygwin installation is uptodate.

Any idea ?

Thanks,
Jerome BENOIT

Re: mkdir under Win98

[Jerome BENOIT]

By checking my script, I have just realized that
the strange behaviour comes from somewhereelse:

let us assume that dummy.tar.gz is an archive file of the directory
`dummy',
if I do under Win98:
1] mkdir -p dum
2] ln -s dum dummy
3] tar -zvxf FOO/dummy.tar.gz

then the directory dum is removed.

The step 3] worked fine a few months ago.

To quickly fix it, I do:
3p] tar -kzvxf FOO/dummy.tar.gz

Did I miss something ?

Thanks inadvance,
Jerome BENOIT

Re: Problem with "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts"

1.
This is from ExtUtils::Embed::ldopts:
my $libperl;
if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
$libperl = $Config{libperl};
}
else {
$libperl = (grep(/^-l\w*perl\w*$/, @link_args))[0] || "-lperl";
}

It seems that it doesn't work as it should.
I have patched this for now (attached), I'll look to get this in perl
included if it is still broken in bleadperl.

$ perl  -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
 -s  -s -L/usr/local/lib 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a 
-L/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE -lperl5_6_1 -lcrypt

Alternative: create a symlink libperl.a -> libperl5_6_1.a

2. Cygwin Perl is built with -s flag, that strips the binaries, if you want
to have symbols in your module you will need symbols in perl, that means
you will have to rebuild perl yourself with symbols, that is: change nothing
at the source and do: ./Configure -Doptimize='-g' which turns on DEBUGGING.
(Note that Cygwin Perl is also build with '-Dmultiplicity').

I really don'y know why the '-s' flag is passed twice here.
Probable because there are several flags involved (ldflags & ccdlflags)

3. I didn't add /usr/local/lib to the linkline, it is done somewhere automagically.

You may change the values in Config.pm.
ldflags=''
then you get:
$ perl  -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
 -s  /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a 
-L/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE -lperl5_6_1 -lcrypt

ccdlflags=''
$ perl  -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a 
-L/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE -lperl5_6_1 -lcrypt

but as stated above I don't know if it is sufficient, maybe you need to
rebuild perl to get the symbols.

I fetched the same package here yesterday and installed it, and it installs ok
and is already running.

Try to fetch again (1.3.6-6 now).

This is probably my ignorance of NT/W2K security coming through, but
when I run things as "LocalSystem", I can't kill them either with "kill"
(I get "Not owner") or with W2K's Task List ("Access Denied").

How do I kill processes that I've started that got "promoted" to
LocalSystem?

inetd weirdness on w2k

[Justin Simms]

Hi. I'm experiencing a weird problem in which inetd is not serving telnetd 
and ftpd (or anything else) when started as a service, but seems to be 
working when run from the bash prompt in debug mode (/usr/sbin/inetd -d). I 
believe I've followed all the instructions for setting this up properly, the 
global CYGWIN variable is set to ntsec and cygwin1.dll is in the global path.

When inetd is run as a service two confirmation messages appear in event 
viewer, followed by a separate error for each network service specified in 
/etc/inetd.conf. There error messages in event viewer state "ftp/tcp: unknown 
service." and so on for each service.

Any advice appreciated! Thanks,

Justin

file ownership incorretly displayed

[Gene C. Ruzicka]

it seems that file ownership is often not displayed correctly.  for example,
if
i'm user1 and i type "ls -l" in directory /home , the system says that ALL
user
directories belong to user1 .  note that user1 need NOT be an administrator.
but
cygwin seems to obey the access permissions consistent with the correct
ownership.  for example, user1 can't cd into the directory /home/user2 even
though the ls command says that that directory belongs to user1.

what explains this behavior? is it a bug or some peculiarity of the
software?

It isn't installed by default, run setup.exe and click on the 'view' button
to get the full list.
bzip2 is somewhere at the beginnig, click on skip in the middle pane several
times to look which version is the latest (I have installed 1.0.1-6).

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of OpenSSH in cygwin/latest to 3.0.2p1-1.

This is mainly a bugfix release.  It solves the "OpenSSH UseLogin
Environment Variable Passing Vulnerability" as described on

http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3614

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.  The, run setup and answer all of the questions.

Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka
cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a
reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Germany,
ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is
usually pretty good.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

You might want to review the FAQ and the User's Guide on permissions, etc.
If you still have a question then, send it to the list with details on
what you're doing, what you're seeing, what you think it wrong, and the
output of cygcheck -s -r -v.

Hi,

How can be used variable in makefile that contains spaces?

I need something like this:
MYDIR = C:\Program Files\Mydir

But when I refer to MYDIR for example as include dirs like -IMYDIR I've got
error messages.
Make don't understand (I think)that is one string "C:\Program Files\Mydir".
I tried "C:\Program Files\Mydir",
'C:\Program Files\Mydir', C:\Progra~1\Mydir but didn't help.

Thanks for any help

Re: kill all_applications with one kill?

[hongxun lee]

I can't get 'shutdown' installed.
The 'shutdown' command should be included in the 'shutdown' package? but i
ddin't see this package among those i have downloaded this afternoon. I
checked all the mirror sites in North America, and 2 in UK, none of them
includes that package.

Another question, does Cygwin include an Ada compiler? Thanks

cvs pserver authentication frustration

[Geoff Soutter]

Hi there,

I've just spent a day mucking around with CVS pserver mode under cvywin
trying to get it to work. I succeeded in getting inetd set up, and getting
CVS running under it.

(I added this to inetd.conf

cvspserver stream  tcp  nowait  root/bin/cvs
cvs -f --allow-root= pserver

and I added this to C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services

cvspserver   2401/tcp)

However, I can't seem to get the authentication to work.

I always get the following message:

cvs login: authorization failed: server devserver rejected access to
 for user 

I have consulted google and the mailing list archives in order to find a
solution. I see people have asked similar questions before but never
recieved a reply.

I've tried all kinds of authentication options: for example, I tried using a
real nt user, and creating users in CVSROOT/passwd. Neither options worked,
even when I used blank passwords. The FTP server authentication works ok, so
its not my system setup, presumably.

Has anyone got CVS pserver working under cygwin? Any hints for how to get
the authentication working? Or, perhaps it's known to be broken?

Cheers

Geoff

Not entirely true. I have replied on occaision, but I get tired of 
answering the same question over and over.  The content of those replies 
was: "I have not tested pserver functionality.  AFAIK, pserver does not 
work on cygwin.  If you manage to get it to work, please post to the 
list how you did that,including configury and patches (if needed)"

I believe that cvs in pserver server mode will have problems with 
switching user context; I have added no windows-specific code to enable 
seteuid() to work, so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work. 
Patches gratefully accepted.

Or, you could get sshd working, and use CVS_RSH=ssh on the remote 
machine...and then *cvs* would be run as a local process on the 
repository host; ssh would handle the network stuff.

"Known to be broken" is probably the closest description.
