can not install xfree

[Marco Szabo]

Hello,

I´ve got a problem with xfree. (latest version, cygwin also the
latest version). I followed the Instruction but when I want to start
xfree with startx nothing happened.
The errors are:
xinit: Coonection refused(errno 111): unable to connect to X server.
xinit: No such process(errno 3): Server error

Re: stop cygwin sed adding ^M

[J S]

OK I think I know why I had this problem now. You're saying if my drive is 
mounted in text mode then sed will insert ^M at the end of lines.
This won't happen though if the drive is mounted in bin mode. Right?

In that case I have one more question. When I start cygwin as an 
administrator, my c drive is mounted as:

c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)

but if I'm logged on as a local user, it's mounted in text mode.
How can I change this as a local user to be mounted in binary?

Thanks,

JS.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-5

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of OpenSSH in cygwin/latest to 3.0.2p1-5.

This version is now using the POSIX regex API offered by the Cygwin
DLL beginning with version 1.3.7.  Therefore, the regex package isn't
needed anymore to build and run OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-5.


  OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-5 does NOT run with Cygwin versions prior to 1.3.7!!


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.

File mode judgement

[Wu Yongwei]

In the past, Cygwin seemed to judge whether a file is executable on a
combination of suffix and content. However, today when I reinstalled Cygwin,
I suddenly found that it no more did it. Now on a NTFS volume it depends
only on file attributes.

1) Is it a design change?

2) Is it possible to switch back to the old behaviour?

Thank you in advance. Reply to this mail address, please.

Best regards

Wu Yongwei

Yes. It is much faster to look at file permissions first, and content
second. Thats what unix does. The change is activated by CYGWIN=ntsec.

> 2) Is it possible to switch back to the old behaviour?

AFAIK, no. It shouldn't be needed anyway, just use chmod to set the +x
bit on any executables you have.

I wouldn't call it "calibration" is just a quick call to the old
gettimeofday() and, yes, it's done only on the first call (the value is
retanied in a static variable)... so maybe you have 1-2 usec lost on the
first call.

You misunderstand the role of the MB_CAPABLE definition in newlib.

It could have been set by a previous DLL.  If you install
UNIX/for all it should only set the system cygdrive to
binary but older DLLs have set the user setting to a
standard textmode mount point by accident on the first
use.

Got it... I'll send one ASAP (-_- snail mail... when will a signed e-mail be accepted

BTW: IANAL but the base for that gettimeofday() function is taken from Tim Prince's
message and the file is "Copyright (c) 1994-1998 Larry McVoy." as the source reads...

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Advance notice: Remove regex package on 2001-02-07

[Corinna Vinschen]

Since Cygwin 1.3.7, the Cygwin API contains the POSIX regex calls.

For that reason, the "regex" package is no longer needed, except other
packages depend on it.

The only package in the Cygwin net distribution which was dependent of
"regex" was OpenSSH.  This isn't any longer true with OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-5.

For that reason, I will remove the regex package in 2 weeks from today.

AFAICT your crash is in your program. Possibly this is due to the C++
compiler being built without a threading model (Anyone recall if this
has been fixed or not?).

Cygwin itself doesn't seem to be causing the crash, although it's
strange that the program exits early with no warning :|... I'll look
into that aspect.

umm my first thoughts when i saw this problem was - run out of memory bug
... needs to increase his limit in the registry...

map is Not small ... compared to map at least...
and theres going to be one for each thread...
lots of memory being used ...

but its only a guess ... ;)

That's not easily possible, as far as I know.  However, the texmf-tiny

If you keep having trouble with this, try using wget (now in contrib)
to download the files by hand.  Wget can continue downloading
partially downloaded files (-c switch).

Hmm, what does setup.exe do with partly downloaded tarballs?

Ah, good.

That's not good.  What is your $VARTEXFONTS set to?  Could you try:

   echo $VARTEXFONTS
   VARTEXFONTS=$HOME/texmf dvips -o x.ps sample2e.dvi

Yes, this should be ok; although unsetting it:

unset TEXMFCNF

should also work.  Any other variables that get set by fpTeX?

Thanks for your report,

AW: STATUS+-AF8-ACCESS+-AF8-VIOLATION Exception

[KRISTOF . DOFFING]

Of course it crashes.
writing to a string literal +ACo-is+ACo- an access violation.
BTW: This piece of code is a violation of any good taste
and should crash on any system.

(depends on whether the string constant is stored on the data segment or in
the code segment).

Nevertheless, this is not really a cygwin topic (ASAIK).

your program is incorrect. "a b c" string is a constant and can't be
overwritten. complier places it in read-only segment, hence the
exception in strcpy. Please refer to any C language manual for rules
of proper string manipulation.

yes, but if i understand things correctly, Christophe was talking
about passing file descriptors between processes by means of AF_UNIX
sockets. btw, "Subject:" implies this :).

this is done on unices via msg_control (or msg_accrights) field in msg
structure. and unices ensure that the process which receives the
message using recvmsg can use the descriptor for all kinds of file
operations. in the case of cygwin, the receiver may get the value 3 in
message packet, but won't be able to use it in "read (3, buf, sizeof (buf))"

rxvt problems on win98

[Scott Evans]

I have Cygwin installed on two Win98 machines -- identical installs.
I've used rxvt as my shell window since I found out about the port
(well before it was included in the distro).  However, on one of my
machines, when I resize the rxvt window, bash pegs the CPU and stops
responding.

This doesn't happen on my Win2k machine at work (same Cygwin install).

The rxvt I have reports v2.7.2:
 -rwxr-xr-x1 gse  544141824 Mar 20  2001 /usr/bin/rxvt

The bash shell I have reports:
 GNU bash, version 2.05.0(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin

I guess these are both older versions, but has anybody else seen these
problems?

That's exactly what I was talking about.
This is done under Linux or AIX by using a cmsghdr structure and some CMSG_*
macros, which does not appear to be present in Cygwin.
I found a piece of code that doesn't use all this stuff. Could it work (I
haven't tried yet) ?

int sendfd(sockfd, fd)
int sockfd;  /* UNIX domain socket to pass descriptor on */
int fd;  /* the actual fd value to pass */
{
struct iovec iov[1];
struct msghdr msg;
extern int errno;

iov[0].iov_base = (char *) 0;  /* no data to send */
iov[0].iov_len  = 0;
msg.msg_iov  = iov;
msg.msg_iovlen   = 1;
msg.msg_name = (caddr_t) 0;
msg.msg_accrights= (caddr_t) &fd; /* address of descriptor */
msg.msg_accrightslen = sizeof(fd); /* pass 1 descriptor */

if (sendmsg(sockfd, &msg, 0) < 0)
return( (errno > 0) ? errno : 255 );

return(0);
}

Christophe.

mkpasswd - cannot contact Domain Controller

[J S]

Looking at the code then, it seems to bomb out in main when it gets to:

if (print_domain)
  {
if (domain_name_specified)
  rc = netgetdcname (NULL, domain_name, (LPBYTE *) & servername);
else
  rc = netgetdcname (NULL, NULL, (LPBYTE *) & servername);
if (rc != ERROR_SUCCESS)
  {
print_win_error(rc);
exit (1);
  }

The problem is with the call to netgetdcname which returns the name of the 
primary domain controller. This works on my computer (which is DHCP enabled 
and seems to configured for a Primary WINS server).
My colleague has a fixed IP address, but I can't see any Primary WINS server 
configured when I issue an IPCONFIG /ALL.
Is the PDC not supposed to be configured for a fixed IP address do you know?

Re: rxvt problems on win98

[Scott Evans]

Okay, I just did an update on all my packages and specified "reinstall"
for rxvt, just to be safe.  The behavior no longer exists, so that's good.
However, I now remember why I was using an older version of rxvt: the
one that is distributed with Cygwin is the "with a console" version
(note the window that briefly flashes on the screen before the actual
rxvt window comes up).  When Steve did his original port, he also
did a "no-console" experimental build, which is nice because the
flashing window isn't there, and it seems to work fine otherwise.
(see http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html)

I tried reverting back to this version of rxvt and everything seems
great -- no flickering and no CPU-peg upon resizing.  So I guess the
problem was somewhere in bash(?).

I may have missed this discussino, but has anyone considered using the
no-console build of rxvt in the distro?

This isn't supported.  Control structure passing doesn't work at
all with the current implementation.

Btw., the above source code won't work on Linux, too.  First of all,
the msg_accrights and msg_accrightslen members doesn't exist in the 
msghdr struct (they are called msg_control and msg_controllen) and
second, file descriptors in one process have no meaning in another
process, except it's parent or child of the calling process,
coincidentally.  That's somewhat dangerous.

Binutil compatibulity

[Sava Zxivanovich]

Hi.

I am working with PowerPC 401 D2 - in deed PLX IOP480.

I have installed GCC chain that uses binutil 2.9.1, gcc 2.95.2 for
powerpc-elf.
Due to fact that as in that version do not support one operand - tlbwe,
I have to upgrade to one I hope does support - 2.10.1. I would not like
to use 2.11, I had quit a bad time with it (and GCC 3.0.1).

My question is if binutil 2.10 does support operand tlwbe (PowerPC
Embedded Environment, PowerPC 401D2), would there be any problem if I
configure binutils as ppc-eabi (I suppose yes, I would like just to
check that) and would it be any problem with gcc 2.95.2 (I suppose not,
but you never know).

Why am I asking all this? Well, we are very near to a point where we
would go with commercial compiler. Actually, this is a last cry before
that.

Kind regards,
Sava

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cURL 7.9.3-1

[Kevin Roth]

cURL has been updated to version 7.9.3-1.

As with the previous version, curl has a run-time dependancy 
on openssl-0.9.6b-2 or later (as this was the first release 
to include DLLs). Since I can't "require" a specific build of

More ouch!  I just read a detailed description of the descriptor
passing magic via AF_LOCAL sockets in U*X systems. I see now that
I didn't even know what you were talking about.

It *could* be implemented.  

First we would have to implement the control message passing at all and
when it's available we could perhaps even implement descriptor passing
using the DuplicateHandle() function.

Volunteers?

setregid and setreguid

[J S]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile eterm on cygwin, but running into problems because it 
needs setregid and setuid. I noticed that these were in the cygwin package 
testsuite and so I tried to compile that but the make file wouldn't work. 
Are there any binaries around for setregid and setreguid?

To call DuplicateHandle() you must have a process handle of the peer.
i don't know how can we do it properly without cygwin daemon.

btw, i wonder if descriptor sent through AF_LOCAL socket whould remain
valid after sender closes it? and what about "after sender terminates"?

gettimeofday/PerformanceCounter overhead

[Lapo Luchini]

> As long as the calibration only occurs when someone is using
> gettimeofday, not on every cygwin1.dll load, then that sounds fine to
> me.

At the end of the mail there is some benchmarking to show PerformanceCounter
use is not that "slow" even in its setup (which is done on it's first call).

Columns are:
-original: call to the gettimeofday() by DJ as found in
winsup/cygwin/times.cc (which uses GetSystemTimeAsFileTime)
-new: overall use of the new gettimeofday()
-new_init: a version that has a "bug" in "initialization" so that
initializes itself at every call
-new_old: a version thar has a "bug" in detection of Performancecounter
presence to force use of original call
all times are in seconds per 1 millions of consecutive calls
(e.g. can be considered roughly microsecond per call)

The following consideration arise:
-on 98 QueryPerformanceCounter is 12.5 times faster
-on 2000/XP QueryPerformanceCounter is 2-3 times slower, except 2 cases in
which is 7 and 9 times slower
-in the typical case QueryPerformanceCounter take 5-10us at first call and
2-4us at other calls
-even in the worst case QueryPerformanceCounter takes "only" 11us

This sound to me as the new function would be good... what do you think of
it?

My only real concern is that as it is it has an "absolute" uncertainty of
15ms on the time measurement (but only 2-4us on deltas).
An approach to have some kind of syncronization would be to poll original
gettimeofday() until it changes value and to "sync" on that "edge", but this
would slow the first call from 5-10us down to 1-16ms, which is way too much
IMHO.

Yes, why not.  Did you have a look into Robert's daemon so far?

We're talking about Cygwin processes not native Windows processes,
so we should be able to handle that (more or less) correctly.
What if the sender is blocked until the daemon got a descriptor
copy?  Then the sender can do what it wants.  Just a draft.

That wouldn't make much sense since only setuid() and setuid() resp.
setgid and setegid() are implemented in Cygwin currently.  Shouldn't
be too hard to patch eterm to use these functions instead.

Hmmmthis is disquieting.  Let's assume that Bob has built, on his 
machine,  the "HandyMedicineDatabase" application which depends on 
cygregex.dll.

He can now no longer install HMD on a new machine, unless he carries 
around a copy of the regex package -- or he is forced to recompile his 
app so that it doesn't depend on cygregex.dll.

Perhaps you can release a new regex package that contains only the DLL, 
and not the development links.  However, this brings up the question: 
how long to we need to keep these old DLLs around to support (possible) 
user-compiled packages?

E.g. when can the libreadline4 package be removed?  No existing *cygwin* 
package depends on it, but user-compiled stuff might...Ditto 
"cygregex.dll".

If you look a bit closer upon cygwin testsuite, or run it at least
once, you see that setregid and setuid tests are known to fail.
Exactly because these functions are not supported.

Asked and answered in the last few days on this list.  

rxvt doesn't *require* libx11.dll.  It just loads it if the DISPLAY 
variable is set to something other than '0'.  See the email archives for 
more detail if you're still curious.

It doesn't require libx11.dll.  It can USE libx11.dll under certain 
circumstances.  Basically, it dynamically loads (using dlopen()) either 
libX11.dll or libW11.dll depending on the value of the DISPLAY 
environment variable.  Try this:

'rxvt.exe -display :0 -title rxvt-noX -e bash -login'

and you'll get the "native Windows, nonX" behavior.

I'm running a very current cygwin on MSW2K.

The bold text in less is a very unreadable color the way I have things set 
up. I have my window set to a very pleasant light color background and the 
bold text in less (man etc.) is white.

It seems that less uses termcap and my the terminal type is cygwin. But try 
as I might I cannot figure out how to change the colors.

It seems to me that it ought to be very easy to set the colors for the 
cygwin terminal (or console, or whatever). Is there a configuration file 
which specifies which color is used for which text display attribute? Or is 
the escape sequence to set the bold attribute actually setting a color? Are 
the attribute colors specified in the source somewhere? How does it work?

Welcome to my life.  I get about one or two a day of these to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Often I spend quite a bit of time arguing with people that if they
actually follow the instructions at the page they'll be able to
unsubscribe themselves.  In 100% of the cases that I've come across,
the person was just not really reading the instructions.

And, even though there are quite a few mailing lists on
sources.redhat.com, guess which group of mailing lists get the most
clueless "Plese unsuscribe!!" messages?

socket/fdopen/exec problem

[Pierre A. Humblet]

The attached file demonstrates a problem with a
combination of socket, fdopen and exec. It was observed
on Win98/ME/NT4/2000. Latest everything.
Please cc: me directly. 

A server is listening on port 999 and forking worker 
processes. It can be restarted by kill -HUP. Under some 
conditions, new connections stop being accepted and 
netstat -a shows two listen on port 999.

The demo is based on a widely ported program (exim)
where the problem first surfaced. It appears to be related
to the use of fdopen(). 

To reproduce:
1) Compile and run in a window.
2) In another window, 
  a) telnet localhost 999 then quit
  b) kill -HUP pid
  c) netstat -a shows two listen on port 999
 New connections may or may not be accepted, and
 mayhem can occasionally be observed with netstat.

Yes, all sockets are closed. No, playing with the 
"close on exec" bit or with "linger" does not seem
to help.

Resolved my SSH password problem...but what's the explanation?

[Benn Schreiber]

I installed the latest cygwin stuff the other day, and was unable to get
ssh to work.  Specifically, after setting up host keys and my user keys,
ssh-ing to myself would give me a password prompt.  Quite inconvenient
and annoying!
 
After futzing around with this, I discovered that running sshd from a
bash window would result in it working.  AHA!  Must be a file protection
problem of some sort.
 
Further searching finally led me to 'chown SYSTEM .ssh/authorized_keys2'
and voila!  It works now.
 
I'm pretty sure that I've set up previous versions of cygwin on other
systems and did not have to do this.
 
So, my question is.why did I have to do this now?
 
In any event, I'm running fine now, and hopefully if anyone else is
seeing this, this note will be useful.

putting a cygdrive directory in /

[Benn Schreiber]

That was a GREAT suggestion, it really cuts down on the typing,
especially with filename completion.  A final tweak that would make it
just a little better would be if a future cygwin update moved cygwin.bat
and cygwin.ico out of / into some other directory (/etc maybe?)

Thanks and keep up the GREAT work!

Environment var PATH broken in 1.3.9 - spaces NG

[Richard Kandarian]

I'm using MS Visual C++ executables installed in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin

and for some reason they all have filenames which are all caps.

With tcsh in 1.3.8 some of the commands will complete and/or be found 
either upper or lower case (e.g. cl.exe) and others will only complete 
and/or be found if typed uppercase (e.g. NMAKE.EXE).

Now in 1.3.9 the PATH environment variable in tcsh has all the spaces in 
the above path replaced with ':' and I have to type in the full path to all 
the Visual C++ stuff. The path (not PATH) in tcsh, which is a translation 
of the PATH variable, does not have the spaces replaced with ':'.

I guess I need to translate my .login and .cshrc to something bash can 
read... sigh.

This is a output of the mentioned profiler. It say about a minimal time of about 1-2 
us. May the difference be
caused by the cygwin.dll overhead ? (We're using the native functions, not 
gettimeofday()).

As far as I understood our licensing model, the HMD application
is either OSS or it's internally used.  Either way, Bob has the
sources handy.  I don't see a problem.

I'd think it's your decision for libreadline4.

libregex was always just a workaround.  Having regex functionality
in libc (libcygwin) is what most people (and packages) expect.

Re: Environment var PATH broken in 1.3.9 - spaces NG

[Michael A Chase]

When I start either tcsh or bash from the MSDOS prompt with your MSVS
directory in the path, $PATH is translated correctly.  Are you adding the
directory to your path after tcsh has started?

If you are adding the MSVS directory in .login or .cshrc, you need to be
sure to quote properly or tcsh may be taking the spaces as separators.

I don't actually have MSVS, so I can't confirm or deny the problem you are
having with varying cases.  I have seen other messages that report problems
with directory specifications that contain spaces.

Sorry but I don't see what you've tested.  The patch should address
your problem with the access rights of the impersonation token.

http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple should be changed from:

If you are on list foobaz, send a mail note to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

to:

For example, if you've accidentally subscribed to the cygwin mail list,
send
a mail note to

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Alternatively, is it perhaps possible to configure ezmlm-idx to move the
information from the List-Unsubscribe to be included in the appended sig
like bit at the bottom? (It's a shame more email clients don't support the
list features.)

Also, maybe we should make it (a lot) harder to actually subscribe! How
about if to subscribe you had to answer a simple unix question?! This could
pre-emptively weed out some of the clueless users! ;-)

Isn't that just the usual effect that sockets remain in TIME_WAIT
state for 2MSL seconds?

Re: Environment var PATH broken in 1.3.9 - spaces NG

[Richard Kandarian]

The path to MSVC is set in the registry (i.e. Control panel > system >

tcsh inherits the environment from bash which inherits it from cmd.exe 
which gets it from the registry somehow.

Sorry I didn't mention that.

If I execute 'tcsh -l' at a cmd.exe prompt the behavior is the same. (I 
didn't know I could do that! I thought I needed bash to read /etc/profile 
to get everything setup.)

I'm busy switching to bash anyway...

The attachment has a printout of the security info of the impersonation

things seem to be as before your changes. 
If you want I can send you my token printing program.

It still sounds like you have something like a "set path=($PATH)" somewhere.

For the record, there were very few changes made between 1.3.8 and 1.3.9
and none of the changes had anything to do with environment handlin.

HELP! Running rsh non-interactvively

[norm]

I want to run cygwin's rsh non-interactively.

To get inetd working I found
http://www.adamswann.com/library/2001/Cygwin-Inetd.html and tried to follow its
advice.

 I did:

 cygrunsrv -I inetd -d "CYGWIN inetd" -p /usr/sbin/inetd -a -d -e
 CYGWIN=ntsec
 cygrunsrv -S inetd



 I was then able to telnet. ftp, and rsh interactively from a Linux box to a
 windows box (its name is "wad").  They all seemed to work very well, but
 they solicit a password.  I use the same login name on both computers.

But when I try:

rsh wad ls

I get:

 Permission denied

The Cygwin-Inetd.html site has some more stuff:

  Right-click "My Computer" and select Properties.  Click the "Environment
  Variables" button on the "Advanced" tab.  Add a new system variable...the name
  is CYGWIN and the value is "ntsec" (no quotes).  This tells Cygwin to use your
  Windows 2000 security.

  Add C:\Cygwin\Bin\ to the PATH system variable. (Stick it at the end,
  separated from everything else with a semicolon (";")).

  Run "/usr/sbin/inetd.exe --install-as-service".

  Reboot!

But it says to do that only if telnet and ftp don't work and I am afraid to do
anything that drastic if I don't have to to.

"man cygrunsrv" yields "No manual entry for cygrunsrv".  After
/usr/sbin/makewhatis, "man -k cygrunsrv" yields "cygrunsrv: nothing
appropriate".

I would very much appreciate any help.

Background:

I am a Windows beginner.

The Linux box is running Red Hat Linux release 6.2.

The Windows box is running Microsoft Windows 2000, 5.00.2195

I realize I am mixing two things. Seeing reused ports in netstat
isn't much of a problem in itself, as long as new calls can come
in. That's the OK case I see now all the time on NT. However the
problem I am chasing (on Win98) is that new calls are not accepted.
I will clarify and get back to you.

On my machine it's actually 1.74us, but I made the test on some machines and the 
result varies from 1.05 to 5.9us
(excluding a single machine for which it takes 11.45us).
That using my own profiles that uses the "adapted gettimeofday(), so it has a ilttle 
bit more of overhead to
divide it in the secs and usecs fileds.

Sure.  But I could *really* piss a lot of people off if I removed 
libncurses5 and libncurses6 and released libncurses7 instead (and even 
moreso if I release "empty" libncurses5 and 6 packages to force the 
deletion of preexisting cygncurses5/6 DLLs).

I don't think it's reasonable to assume that ONLY the packages 
distributed by the cygwin mirror system matter -- even after all 
"official" packages have migrated to the new cygncurses7.dll, "external" 
progs still might require cygncurses6/5 for a while.

Just because it's possible for Bob to recompile "HMD" doesn't mean that 
we as maintainers should arbitrarily and needlessly force him to do so.

Sure -- and I figure I'll keep it around for about 6 - 9 months. But 
I'll never release an empty "libreadline4" package -- that's just 
needless meddling with the user's system.


> libregex was always just a workaround.  Having regex functionality

Sure.  But Bob previously ported HMD to use -lregex, and now his binary 
requires cygregex.dll.  If he is distributing HMD (with sources, no GPL 
violations here) now he must immediately "un-port" and recompile -- 
because new users can't get cygregex.dll anymore.  I don't think we 
should be that dictatorial to folks who distribute derivative (but 
GPL-compliant) packages that piggyback off of cygwin.

To sum up: I think you should release "regex-4.4-3" that only contains 
/usr/bin/cygregex.dll -- and nothing else. (this guarantees that new 
packages cannot acquire a dependency on cygregex).  And then just let it 
sit for several months, so that the "Bob's" of the world have a 
reasonable amount of time to recompile their stuff.

newbie: terminfo compiled for Solaris?

[Kathryn Hargreaves]

It seems one would need a differently compiled terminfo file for Solaris
than for Linux, since the binaries have different byte orderings.  I'm
not really installing Cygwin, except on the Solaris side, so I don't
know if/how to obtain a file that will work on Solaris.

Much thanks,
Kathy

I concur.

Re: File mode judgement

[Wu Yongwei]

Thank you for so quick a response.

Now I see. I set the environment variable CYGWIN to "ntsec" when I was
testing inetd service. Now I unset CYGWIN and solved my problem.

No, it is not good yet while even the header files and text files installed
by Cygwin itself are regarded as "executable" on setup by default.

Best regards,

Wu Yongwei

Yes. It is much faster to look at file permissions first, and content
second. Thats what unix does. The change is activated by CYGWIN=ntsec.

AFAIK, no. It shouldn't be needed anyway, just use chmod to set the +x
bit on any executables you have.

CVS PServer problem

[Wu Yongwei]

I am running Windows 2000 and have configured inetd correctly -- that is, I
suppose so, because now I can access services like FTP and daytime. And
then, I

1) added cvspserver to the Windows Services file;
2) added "cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/cvs
cvs --allow-root=/home/cvs pserver" to /etc/inetd.conf;
3) created /home/cvs and executed cvs init for this directory;
4) created a /home/cvs/CVSROOT/passwd containing
"test:QFVdvse1GAVi2:Administrator";
5) restarted the inetd service.

Now I can see from netstat that port 2401 is listening. I set CVSROOT to
":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs" and I can execute a cvs login using
pserver. However, when I try "cvs import...", it always reports

  setuid failed: Not owner

Any ideas? (I can log in to FTP as "Administrator" or "anonymous" and
encounter no problems.)

Thanks and best regards,

Wu Yongwei

change in behavior of bash (recent or not)?

[Soren Andersen]

Hello,

I checked for previous discussions or announcements relating to this, did not find 
such (obviously, because I am writing).

Once again (as per other recent posts): I am using Cygwin on Win98 SE (sometimes). 
This msg pertains to this environment only, not to running on NT etc. Just to be 
precise. So, my Cygwin, now:

Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 1.3.9
DLL epoch: 19
DLL bad signal mask: 19005
DLL old termios: 5
DLL malloc env: 28
API major: 0
API minor: 51
Shared data: 3
DLL identifier: cygwin1
Mount registry: 2
Cygnus registry name: Cygnus Solutions
Cygwin registry name: Cygwin
Program options name: Program Options
Cygwin mount registry name: mounts v2
Cygdrive flags: cygdrive flags
Cygdrive prefix: cygdrive prefix
Cygdrive default prefix:
Build date: Mon Jan 21 12:48:41 EST 2002
Shared id: cygwin1S3

my bash: bash 2.05a-2.

I just updated bash along with Cygwin etc day before yesterday. Several months 
(approx 4) had elapsed since I last updated this particular Cygwin installation. 
Therefore this change -- if there is one -- may have appeared "long" before now.

The observation:
I have a script that runs from the 'STARTUP' folder when I boot W98, so that as soon 
as I have entered my Windoze 'login' I make sure that bash is going to know who I am -
- no, readers are not expected to understand what i am saying, I stated the purpose 
of the script first instead of the mechanism. To be concise I want to skip 
irrelevancies. The germane detail is .. this script is a one-line bash command in a 
Windows batch file that reads thus:

X:\Cygwin\bin\bash -c "echo -n WINSET USERNAME=`/bin/whoami.exe` 
>/cdv/c/_session_user.bat"

The file that is written ("_session_user.bat") is used later when I invoke an 
interactive bash login shell.

What is germane to my inquiry is the observation that when I booted Windows today my 
script ran as if I had invoked an interactive bash shell. The behavior had changed. I 
got Window resizing because i invoke Chuck Wilson's consize.exe from my 
'/etc/profile' file (which is executed -- if present -- anytime bash is invoked as an 
interactive shell, no?). This is how I was tipped off that the behavior had changed.

Before, the command to bash just executed cleanly and quickly and I was done (the DOS 
console window in which this stuff happens is visible for a few seconds and then 
gone). Now, unwanted stuff is unnecessarily happening, and I am curious why: is this 
expected behavior of bash given the invocation above (simply a flag '-c' followed by 
a command to execute)? Should it not (according to my expectations, which i am not 
saying are correct, but simply giving what is the basis of my inquiry): run as a non-
interactive shell?

To be sure i have updated my batch script with this invocation of bash:

D:\win98_Cygwin\bin\bash --noprofile --norc -c \
  "echo -n WINSET USERNAME=`/bin/whoami.exe` >/cdv/c/_session_user.bat"

(The line is not broken at "\" in my batch script of course: email limitations).

Running it seems to accomplish the desired control of bash's behavior.

Regards,
 Soren Andersen

SSHD problems on Windows 2000 Professional

[Wu Yongwei]

I am running the latest version (as of minutes ago) of Cygwin and
encountered problems of SSHD. I did not found answer in latest posts.

I used ssh-host-config to set up sshd. I installed sshd as service and used
the default "CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec". While it started perfectly for the
first time and was completely usable, the service even refused to stop. I
had to kill sshd.exe in task manager. And then it would not work until the
next boot.

I tried starting sshd from inetd. It was even worse. When I connected to it
from a remote box, there was no response at all. And then sshd.exe hung.
Stopping the service inetd would not stop sshd.exe. I could not even kill
it. I had to reboot the W2k box.

I also tried sshd.exe directly from Cygwin Bash. I would see the prompt for
password on a remote box when connecting to it, but the password could not
be accepted. It always reports "Permission denied".

Any help? (Reply to me, please.)

Thanks and best regards,

Wu Yongwei
