So /etc/passwd AND /etc/group are re-created if /etc/passwd OR /etc/group
does not exist ;-(
Would be better to condition creation of /etc/passwd to it not being
present, and the like for /etc/group.

I only showed the function down to the first cutoff. If both files are
already present, the function returns immediately and the batch file isn't
opened. If either is present, the command to create that file isn't put in
the batch file.

It's the same on U*X. If you don't care for the permissions of your home directory you're out of luck. And rsh is a dangerous service anyway. If you don't want it, just remove the matching line in /etc/inetd.conf and use ssh.

Sure. Amazingly, the default setup from Miscrosoft is with Outlook and one user without passwd, who has administrator (and whatnot) rights.

However, it was funny to see, that `ntsec' works fine. Unfortunately you can neither set nor see the permissions in the GUI. But you can, using Cygwin.

It seems however, that XP (HE) doesn't respect execute permissions on directories, in some cases. Moreover, read and execute permissions in /cygdrive/c seem to be granted in any case. $ mkdir 400; echo 400 > 400/400; chmod 400 400 $ ls -ld 400 400/400; cat 400/400 dr2 fred Geen0 Mar 7 12:52 400 -rw-rw-rw-1 fred Geen4 Mar 7 12:52 400/400 $ cd 400 bash: cd: 400: Permission denied $ ls -l /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bak -rwx--1 tom Geen 18 Mar 7 12:55 /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bak $ cat /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bak Path=C:\WINDOWS; $ id uid=1009(fred) gid=513(Geen) groups=0(Iedereen),513(Geen),545(Gebruikers) $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount) Jan. -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien | http://www.lilypond.org -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

What's wrong? Hmm, ok, I assume you expect a `Permission denied' when trying to ls 400/400, right? This is not HE specific, it's default for all NT versions. It's a user right called "Bypass traverse checking" which is by default given to everyone! It means, when accessing a file, the system only checks your permissions on the file but not your permissions on the directories in the file's path. No chance to do that 100% POSIX compliant since it's not in the responsibility of Cygwin to change user rights. And we decided not to simulate that behaviour. Cygwin is already slow enough. > $ ls -l /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bak > -rwx--1 tom Geen 18 Mar 7 12:55 /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bak > $ cat /cygdrive/c/autoexec.bak > Path=C:\WINDOWS; > $ id > uid=1009(fred) gid=513(Geen) groups=0(Iedereen),513(Geen),545(Gebruikers) Ok, check the *full* permissions using getfacl.

Telneting/ftping to cygwin
I just did a compleat reinstall of cygwin from scratch on my win2k machine. Before I had it setup to allow me to telnet and ftp to my machine using cygwin. Now I am unable to. I have run inetd.exe --install-as-service and I have the cygwin variable setup as tty title glob ntea binmode. When I telnet in I get: [lbohm@YODA:/usr/doc/Cygwin] > telnet yoda Trying 192.233.225.228... Connected to yoda. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. Where yoda is the name of my win2k host. The above tells me that in.telnetd is running but that something else is stopping it. I do not see a hosts.allow or a hosts.deny anywhere.

Ok, thanks. Good to know that directory permissions on Windows NT are pretty useless. And no, it wouldn't make much sense to enforce POSIX compliance artificially, imo.

Re^2: xdvi runtime error
Thanks for your replay/advice . Let me share with you what I have found on my side: 1. Apparently, the heap_chunk_in_mb registry does not always tweak the memory default limit for cygwin. Many people report this issue and it actually happened to me as well. But, here's what I tried: increased the value to 512Mb (instead of 256Mb - what I wanted) and I finally got my 256Mb (sharp) increase. I guess I have to set it to double what I want in order to get it (?). 2. I have fixed one of my xdvi problems: the error "setsid: Not owner" is due to the fact that xdvi calls vfork(), if not instructed to do otherwise. Apparently vfork() is not supported and I fixed the problem by redefining vfork as fork. 3. Now, that I have increased the cygwin memory limit, xdvi goes to 256Mb and dies there, so I guess I was right about this abnormal run. I will try to follow the indication about fcntl(F_SETOWN) - thanks for the advice. I found the same xdvi problem reported on the XFree86 mail list - with no follow-ups. So, I'll keep digging. Thanks again, and if you find more related clues, please let me know. Nic.

And, I wouldn´t suspect something´s broken as I *just* installed cygwin from the internet (means updated - I hope update is ok, downloading everything twice would be no fun with isdn...) Well I could try it again but I´m - however - convinced that would be the same again, I didn´t change anything except putting the cygwin path in the PATH variable It´s just strange that the scripts don´t work, as if the environment "disappears" or whatever when starting a script But, eitherway, could you tell me if Postgresql will work on 98 (for me it´s a test/db-design period, no production use...) or if it´s not recommended since I´ve read that NT, W2K & XP are the only _supported_ platforms, and W98 isn´t but it may work...?

Well, all paths are working, but when running a script several things just a) can´t be executed or b)can´t be found. This would be strange, because in the shell itself it works...

Re^3: xdvi runtime error
You may be right. I was just looking to the memory eaten by the xdvi process as reported by the W2K's task manager. The crash was occurring at 128Mb of allocated memory, and now occurs at 256Mb. Thanks for this clarification, and thanks Corinna for the explanation about vfork(). I hope I will be able to cleanly run xdvi before becoming an "under the hood" expert. Thanks folks! Nic. >>1.

Hello again, Could it be that the 1st line in initdb: #!/bin/sh.exe doesn´t fit an i´ll have to write #!/bin/bash.exe instead? Please no, else I would have been stupid ;) Can´t test it right now, just wanted to post it as it may be important... I´m obviously feeling that i´ll have to replace it, but where does sh.exe come from then? I only installed bash..*strange*...or is it already mapped somehow to "bash.exe"?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-3.1p1-1
I've updated the version of OpenSSH in cygwin/latest to 3.1p1-1.
This is a major release. It fixes also a security problem which
affects all versions of OpenSSH up to version 3.0.2.
Important Changes:
==
- /etc/ssh/ now default directory for keys and configuration files
- ssh-keygen no longer defaults to a specific key type (rsa1);
use ssh-keygen -t {rsa,dsa,rsa1}
- sshd x11 forwarding listens on localhost by default;
see sshd X11UseLocalhost option to revert to prior behaviour
if your older X11 clients do not function with this configuration
Other Changes:
==
- ssh ~& escape char functions now for both protocol versions
- sshd ReverseMappingCheck option changed to VerifyReverseMapping
to clarify its function; ReverseMappingCheck can still be used
- public key fingerprint is now logged with LogLevel=VERBOSE
- reason logged for disallowed logins (e.g., no shell, etc.)
- more robust error handling for x11 forwarding
- improved packet/window size handling in ssh2
- use of regex(3) has been removed
- fix SIGCHLD races in sshd (seen on Solaris)
- sshd -o option added
- sftp -B -R -P options added
- ssh-add now adds all 3 default keys
- ssh-keyscan bug fixes
- ssh-askpass for hostkey dialog
- fix fd leak in sshd on SIGHUP
- TCP_NODELAY set on X11 and TCP forwarding endpoints
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.

This approach would solve the problems with huge domains. But here
with me there is another issue which would render a simple selection
based on say radio buttons (or so) rather useless. This is because my
desktop machine belongs to another domain ('Computer domain' under
w2k) than my user account ('User domain'). 'mkpasswd -d' uses the
computer domain by default (which is probably as sensible as using the
user domain by default under certain conditions; I don't know). I
have to use 'mkpasswd -d USERDOMAIN -u SOMEUSERNAME' to make mkpasswd
do what I want.
Facing all the possible combinations of domains and non-domains I
would see three approaches:
1) Make the setup very complicated to allow users to specify all or
many possible combinations (like one or more domain names and one
or more usernames) to satisfy all or most users, but with
non-trivial usage and non-trivial implementation.
2) Make a setup with medium comlexity (for example like Mr. Faylor
suggests), which is not so hard to implement and use, but which may
leave the user with a 'broken' /etc/passwd (or rather with a
/etc/passwd which doesn't match the user's expectation when she
selects to make setup query the domain)
3) Leave it as it is. It seems to me that 'mkpasswd -l' is a minimal
compromise. It's easy to use, already implemented and if you want
domain accounts in your cygwin setup, it is well documented how to
achieve that. If the user then runs 'mkpasswd -l -d >
/etc/passwd', as I did yesterday, the user is likely to look at
/etc/passwd afterwards to ensure that the setup is what she
expected it to be. If this is not the case (as with me) she will
start to ask the mailing list or something and will get the needed
answer in short time.
I would opt for alternative three, YMMV.
Besides I have a related question: My domain username is the same as
my local username, say 'userxyz'. Now I have two entries in
/etc/passwd with username 'userxyz'. I assume that always the first
(the domain account) is used regardless whether I logged into windoze
with my local or my domain account. Is this assumption correct? Is
it considered harmful to have two user accounts with the same name
within cygwin?
OTOH, if I understand the net-ug right, in /etc/passwd I can just
change the name 'Administrator' to 'root' and whenever I log into
windoze as 'Administrator' I will be called 'root' within cygwin. Is
that correct? If so, can I just rename the second entry with
'userxyz' within /etc/passwd to something else and will then be called
this something else within cygwin when I log into windoze using my
local account? Or what other approach would be advisable?
TIA,
andreas

I've just updated my local copy of OpenSSH, however my keys and
configuration files still appear in /etc. I also ran the script
ssh-host-config again, as the openssh-3.1p1-1.README indicates:
> If you are updating your installation you may run the above

However, the ssh-host-config script is still using /etc also:
# Directory where the config files are stored
SYSCONFDIR=/etc
# Subdirectory where an old package might be installed
OLDPREFIX=/usr/local
OLDSYSCONFDIR=${OLDPREFIX}/etc
So, it looks like the ssh-host-config script needs to be
updated to move files from both /usr/local/etc and /etc
to /etc/ssh. The readme also needs to reference /etc/ssh.
Thanks,
Alan

vt320 and Cygwin
Heyo. At work, we use Kermit95 to telnet from our Windows machines (all flavors) to our AIX box. Has to do with vt320 and function key functionality, from what I've been told. I came up with the idea of using Cygwin's telnet to telnet in with vt320. Unfortunately, the default Cygwin installation doesn't seem to put a vt320 section in /etc/termcap.

Can't create home directory

I have tried changing ownership to 544:544, opening everything to 777, setting the directory open to Everyone in Windows, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

RE: Can't create home directory
To answer your questions in turn: / is c:\cygwin, I would assume therefore that /home is c:\cygwin\home and, yes, I am a domain user. The odd thing is I've had cygwin working on my machine before with no problems. Is this passwd change a new requirement? To my knowledge, the only change I made, at the suggestion of Michael Erdely's SSHD setup page (http://tech.erdelynet.com/cygwin-sshd.asp) was to change the CYGWIN variable to "ntsec tty" (was just "tty"). He seems to suggest that this is the best setting for W2K with NTFS, although I have no idea what the "ntsec" means.

Confused, need help
Hey Gang, Need a bit of help. I am trying to do a fresh install of the latest net release. I am removing the C:\cygwin directory, deleting the registry keys, icons, and start menu options. I can't find anything on setup's "temporary working directory" so I don't know where to delete there. This is an NT 4.0 machine, I can't give you cygcheck output as I have currently deleted cygwin from the system. However, when I run setup again, several of the packages (all of which were previously installed at the current version, ie if installed would not need updating) are showing up as "skip" in the dialog. I have run through several attempts to remove and re-install none of which get it all right. Anyone have any idea what I am missing or where setup is finding this version information? -- Prentis Brooks | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 703-265-0914 | AIM: PrentisBrooks Senior System Administrator - Web Infrastructure & Security A knight is sworn to valor.

RE: Can't create home directory
Hi all, I think I may have answered my own question. It would appear that my problem DOES have something to do with setting CYGWIN to "ntsec tty".

remote debugging
Hi, I asked this question here a couple months ago but did not receive a reply... just trying again ... Is there a way to remote debug to a cygwin box? I assume gdbserver would be used for this. However gdbserver doesn't come with cygwin, and I haven't been able to compile it from sources. My original post, with more details on what I've tried, is here: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00365.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00367.html Any ideas? I am surprised that nobody (apparently) does remote debugging with cygwin. It is much needed when developing certain full-screen apps. Thanks, Matt __ Do You Yahoo!?

grap-1.10
I downloaded http://www.lunabase.org/~faber/Vault/software/grap/grap-1.10.tar.gz and within Cygwin, after unwrapping it, I ran the commands ./configure make make install The implementation seems to have worked just fine: by this I mean (i) there were no errors reported during the make described above and (ii) everything I try running that uses grap, works. So that's good. But it isn't a Cygwin-supplied grap, so has none of the assurance that one has come to expect with the Cygwin provision.

ValidateBinary: "/bin/postgres" is not a regular file ValidateBinary: can't stat "/usr/local/bin/postgres" ValidateBinary: "/usr/bin/postgres" is not a regular file ValidateBinary: "/bin/postgres" is not a regular file ValidateBinary: "/usr/bin/postgres" is not a regular file ValidateBinary: can't stat "/cygdrive/d/TEMP/postgres" ValidateBinary: can't stat "/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/postgres" ValidateBinary: can't stat "/cygdrive/d/WINDOWS/postgres" ValidateBinary: can't stat "/cygdrive/d/WINDOWS/COMMAND/postgres" ValidateBinary: can't stat "//postgres" FindExec: could not find a postgres to execute...

Re: cygwin1.dll 1.3.10 release
I too get this error on Win2K after updating.

Re: mkshortcut debugging problem
Well, after going over hoards of MSDN documents and adjusting my code, I realized what most developers' first guess might have been... I followed the null pointer. Madness overtook me. I corrected this (char *)problem and my util actually passed all my tests, no matter which directory it was in. I also ran it through GNU indent a few times (just to make sure :) Features of this version include: --Prettier code, thanks to indent --Better error checking --Works ;) Because of the indent the patch is bigger than the actual file, so here's the whole thing. (Chuck, this should be drop-in replacement for the one in cygutils-0.9.9. I apologize for the inconvenience.) Thanks again to Corinna and Jason for the help. __ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

RE: Source for "select"
I'm not sure what forwarding you are referring to - forwarding (to me) implies a function wrapper or some such construct. This is exporting the function address + ordinal under a different label, which is somewhat different, in that there is no affect on the stack/ no overhead incurred. Rob -Original Message- From: Matt Seitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I think I found the answer to my question: the forwarding occurs in the "cygwin.din" file. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
gcc bug, cygwin specific cygwin-1.3.10-1 gcc-2.95.3-5
hi,
i think i have found a bug, either that or i am very stupid. the bug is a
gcc bug and it is cygwin specific (cygwin-1.3.10-1 gcc-2.95.3-5) and the
following code causes a seg fault:
---
int end;
int main ()
{
end = 1;
return 0;
}
where as the following code does not:
---
int notend;
int main ()
{
notend = 1;
return 0;
}
it seems that the word "end" seems to do somethings differently. also if the
variable was declared as static (static int end) there are not problems with
that. hope you guys can help.
cheers,
alex
