RE: Bug in rm -r with locked files

[Steve Fairbairn]

Just a small suggestion, but in order to avoid this problem and keep cross
platform compatibility, could you not recursively chmod the files first,
then use rm -r (which someone else stated isn't affected) to remove the
files.

Means the tree has to be parsed twice, but should produce the required
results?

use rm -rf in a script and must resort to the native "del" cmd because rm
-rf hangs when it encounters
a locked file.

Re: Bug in rm -r with locked files

   Hi,

   This is a bug report about rm (package fileutils, version 4.1-1) on 
W2K.

   Test case: take 2 cygwin shells.
shell 1:
   mkdir /tmp/directory
   vi /tmp/directory/file

shell 2:
   /bin/rm -rf /tmp/directory

   The shell2 doesn't manage to remove the directory and goes into an 
infinite loop, taking 100% of the CPU.
   All is then OK if we go out of vi in the shell1.

   Doing the same thing (deleting the directory) directly in Windows 
produces an error message: "cannot delete directory: Access is denied. 
The source file may be in use" and we can notice in the directory a 
file named .file.swp that is also visible under Cygwin with ls -la.

   The example I have just given uses vi, but it is the same with all 
processes that open the file, as W2K puts a lock on it.

Gael Mulat

   OK. If I summurize all that has been said, this problem is 
well-known but has no solution in a near future.

   But a workaround would be very useful for people (me and Brian 
Kelly, for instance) who use plenty of rm -rf in cross-platform shell 
scripts.

   Thanks to Shankar Unni, I have mine: I didn't noticed that only rm 
-rf had the trouble, and not rm -r.

   So my workaround will be to replace all the '/bin/rm -rf dir' by 
'chmod -R +w dir; /bin/rm -r dir'. The semantic is not exactly the same 
(especially on write-protected directories), but that will allow my 
scripts to work well...

   Thanks everybody.

Gael.

Perl with -i option removes files

[Volker Quetschke]

Hi!

Following szenario:

$ echo abc > testfile

$ perl -p -i -e 's/b/x/g' testfile
Can't do inplace edit on testfile: Permission denied.

$ ls -l testfile
ls: testfile: No such file or directory

If I use:
$ perl -p -i".bak" -e 's/l/x/g' testfile

I get an unchanged testfile.bak plus a changed testfile.

Is this a bug or feature?

Did you set CYGWIN before starting *any* Cygwin programs?  Put it in

sshd error: setsockopt SO_KEEPALIVE

[BStrohhaecker]

Hello,

I've a complete cygwin installation from 21.01.2003 under W2k SR2.

Trying 'ssh localhost' I get the error:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

In the windows eventlog I've found:
...
Ereignisinformationen: sshd : Win32 Process Id = 0x338 : Cygwin
Process Id = 0x338 : error: setsockopt SO_KEEPALIVE: Socket operation
on non-socket.

My ssh configuration seems to be ok. IMHO I've checked all neccessary dirs, 
files and access rights. So I changed the ownership of '/etc/ssh*' to me and
tried
to start sshd in debug-mode:

$ sshd -d
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.5p1
debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: private host key: #1 type 1 RSA
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: private host key: #2 type 2 DSA
debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.
Generating 768 bit RSA key.
RSA key generation complete.
debug1: Server will not fork when running in debugging mode.
Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 2590
Segmentation fault (core dumped):

The output of 'strace -o sshd.log -w sshd -ddd' is attached.
Just as 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out' and 
the 'sshd.exe.coredump'.

BTW, wsock32.dll and ws2_32.dll are identical to those
from w2k SR2. getfacl shows for both:

# owner: Administrator
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
group::rwx
mask:rwx
other:rwx

Any help would be appreciated,

Bernd

RE: SIGINT to bash behaves differently in rxvt as compared to console

David,

Yes - I did try that just now and still no effect.

The key question iswhy does it behave differently in rxvt ? It's as if
rxvt launches bash with some different settings.

syslogd

[rviau75]

Hi,

I'm curious to know if there is any way to write syslog messages to a
file instead of to the XP Event Viewer.

I actually installed Cygwin for *nix tools such as syslogd to use with
my Cisco equipment.  I could not find a syslogd for Windows that I was
happy with, so I was hoping to just go with the real thing (without new
hardware.)

Thanks,

Rob

Only way currently possible: Make a custom setup.ini that lists all the
packages you want to be installed in the categories Base or Misc.

Feel free to look into the setup source code, if this will not do what you
want.

How about you give me $150,000 and I'll solve the problem for you?

Either that or come up with a patch to fix the problem.  Sadly, free
software doesn't mean "works perfectly or your problem gets fixed for
free".  Quite the contrary, it gives *you* the freedom to modify the
source to fix problems.

That's overstating the situation.  sigaction() is certainly supported in
cygwin.  The sa_sigaction field in the sigaction struct is not.

How about you give me $150,000 and I'll solve the problem for you?

Either that or come up with a patch to fix the problem.  Sadly, free
software doesn't mean "works perfectly or your problem gets fixed for
free".  Quite the contrary, it gives *you* the freedom to modify the
source to fix problems.

A suggestion:

'/bin/find dir -depth -exec /bin/chmod +w {} \; -exec /bin/rm -r {} \;'
might work, and will only parse the tree once...  It will invoke chmod and
rm multiple times, though, but that's a tradeoff.

RE: SIGINT to bash behaves differently in rxvt as compared to console

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Duncan,

Come to think of it, it just might.  Are you launching bash from
cygwin.bat?  If so, it is launched with a '--login' option, which will
execute /etc/profile and others.  What are the parameters to the bash that
rxvt launches?  Do you give the '--loginShell' or '-ls' option to rxvt?
Try running 'rxvt -ls -e "bash --login -i"' and see if the behavior
changes.

RE: SIGINT to bash behaves differently in rxvt as compared to console

[duncan . loveday]

Igor,

I run rxvt from a .bat file :-

@echo off

D:
chdir \cygwin\bin
rem set CYGWIN=tty
rem set TERM=cygwin
D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -ls -fg green -bg black -cr red -sl 1000 -sr -fn 'Lucida
Console-20' -e bash --login -i


...and no matter what I do I can't make the ^C do what I want !

I'm more or less resigned to living with it - thanks for taking the time to
make suggestions.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Pine-4.53-1 Released

[Eduardo Chappa]

Hello

  I have packed a new distribution of the popular e-mail client Pine.
Version 4.53 is the stable release of the 4.5X series. This is the first
release for Cygwin in this series.

Here's a quick summary of what's new in it. Further details can be found
from the main screen of Pine by pressing "R" (to see the Release Notes) or
by going to http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes.html

 * Extended thread support (fancy thread interface).
 * Rudimentary support of character set conversion.
 * Extended filter/roles functionality.
 * Cygwin port is official. This means that no more patches are needed to
   build a version of Pine suitable for cygwin. All you need to do is to
   unpack the source code and execute the command "./buildcyg cyg"  from
   the pineX.YZ directory (You still need a patch to be able to "fix" some
   bugs found while running Pine with colors in the default cygwin
   terminal. This patch is already applied in this release).

As usual, more documentation on how to run Pine under cygwin can be found
in the file /usr/doc/Cygwin/pine-4.53-1.README.

If you find any problem running this package, please report it to the
cygwin mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

*** INFORMATION ON UPDATING CYGWIN ***

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

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.

The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your
system and will install newer packages automatically.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .  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.

Re: Automatic Batch Transfer

[Randall R Schulz]

Rick,

Additionally, if you're not exploiting other Cygwin wonders, you might 
just want to get a native Windows port of Curl and use that. That would 
probably simplify things like file name conversion.

A suggestion:

'/bin/find dir -depth -exec /bin/chmod +w {} \; -exec /bin/rm -r {} \;'
might work, and will only parse the tree once...  It will invoke chmod and
rm multiple times, though, but that's a tradeoff.
Igor



Igor,

I think we've drifted off the problem here. This isn't a issue of file 
modes interfering with file removal, its an interaction with window's 
"locking" of files that are in-use (open).

And as the discussion from last April showed, not all in-use states 
interfered with removal via Cygwin unlink(). While we were having 
trouble getting my original problem reproduced, I decided to write a 
Java program that opened a file and kept it open. Something about the 
way Java opened files triggered the problem where not all other uses did.

Perhaps it was just a Cygwin (non-interfering) vs. non-Cygwin 
(interfering) use of the file. I don't know. I don't know what was the 
exact diagnosis of the problem at the level of the Cygwin unlink code.

Chris January might know.

problem accessing tape with tar on NT

[Kris Thielemans]

Hi,

I'm trying to access a DAT tape produced on Unix using tar. The tape reads
fine on another Unix (Solaris) station.

However Cygwin gives me this

$ /usr/bin/mt  -f /dev/st0 status
tape capacity:  1887232 KB
current block:0 write protected  :   no
datcompres
sion   :   on

$ /usr/bin/tar xvf /dev/st0
/usr/bin/tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: Permission denied
/usr/bin/tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
/usr/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What's wrong?

(cygcheck output attached).

Thanks!

Randall,

Yes, I realize that.  I wasn't suggesting a fix for the problem, I was
suggesting a workaround that would let people do what they want without
having to traverse (apparently huge) trees twice.  I agree that the
problem exists and needs to be fixed (at some point, by someone who
understands what's going on).

cygwin conflicting with seti@home on win2000

[petar marinov]

Hello,

Two days ago I installed the latest version of cygwin.

I've been happily using previous versions for a long time. Now I noticed
that bash pauses for about 15-20 seconds before showing the prompt.

I removed any vestiges of the previous installation, fearing that this
could be the problem and reinstalled the latest again. The problem
persisted.

I investigated to the best extent possible previous posts on this
mailing list regarding similar problems.

I modified cygwin.bat to include --verbose for me to observe what is
bash's exact start sequence. I noticed that it poses on executing "id"
and doing "grep" for X11 path.

Once started, all bash commands "ls", "cd", etc. work flawlessly.

I did a small test "echo test | cat". This was pausing for about 10 seconds.

 From some of the previous posts in the mailing list I saw that this can
be network related. I run a network traffic monitor just to see that no
network activity is taking place upon bash start or the execution of
 small test above.

Another problem I investigated, not very exhaustively, I removed my
current user from the administrators group, fearing that it can be some
security misalignment with the new installation. This change did not
remove the pause.

Runned "strace echo test | cat", but because of the redirection I can
not see where exactly the pause occurres, I receive the entire dump at
the end of the test.

Decided to just stop seti@home which is running on the machine.
Everything run flowlessy. Repeated running bash with and withough
seti@home, it confirmed my obvesrvation.

What can be the problem?

Re: syslogd

[Abraham Backus]

I wanted the same thing so that I could receive syslog messages from my
wireless access point...  There's probably a good reason that it isn't in
the binary distribution, but it is in the source distribution of the package
"inetutils".  When you go through setup, choose source for this package,
then go into /usr/src/inetutils-*, run "configure", cd to syslogd, run
"make" and you will have a working syslogd.

Once you have done this, you should create a /etc/syslog.conf file.  I have
syslogd running as a service with cygrusrv and with the arguments "-p
/dev/null -d".

Re: cygwin conflicting with seti@home on win2000

[Randall R Schulz]

Petar,

Between Cygwin1.dll version 1.3.17 and 1.3.18, changes were made to the 
manner in which I/O to and from pipes is handled. It improved the 
behavior of some CD recording software. This had the unfortunate 
side-effect of introducing very long delays to pipe I/O whenever there 
was any CPU demand, regardless of how low a priority the CPU-demanding 
process or thread was assigned.

Preliminary reports from those using snapshots of the pre-1.3.19 
release indicate the problem has been solved. In the mean-time, either 
shut down SETI@home, install 1.3.17 of the cygwin package, avoid using 
pipes in Cygwin or work on your patience.

Most likely no.

Here's why:
- You give absolutely no indication of what failed.
- There is no such thing as RedHat 9.0 (yet).

You're trying to use brickOS, aren't you? It's not really sensible to ask
general usage questions about brickOS here, even when running in a Cygwin
environment. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is the appropriate
place.

Anyway, you are going to have to provide much more detailed information
about exactly how it occurs and what the problem is, if anyone is to help
you.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.

This is a known issue with this perl release, which was fixed in perl 5.8.x. 

A workaround is to use a speficic backup extension like perl -pi.bak ...

NTEA extensions for uid/gid

[Christian Mueller]

Hi all,

after ntsec became the default for cygwin (and some further changes to
ruserok()), I ran into problems running servers such as rshd depending
on .rhosts and ruserok() because I don't use ntsec and ntea doesn't
store the file's uid/gid. As a result, I can't use rshd anymore
because it complains that the .rhosts file is not owned by the correct
user.

I discussed this on the Cygwin user group but my impression was that
I'm the only one having this problem at this point and possibly one of
the few using ntea. I don't want to use ntsec because I use my Cygwin
home directory for Cygwin *and* Windows programs and ntsec displays
screwed-up file permissions for files created by Windows programs.
BTW, my user is part of the admin group because I can't change things
such as network settings on my laptop without being an "administrator".

Thus, I went ahead and modified ntea.cc and security.cc to support
uid/gid in addition to the file mode. The modified version now uses
three extended attributes:

   .UNIXATTR   - file mode (same as in current versions)
   .UNIXUID- UID (file owner)
   .UNIXGID- GID (file group)

I added a new function to ntea.cc, NTReadEAMulti(), which reads all
requested EAs in one step, thus there's no additional overhead besides
the few extra bytes to be read by NTReadEARaw() but that shouldn't
have any noticable impact on performance.

I did not combine the existing file mode with the uid/gid values into
a structure because this would have caused trouble with earlier
versions of Cygwin -- NTReadEA() currently returns an error if the
extended attibute is bigger than the buffer provided.

Also, I didn't write a NTWriteEAMulti() variant, yet, because I wanted
to get feedback from the Cygwin group before putting more effort into
this issue. It works as it is right now but a function
NTWriteEAMulti() would certainly speed up setting attributes.

What I'm looking for right now is some feedback on this idea.
Naturally, I would like those modifications to end up in the Cygwin
core distribution but this probably needs to be discussed properly
before being considered. I added the source changes at the bottom of
this email. They are not complete, yet, but already work for me and
should be good enough for discussion.

Thanks,
--Christian

Hi Jari,

that document has been written by me and it's orginal source is at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/cygwin.html, so it's nothing "unkown".

Security Issue with Cygwin

[Lambeth Darwin]

To whom it may concern;

Not sure if you know this or not, but the default configuration with Cygwin allows any 
user to change to any directory on a W2K box and delete whatever files they want. I 
have installed it with the current default instructions and was able to logon as a 
regular domain user and cd to c: and delete or add files. That is a major issue. Let 
me know if there is something I missed.

Thank
Darwin L. Lambeth

Thats the Microsoft default install that grants those permissions.
Cygwin doesn't affect permissions outside of the cygwin directory tree.

Sounds like C: has excessively relaxed permissions, and you coincidentally
noticed after you had installed Cygwin.

You should be able to exactly the same from a cmd.exe shell.

Cron Problems

[Wu Yongwei]

I successfully ran some simple cron jobs under Cygwin, but two things 
puzzled me.

1) There are always some error messages in Event Log Viewer when running 
cron or crontab.  The error messages are like "Description of event ID 
(0) cannot be found (in resource (cron)).  There might be missing 
registry information ... crontab : Win32 Process Id = 0x34C : Cygwin 
Process Id = 0x340 : (Administrator) REPLACE (Administrator)" and "... 
/usr/sbin/cron : Win32 Process Id = 0x410 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x410 : 
(CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)" (this is a back-translation since I am using a 
Chinese system).  However, the scheduled job is successfully done.

2) How to start cron when starting the computer?  I tried running it as 
a service in cygrunsrv (cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron), but failed 
since starting the service always failed (cron : Win32 Process Id = 
0x3F8 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x3F8 : starting service `cron' failed: 
execv: 0, No error.) but the process cron appeared.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wu Yongwei

P.S.  When starting cron from a command prompt or shell, the process 
will be bound to the command prompt or shell, i.e., when the command 
prompt or shell exits, the cron process will exit too.  My method of 
curing this problem is to change byte 0xDC of cron.exe from 03 to 02 
(CUI to GUI).  Any better methods?

silly question

[Yves Petinot]

Hi,

I am fairly new to cygwin and this question is certainly silly but i cannot 
seem to figure out what the cause to my problem is.

I have a pretty complete installation of cygwin running on my machine (W2K) 
and it seems i never got basic commands such as "cp", "ls", "rm" to be 
installed. This is troublesome and it seems to prevent more complex features 
to be properly installed : i tried downloading and installing all the 
packages listed through the internet installation, but i still cannot get 
these commands to be available,

any suggestion on what i should do ?

Thanks a million,

Yves.

Re: silly question

[Randall R Schulz]

Yves,

Yes, taken as such, it's a silly question.

Q: "How do I get the commands I didn't install?"
A: "Install them."

Or, to be a bit less facetious, install the "fileutils" package.

If you had installed all the available packages, you'd have these. 
Pretty much everyone else does--they're scarcely optional, as you note.

Your problem is that your not passing the -D (Do not kill off parent
process; which allows cron to be used by the service manager) option. So you
need to append `-a -D' to your cygrunsrv line when installing cron.

Re: Cron Problems

Thanks.  However, where can I find the options of cron?  Now I only find 
some info in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README, but only in the ChangeLog 
section, which I ignored on the first reading!

And what is the use of the option -a?

There are only two options you can pass to cron. 1) -D (got the meaning
wrong the last time; Means don't fork) and 2) -x which is a debugging option
which prints out, well, debugging info ;-)

> And what is the use of the option -a?

When I referred to the `-a' option I was talking about cygrunsrv. The `-a'
option  takes the arguments you wish to pass to the executable, cron.exe,
and when the service is started it is started with those arguments. For
example, taken from cron.README:

  $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D

Re: Bug in rm -r with locked files

[Glenn Fowler]

the problem reproduces on 1.3.12(0.54/3/2)
I believe its a bug in rm itself
the ast rm (http::/www.research.att.com/sw/download/) works fine

these commands illustrate the problem

window#1: mkdir /tmp/directory
window#1: vi /tmp/directory/file

window#2: /bin/ls -alR /tmp/directory
/tmp/directory:
total 4
drwxr-xr-x2 gsf  None0 Jan 22 04:40 .
drwx--   13 Administ None0 Jan 22 04:39 ..
-rw---1 gsf  None 4096 Jan 22 04:40 .file.swp
window#2: # note that /tmp/directory/file does not exist
window#2: # note that vi created .file.swp
window#2: /home/gsf/arch/cygwin.i386/bin/rm -r /tmp/directory
rm: /tmp/directory/.file.swp: not found
rm: /tmp/directory: directory not removed [Directory not empty]
window#2: /home/gsf/arch/cygwin.i386/bin/rm -rf /tmp/directory
window#2: echo "exit code $?"
exit code 1
window#2: /bin/ls -alR /tmp/directory
/bin/ls: /tmp/directory/.file.swp: No such file or directory
/tmp/directory:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x2 gsf  None0 Jan 22 04:40 .
drwx--   13 Administ None0 Jan 22 04:39 ..
window#2: /bin/rm -r /tmp/directory
/bin/rm: cannot remove `/tmp/directory/.file.swp': No such file or directory
/bin/rm: cannot remove directory `/tmp/directory': Directory not empty
window#2: /bin/rm -rf /tmp/directory
^C to break hang

the last ls exposes the rm bug
readdir() returns .file.swp but a subsequent stat() on .file.swp
fails with ENOENT
gnu rm -rf probably assumes that ENOENT means the file was already removed
and that screws up its logic when a subsequent rmdir() returns ENOTEMPTY

ast rm has loop detection on rmdir() to avoid problems like this
such problems are not limited to unix on windows

Fwd: Re: silly question

[Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc)]

Yves,

Please keep the discussion on the list.  There are others here who can
be quite helpful.  There's no benefit to restricting yourself to one
set of eyes.

Randall's right.  The utilities you're looking for are in the fileutils
package.  From your cygcheck output, it's clear that you have installed
this package as far as setup is concerned.  I suggest you rerun setup,
switch to the "Full" View, find the fileutils package entry, click on
"Keep" to change it to "Reinstall".  This should reinstall this package 
with these utilities.  If you still have problems, please attach setup.log
and/or setup.log.full with your report to the list.

Hello All,

I am newbie to Cygwin.

I would like to know how to start and use startx effectively.

My questions are:
1. The xwindows are similar to linux. Is there any options to be
included while executing startx?
2. Is a login panel available and is it possible to login from neibhour
m/c to cygwin?
3. Is there any possibility to have windows like or Gnome like Xwindows

Looking forward to your reply.

Somehow, I doubt that...

Your message was sent to the wrong list, which I suppose is an honest

I have corrected the subject and redirected this message to the proper list.
