gcc 3.3.1 problem

[Gerry Reno]

  I'm having a problem with gcc 3.3.1.  Here is a sample program that
demos the problem:

// test.c
#include 
#include 

typedef struct abc {
  HANDLE h1;
  HANDLE h2;
} XYZ;

XYZ * somefunc () {
  XYZ xyz;
  XYZ *ptr = &xyz;

  ptr->h1 = (HANDLE) 99;
  ptr->h2 = (HANDLE) 88;

printf("somefunc: ptr->h1 = %d\n",ptr->h1);
printf("somefunc: ptr->h2 = %d\n",ptr->h2);

  return (ptr);
}

int main(void) {
  XYZ *ptr2;

  ptr2 = somefunc ();
printf("main: ptr2->h1 = %d\n",ptr2->h1);
printf("main: ptr2->h2 = %d\n",ptr2->h2);

}
--

-- results --
somefunc: ptr->h1 = 99
somefunc: ptr->h2 = 88
main: ptr2->h1 = 99
main: ptr2->h2 = 99


  And sometimes it will give me really large values for main: ptr2-h2
like 4043574.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: libxml2-2.5.11-1

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Libxml2 has been updated.

Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome
project (but usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free
software available under the MIT License. XML itself is a metalanguage
to design markup languages, i.e. text language where semantic and
structure are added to the content using extra 'markup' information
enclosed between angle brackets. HTML is the most well-known markup
language. Though the library is written in C a variety of language
bindings make it available in other environments. 


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.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'libxml2' from the 'Libs' category, if you install it for the first
time, click on the 'skip' field next to 'libxml2' until '2.5.11-1' is
displayed. 


DOWNLOAD:

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have 
the latest version of this package fairly soon:

In the US,

RE: gcc 3.3.1 problem

[Jörg Schaible]

Hi Gerry,

you return a pointer to an object on the stack, that is no longer valid after leaving 
your function. So any value printed in main is undefined and you can get any result.

Regards,
Jörg

You're not giving any information that might actually lead to an answer: 
something as basic as which shell you are using..

If you're using Bash, the behaviour is normal. If you're using any other 
shell, I don't know.

1.5.5-1: ftp: ftp/tcp: unknown service

[Nicolas JEAN]

Hi,

 (cygwin on windows XP SP1)

when I tried to run ftp, I've got :
> ftp server
ftp: ftp/tcp: unknown service

I have the same with telnet

I tried to change the access right on the file services
but nothing change

I wrote this little C program:

#include 
main () {

 struct servent *s;
 s = getservent();
 if ( s != 0x00 )
  printf("%d\n", s->s_port);
 else
  printf("NO !\n");
}

which work perfectly, so I guess the access right are OK
if I tried to run getservbyname it failed.

/etc/services is a link to WIN/system32/drivers/etc/services
and cygwin use this last one, not the link

any idea ?!

I don't think I started or stopped any windows service.

best regards,

Nicolas

The problem is that in contrast to Windows itself, Cygwin doesn't know 
as which user you connected to a share.  At the moment I don't know
which call would return that information.  Any hint appreciated.

No.  Perhaps the users privileges don't allow that?  Members of the
group "Users" (or the native analogon) have the appropriate permissions
by default.

broken definition of INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES

[Varga Zoltan]

  Hi All,

  I believe the definition of INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES in
/usr/include/w32api/winnt.h is broken:

#define INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES (DWORD (-1))

It is missing a () around DWORD. To try this out, use the
following test program:

<

#include 

void main ()
{
printf ("X: %d.\n", INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES);
}

<<

 bye

I do not have access to 9x so you will have to debug this further
yourself.  Can you run fetchmail under strace or gdb?  If so, can you
determine why the attempt to delete the lock file fails?

Could this be a FAT/FAT32 vs. NTFS issue instead?

I expect my test user has sufficient privileges.  It is
in groups None, Administrators, Power Users, and User.

I guess I'll try to learn more about the internals of w2k,
more then I ever wanted to know, starting with ReportEventA().

Unfortunately my configure of cygwin-1.5.5-1 died looking
for an errant install-sh. In case my w2k environment is
insufficient to build cygwin from scratch, could you add a
check of return code from ReportEventA()? That might shed
light on the problem.

Thank you,

   Scott

Best way to backup a cygwin installation ?

[Olaf Foellinger]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

what is the best way to backup a cygwin installation ? I have a working
installation here on w2k with a size of appr. 700 MB. I use ntsec and I
wonder which is the best way:

- - copy the file sin windows ?
- - make a tar.gz archive under cygwin ?

I want a possibility to turn back to this version in case the upgrade to
1.5.x fails.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Gerry, you should really know better than to return a
pointer to an automatic variable (a struct, in this case).  That's one of
the things K&R explicitly warns against.  You're lucky it worked at all in
the previous versions of gcc.  If you want to return a pointer to
something from a function, either make it global, or static, or allocate
it dynamically.

  It seems that you aren't supposed to return internal automatic

  xyz and *ptr need to be either static or made global.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: exim-4.24-1

[Pierre A. Humblet]

I have updated Exim, the Mail Transfer Agent, to exim-4.24-1.
It is the first stable release since the current 4.22.

Changes:
- The list of Exim changes appears in
  
  and in /usr/share/doc/exim-4.24/NewStuff

- Exim can now use PAM to authenticate users presenting their Windows names 
  and passwords.

Note:
 Old gdbm databases are incompatible with the gdbm software for Cygwin 1.5.
 Exim handles the transition gracefully (making an entry in its log). 
 However if you revert to an Exim release earlier than 4.22, it will be
 necessary to delete all files in /var/spool/exim/db. This causes no 
 permanent loss of data.

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

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

Pierre

Olaf,

You probably want to make a tar archive under Cygwin to keep the
permissions and the ownership.  To make sure you can actually extract that
archive, you should make extra copies of tar.exe, gzip.exe, cygwin1.dll,
cygiconv-2.dll, and cygintl-2.dll into your backup directory.  When you
extract, make sure to explicitly use the tar from the backup directory,
and that no other Cygwin processes are running at the time.

It would be a good idea to also back up your mount table in a file called
"mounts.bat" in the same directory (by using the output of "mount -m"),
and then restore them after untarring the backup.  You will need to make
an extra copy of mount.exe (no dependences).  So, your backup directory
will probably look like:

cygiconv-2.dll
cygintl-2.dll
cygwin1.dll
cygwin-backup.tgz
gzip.exe
mount.exe
tar.exe

Hope this helps,
Igor

File name completion on symbolic links

[Lynn Wilson]

This is a very minor issue and it may be just a Bash problem, but...

When I use Bash to do file name completion (using Tab) on a DIRECTORY 
that is a symlink I do not get the trailing slash '/'.

If it's a real directory, the TAB results in the completion of the 
directory name with an appended slash.  If it's a symlink, I get the 
directory name but NO slash.

This is the part of my mount table that may be of interest:

c:\program files on /PF type system (binmode)
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 /c type system (binmode)
d: on /d type system (binmode,noumount)
cd /c
c> ls -ald Sources Public
drwxr-xr-x+   4 lrwilso  mkgroup  4096 Aug 13 11:28 public/
lrwxrwxrwx1 lrwilso  mkgroup   100 Aug 13 09:52 Sources -> 
/d/Sources

ls pub  yields  "ls public/"
ls  Sou yields "ls Sources"
any insight?

Lynn,

Put the following in your ~/.inputrc:

set mark-symlinked-directories on

This should do it.

*** unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size 0, Win32 error 0

[Ronald van Gogh]

I'm running every 10 minutes a bash script with cygwin software to collect 
statistics information from a dominoserver. Now this works in 99% of the 
time, but sometimes the error "d:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** unable to 
allocate heap, heap_chunk_size 0, Win32 error 0" appears.
We schedule the script with a seperate tool called Windows Scheduler.

Can somebody in simple terms explain to me what this means and how we can 
avoid it ?

Kind regards,  Ronald van Gogh

/usr/bin/su.exe in sh-utils always fails

[Matt Swift]

The Cygwin FAQ says that there is no `su' command in recent versions
of Cygwin, The sh-utils package, however, currently contains an `su'
command, but it doesn't work.  The shell transcript below illustrates
the problem.  You have to trust me that I offer the same password to
`su' as I do to `ssh'.

ln and mkshortcut inconsistent in handling of .exe extension

[Matt Swift]

The following shell transcript demonstrates that `ln' does not handle
the .exe extension gracefully, like mkshortcut does.

I believe graceful behavior would require the following changes:

  1) `ln' would not give the two errors below when trying to create
 "hardlink-to-base" and "hardlink-to-base.exe": the target
 ("program") should silently have the .exe extension added.  I do
 not know whether there should be a warning in this case, or
 whether the .exe extension should be added to the link-name,
 perhaps with a warning.

  2) The files "symlink-to-base" "symlink-to-base.exe" should have the
 .exe extension silently added to the Windows shortcut target: at
 present, the files are not valid Windows shortcuts (they appear
 to Windows Explorer as a shortcut, but have an empty "Target"
 which can not be altered in the usual way; the Comment field is
 correct).  This behavior would match `mkshortcut''s, which adds
 the .exe extension to the Target when it is not supplied on the
 command-line (what appeared on the command-line appears verbatim
 in the Comment field, however).

ssh shell's mount table differs from normal shell's

[Matt Swift]

I do not understand why the Cygwin mount table should be different in
the bash shell that I launch with cygwin.bat or rxvt.exe than the
mount table I get when I ssh to the host with the same user.  The
shell transcript below illustrates the difference.  The Windows drives
H: and S:, which are missing from the mount table in the ssh shell,
happen to be remote resources, while the other lettered mounts are
physical drives.  But if that were the pattern, the /usr/local/share
mount would also be absent in the ssh shell.

So the FAQ should point out that the su from sh-utils doesn't work,
instead of saying that there is no su command.  I'll update it.

Convert Cygwin shortcuts to Unix symlinks ?

[Frédéric L. W. Meunier]

Anybody know how (better if recursively) ? I extracted a
tarball under Cygwin and later copied it to a Linux partition.
Obviously all Cygwin shortcuts created at extract time are
copied, breaking it.

Matt,

See the email archives on this one.  I suggest you start here:



The FAQ may be a little out-of-date on the specifics but the intent is
correct.  Don't expect 'su' to work even if it exists.

Texinfo 4.6

[Bertalan Fodor]

I tried to make texinfo 4.6 (because of a bug in 4.2), but texi2dvi didn't
work.

Will there be a cygwin release of texinfo 4.6 ?

Greetings,

Bert

Re: ssh shell's mount table differs from normal shell's

[Larry Hall]

Matt,

I'll let you look this one up if you're interested in the previous 
discussions and details on this subject.  

This is the same old "problem" with ssh that everyone has if they don't 
authenticate with Windows (and enter their password).  If you don't use 
password authentication with ssh, Windows doesn't know you as the user you 
say you are so it won't show you shares for that user.

Don't forget about the email archives when you have a question.  I little 
time looking there can answer allot of questions.

Larry

'ln' and 'mkshortcut' have different behavior for a reason.  See 
.
The difference is why 'mkshortcut' exists.  Otherwise, we'd just have
'ln' (which is all we had for quite some time until the need for 
different behavior was realized).

In-house use is normally not in violation of the GPL.

In your example, as long as your program is never sold or distributed in
binary form (ie. you did not sell or give it to the bank in binary
form because the bank owned your labor that created it), and the bank
never sells or distributes the binaries outside itself, I think you are
ok.

Since these types of distinctions look legally cloudy to me, I would
hesitate strongly to agree with your "goes by the wayside for all
non-software development companies" statement.

That said, you should consult a lawyer.  No one on this list is
a qualified GPL authority.  Only the courts can make a determination.

CGF, the closest person here to an authority, hates GPL conversations.
Don't expect him to speak up unless you are clearly in violation, or this
conversation has already (as it probably has) gone on too long.

I've asked someone more knowledgeable than I to offer an opinion on this
issue but, really, as Brian says, the bottom line is to consult a
lawyer.  If this is a potential real world application, and you really
are writing banking software, then you certainly don't want to just go by
the opinions of a bunch of mailing list geeks.

I had seen that discussion.  I found no discussion of the particular
interaction of shortcuts/symlinks and the special handling of the .exe
extension.  To predict the results of the commands I listed, I had to
experiment.

Second, I still don't understand why `ln' shouldn't behave the way I
suggested: how is it better the way it is than if `ln -s' never
created broken shortcuts and 'ln' (hardlink) defaulted to a target of
"foo.exe" when the supplied target "foo" doesn't exist?

BSD 4.3 style fd passing

[Prabhanjan Kambadur]

Hi,

I was wondering whether BSD 4.3 style fd passing (or any form of FD
passing) is supported in CYGWIN 1.5.5. I tried a simple test program for
this purpose and it looks like fd passing between user processes is not
supported. Am I right in thinking so or is there any CYGWIN specific stuff
that I am missing. I was unable to find any conclusive mail archive on
this subject.

I have attached the test program.

Regards,
Anju

This too shall pass ..

Using authentication under Apache for Cygwin

[Andrew DeFaria]

Now that Apache for Cygwin seems to work more reliably I have started 
using it as my web server. However authentication (that was working with 
Apache for Windows) broke. I'm wondering if this is an Apache for Cygwin 
specific problem.

I used to have this implemented at the server level in the httpd.conf 
file like so:

# Secure addbug form

   AuthName "permission to add a bug"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
   Require valid-user

However that fails to work. The user is let in without being prompted 
for a username/password. I've also tried using a .htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "permission to add a bug"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
Require valid-user

With the same non-success. I had cranked up the loglevel in the hopes 
that something about the failure would be written to the logs but 
nothing is. How can I debug/fix this? Does Apache for Cygwin do any 
authentication at all?

Apache 1.3.24; Cygwin 1.5.4

did you used "AuthGroupFile /dev/null" in this scope too?

I have no clue for this, because Authentication using the standard
mod_auth was working very reliably since decades for me.

BTW, why is the  path starting with *two* slashes? Maybe we
got the raeson for this behaviour at this point.

yes it does (or did ;) at least for a considerable time. I don't think
this is a Cygwin or Apache for Cygwin specific problem. I suggest it's
more to a mis-configuration.

Did you try to have standard Basic HTTP Auth on a "fresh" httpd.conf
that comes from the distribution itself?

My WAG is that it has something to do with this UNC path.  I don't know
whether the "//" thing is currently deprecated or not, but I do remember
seeing a recent check-in dealing with either removing or re-enabling it,
or something like that.

Why not try putting all that in a .htaccess file in the addbug
directory?

gcc-3.2: gcc driver doesn't pick up crt0.a from /usr/lib

[Doru Carastan]

Hello,

I am facing a gcc-3.2 configuration problem and I would like to ask your 
opinion about it. I have built an i686-pc-cygwin gcc compiler on Linux 
using a gcc-3.2 i686-pc-linux-gnu to i686-pc-cygwin cross compiler I 
have built and installed in $HOME/cygwin.

r=$HOME/cygwin
i=$HOME/install
# Build, host, target
b=`$r/src/$binutils/config.guess`
h=i686-pc-cygwin
t=i686-pc-cygwin
#
mkdir -p "$r/src/build/$gcc" && \
cd "$r/src/build/$gcc" && \
"$r/src/$gcc/configure" --build=$b --host=$h --target=$t \
  --prefix=/usr --includedir=/nonexistent/include \
  --enable-languages=c,c++ \
  --enable-threads=posix \
  --with-system-zlib \
  --enable-nls \
  --without-included-gettext \
  --disable-version-specific-runtime-libs \
  --enable-shared \
  --enable-haifa \
  --enable-interpreter && \
make all && \
make install prefix="$i/$gcc/usr" && \
cd "$i/$gcc" && tar -cf "$r/$gcc.tar" *
At build time I have $HOME/i686-pc-cygwin/lib stuffed with the 
i686-pc-cygwin lib files including crt0.o. It builds fine, but when I 
install it on Cygwin it can't find crt0.o. /usr/lib.crt0.o is available 
but gcc it doesn't even look in /usr/lib:

$ gcc -print-search-dirs
install: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/
programs: 
=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/

The stock Cygwin gcc and also the native Linux one have a libraries line 
like:

install: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/
programs:

Any ideas?

It works with the updated mmap, and with linux, fails on cygwin with the prior mmap.

Re: Using authentication under Apache for Cygwin

[Andrew DeFaria]

Stipe Tolj wrote:

Now that Apache for Cygwin seems to work more reliably I have started 
using it as my web server. However authentication (that was working 
with Apache for Windows) broke. I'm wondering if this is an Apache 
for Cygwin specific problem.

I used to have this implemented at the server level in the httpd.conf 
file like so:

# Secure addbug form

AuthName "permission to add a bug"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
Require valid-user

However that fails to work. The user is let in without being prompted 
for a username/password. I've also tried using a .htaccess file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "permission to add a bug"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
Require valid-user

With the same non-success. I had cranked up the loglevel in the hopes 
that something about the failure would be written to the logs but 
nothing is. How can I debug/fix this? Does Apache for Cygwin do any 
authentication at all?

Apache 1.3.24; Cygwin 1.5.4
did you used "AuthGroupFile /dev/null" in this scope too?
Just did (in the .htaccess file). Didn't change anything.

I have no clue for this, because Authentication using the standard 
mod_auth was working very reliably since decades for me.

BTW, why is the  path starting with *two* slashes? Maybe we 
got the raeson for this behaviour at this point.
The two slashes indicate a UNC name. In most aspects of Cygwin/Windows 
slashes can stand in for backslashes and are particularly useful. 
Otherwise one needs to have 
sonscentral\\users\\adefaria\\www\\Internal\\Release\\addbug\\!

As I said, this configuration was working in Apache for Windows (where I 
was using the  directive and a path like 
\\sonscentral\users\adefaria\www\Internal\Release\addbug\ - no need to 
double the backslashes for just Windows).

yes it does (or did ;) at least for a considerable time. I don't think 
this is a Cygwin or Apache for Cygwin specific problem. I suggest it's 
more to a mis-configuration.
I would tend to agree except this config worked with Apache for Windows.

Did you try to have standard Basic HTTP Auth on a "fresh" httpd.conf 
that comes from the distribution itself?
Good idea. Tried it. Didn't work:

$ net stop apache
The Cygwin Apache service is stopping
The Cygwin Apache service was stopped successfully.
$ cd /etc/apache

I had to add ExecCGI and index.cgi to httpd.conf but that's all I 
changed. When I went to "addbug" again it let me in there without any 
authentication. Nothing to report in the log files.

Perhaps we should take this offline...

I'm changing the subject to make it a little clearer.

We need someone (i.e., a volunteer) to maintain the list of pending
packages and to upload packages to sources.redhat.com.  I'd be happy to
give access to sources.redhat.com to the appropriate person and to help
set up a tracking database, if necessary.  Or, if we want to just do

Re: XFree86-bin-icons

[Harold L Hunt II]

[Discussion on this issue is now taking place where it should have in 
the first place: cygwin-xfree.  Please follow the cygwin-xfree mailing 
list for further posts.]

Igor,

Okay, that explains why I couldn't find the message in cygwin-xfree.  I 
really wish someone would have redirected the question over here... I 
never saw it.

> FWIW, you can force the order of execution of the XFree86-bin-icons.sh

Thanks.  I actually did that just now, right before you suggested it. 
However, I didn't know that it would force the order of post-install 
script execution; that is a nice side-effect.  The bin-icons package 
should logically depend on the bin package.  People can manually 
unselect it if they want to.


The XFree86-bin-icons package is buggy.  It's basically a postinstall
script that tries to create icons for the X programs that are installed
on your machine.  The problem is that it tries to create them in the
Start Menu for "All Users" without checking whether the current user can
write to it.
That's not entirely true.  For example, my account has Administrator 
priveleges on my machine, the script runs fine when I launch it from a 
bash prompt; so file permissions are not an issue.

I'm not quite sure why it hangs for you, but you can try
runnning that script manually via "bash -x" and seeing where it hangs.
It doesn't hang when you do this.

Something strange is going on here... setup.exe says "Running: No 
Package /etc/postinstal/XFree86-bin-icons".  What is up with the "No 
Package"?  Is that indicating the real problem?

Another thing is that an Uninstall of XFree86-bin-icons also hangs when 
it tries to run the preremove script.  Yet, running the preremove script 
by hand never causes any problems (e.g. bash -x 
/etc/preremove/XFree86-bin-icons.sh).

What gives?

Harold

I had the same problem, but when I ran the script manually, it worked
without complaint.  I just now tried to upgrade to the latest released
packages, including the upgrade to XFree86-bin-icons 4.3.0-4 from
4.3.0-3.  The *uninstall* process hung.  When I ran the script manually,
it said:

rmdir: removing directory, /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start 
Menu/Programs/Cygwin-XFree86/Editors
rmdir: removing directory, /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start 
Menu/Programs/Cygwin-XFree86/Games
rmdir: removing directory, /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start 
Menu/Programs/Cygwin-XFree86/Information
rmdir: removing directory, /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start

rmdir: removing directory, /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start

rmdir: `/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start 
Menu/Programs/Cygwin-XFree86': Permission denied
rmdir: removing directory, /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start 
Menu/Programs/Cygwin-XFree86

And then it exited, so I'm guessing it was Setup (version 2.415) itself
that hung.  The bit about permission denied is nonsense, since I am
logged in as Administrator.  What is true is that that directory was not
empty, since many X packages did not need upgrading at that time.
However, I have no idea if that had anything to do with the hang.

This is on a Windows XP Pro box.

HTH.  Regards,

Re: problem of cron in cygwin xp

Chunyu,

Please do not send Cygwin questions in personal mail unless specifically
requested.  All discussion of cygwin-related topics should happen on the
Cygwin list unless specifically requested otherwise.  One of the benefits
is that the discussion ends up in the list archives.  Another is that you
have access to the expertise of many people instead of just one.

For your convenience, I'm redirecting this query to the Cygwin list.  More

Is there any information in the log on why the cron program couldn't run?
Can you run cron from the command line?  ...From a SYSTEM-owned shell?
Did you search the list archives for a similar problem?  Did you run Mark
Harig's "cron_diagnose.sh"?

At a guess, you might have an alias that's doing something weird (e.g., a
csh alias in bash).  Look at the output of "type -a vi" and "type -a
postgresql" (if you use bash0.  Also, please read and follow the Cygwin

An "AllowOverride AuthConfig" directive, must also be placed.
E.g. 


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
order deny,allow
allow from all

 
and placing all authentication stuff in .htaccess, should do it.
