The test requires ntsec to be turned on for switching user context w/o password. This isn't required anymore for a while but the test in OpenSSH still insists on ntsec for pubkey auth. I've send a patch to the portable OpenSSH developers list which hopefully makes it into 3.8.1p1, which is due RSN.

Problem: fork: permission denied, after intensive use of scripts
I have noticed a problem in cygwin when run on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. After running scripts with a big number of command repeated in a long cycle, at some point I cannot start anything and receive messages like fort: permission denied. It looks like PIDs that were used once cannot be reused. Does anyone know the solution?

Volunteering To Help Write Cygwin Java Swing Setup Program
Hi, all... I am a Java developer specializing in Java Swing and internationalization. I don't use Windows much (I use Mac OS X and Linux), but when I do I am extremely grateful for the availability of Cygwin software. However, I have been often been frustrated by the user interface of the setup software. I have installed cygwin on several machines, and almost every time it has been painful and time consuming. I am grateful that the setup software exists, but wish it were better. Perhaps a more friendly user interface would even result in more people using Cygwin software. If others feel the same way, and would like to look into writing a new setup program, I would like to offer my assistance. Here's what I'm thinking: We write a Java Swing setup program with a clean separation of model and view/controller components. This way, if someone wants to write an alternate view component (in SWT, for example), the amount of work to do so is minimized. Realistically I could not take responsibility for this entire project, so this would only be viable if others were willing to help. I could be most productive on the user interface side. Is this the most appropriate or productive venue for raising this question? If not, can you suggest another forum or means of communication that would be better?

The Unix way ("ps") will work. I'm sure you can invoke it from TCL via
exec() (or, if you actually want to process the output, via open()).
See
"ps --help" for the appropriate command-line arguments. This won't
give
you the title bar info, though.

seg fault via cygwin1!aclcheck() ?
Hi, I am running ns on cygwin, and after my program executes for a while with no problems, suddenly I get a seg fault with the following backtrace (in gdb): Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmetation fault. 0x610ab27b in random () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (gdb) backtrace #0 0x610ab27b in random () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #1 0x610550c6 in localtime_r () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll #2 0x61086751 in cygwin1!aclcheck () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll ...(the rest of the trace is from my ns code) What is wrong? It seems like a permissions problem, but my code is not writing to a file. Although my code reads from a file, this seg fault occurs after a great many lines have been already read from this file. Based on the back trace, the seg fault does not occur at a point where the file is read anyway. How can I fix this?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygrunsrv-1.0-1
I have updated cygrunsrv to version 1.0-1. Was cygrunsrv ripe for a 1.0 version number? I thought it was after about three years. In contrast to previous versions which allowed variables of a length of up to 255 characters, this version allows to define environment variables of any size, only constraint by memory limits. Variable names were also limited to 256 characters so far. This restriction has been lifted to allow a size of up to 16K. This is the limit of registry value names since Windows XP. Older Windows versions nevertheless restrict this length to 260 characters, though. 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.

[OT?] make bash script wait for called program to finish?
How to make a bash script wait for a program that it calls to finish? Why I ask: Don't ask me why this process is structured this way, but, in order to install some code that I need in order to test my code, I hafta a wget an (executable) extractor and some (non-executable) binaries b run the extractor on the binaries. This runs some InstallShield UI that no one I know seems to know how to script. This creates an installer and a set of disk images. c run the installer on the images. Fortunately this part I know how to script. What I'd really like to do is script the whole thing, because each step takes about 30 min, but step b eludes me. So what I'd like my script to do is 0 wget 1 launch the extractor UI, which I will briefly twiddle 2 wait for the extractor to finish 3 check that the installer and images were created 4 run the installer on the images I know how to script everything but 2: how can I do that?
