I do not have access to Windows 9x and (unfortunately) have not used
PostgreSQL seriously for 3 years now, so I'm not particularly motivated
to work on this problem.

Sorry,
Jason

I'm glad PostgreSQL is working for you, but it appears that there is a
Windows 9x problem lurking that may bite you in the future... :,(

By default, ssh is an interactive program, even if the program it invokes
isn't.  Therefore, ssh contains some code that sets up standard input and
its properties.  This code may cause some problems when invoked from a
non-pty-aware application (such as a C# program).  You can redirect
standard input, as you've already discovered, or simply use the '-n'
option to ssh.

Right. Thanks for the cacls info. What's happening is this:

1) All files created by setup have ACL:

> c:\ BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F 
> PIGFUCKER\Friends:(OI)(CI)F 
> NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F 
Note that neither you personally, nor the standard group, Users,
nor Everyone has any access. So ls -l shows no permissions and
a "+". Nonetheless you have full access because you are in Admins.

2) When the sh postinstall scripts run (with ntsec), they create
files according to POSIX rules. The owner is you. Fish, the group
is Users. 

3) Files that are created from scratch (e.g. /etc/passwd) have OK
permissions. 

4) However man.sh and base-files-profile.sh (and perhaps others) use
cp, which copies the (umasked) permission bits from the source
file, ignoring the acl. Thus you have no access to the files
copied from /etc/defaults. 

What should be done? I see two avenues.
a) One could run the postinstall scripts (except those that chown
or chmod) with nontsec. They would then create files with the normal
Windows inheritance rules and one would have uniform permissions
for all files, whether created by setup or by postinstall scripts.
b) Scripts that use cp should create an empty destination file before 
doing the cp (or call chmod after cp, or set nontsec before cp).

This is wrong.  "ssh -X/-Y" will not enable X11 forwarding *unless*
DISPLAY is set in the local shell.

This, however, is sound advice.  Try running ssh without the -X flag (or
even with a -x flag) and see if DISPLAY is still set.

Also correct.

All of the above variables are optional, and will get default values if
not defined.  The default for CYGWIN is empty, PATH will be the Windows
PATH (also adjusted in /etc/profile), the rules for HOME are in the
mailing list archives (most often it comes from /etc/passwd if valid),
TERM is set to "cygwin" for the CMD.EXE window, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
empty and I don't believe it's even used in Cygwin (Windows uses PATH to
search for DLLs).

Some variables (e.g., CYGWIN) need to be set before a Cygwin process
loads.  Besides, there are some rc scripts that execute before ~/.bashrc
(in particular, /etc/profile for login shells).

Assuming you run Cygwin sshd, this will inherit the environment variables
you set for the ssh daemon using cygrunsrv.  Another alternative is using
"rxvt -display :0 -T Cygwin -e bash -li", which will use the native
Windows GUI with no need for sshd.

C compiler cannot create executables

[Al Bogner]

I am new to cygwin and unfortunately I have to install _offline_ and 
have a slow dial-up connection on the other pc too. Someone 
recommended me to install online on another pc and copy the files 
to the other pc, but I downloaded 730MB till now, which I don't 
want to throw away.

So could you please help me to get compilation running. I tried lame 
and cdrtools and both end with a message like "C compiler cannot 
create executables".

When I search the net, I found two solutions for similar problems, 
package missing or compiler broken. Or maybe it is a simple right 
problem?

Which package could be missing? For my installed packages please see 
below. I installed "gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (cygming special)", where can I 
download 2.95.3?

You *may* have to throw away some of the downloaded packages, but only if
you downloaded from a corrupt mirror.  Unfortunately, you haven't provided
the information necessary for this list to determine which mirror you used
or what the state of your system is (see 
for details).

BTW, if I understand correctly, the above paragraph was intended to ward
off the "blow away your Cygwin and reinstall" type of advice.  FWIW,
reinstalling doesn't involve redownloading the packages -- setup.exe will
use the local versions if present.

This sounds like a message from configure.  Look in the config.log file
that is produced by configure for the exact error.  Also, check that a
simple "hello world" program can be compiled with gcc and executed.

You're making an assumption here that may not be valid.  Please review the
problem reporting instructions at the link above, and see if config.log
sheds any light on this.

Oh, and in the future, please *attach* the output of cygcheck, since
including it inline produces false positives on archive searches.

http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin-inst-20040802.tar.bz2 contains extra files?

[Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]

I downloaded and installed
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/cygwin-inst-20040802.tar.bz2

and was a bit surprised to see that it included files normally in the
w32api and mingw-runtime packages as well as a few other files (and
/bin/dumper.exe which is normally in the cygwin package was missing).

When I revert from a snapshot to the normal released version, I usually
just reinstall the cygwin package; it would be nice to have some
notification on the http://cygwin.com/snapshots page if more than that
is needed (unless this was just a one time snafu).

And, from what I can see, you're somehow missing the 'binutils' package.
You won't get very far with 'gcc' without it, even if it isn't the 
precise cause of the configure script complaint that you're getting
(which it may be but I can't tell from the information provided).

dumper missing is a problem.  The extra files are not.

Ok, I can live with that.  It does seem to me that it creates a
problem further down the line: if one installs a snapshot and later
upgrades to the next version of the cygwin package, cygcheck would not
report anything to indicate that what is installed is in any way
non-standard.

If this creates a problem for you then it sounds like you definitely
should not be using snapshots.

Does the top function exist in cygwin?

[Aldi Kraja]

Hi,
I had the impression that I had seen the "top" function in cygwin. Does 
it exist in cygwin, or we use only the Windows Task Manager for 
evaluating the performance of different processes?
TIA,
Aldi

Re: Initdb FATAL error shmat - Win98 Cygwin 1.5.10-3 - PostgreSQL 7.4.3

[Mos]

I was happy that worked... but I do not why, when I reboot my computer, it 
works not !
(I change nothing !)

When the initdb was ok, the number of shared detected buffers was 1000 
(instead au 50 when fails).

Since I do not succeed in new initdb command.

I'm glad PostgreSQL is working for you, but it appears that there is a
Windows 9x problem lurking that may bite you in the future... :,(

Re: Redirect stdout from SSH

[David E. Meier]

Thank you Igor for your helpful explanation. The '-n' flag does the trick,
too. And looking at the man pages now just makes me wonder why I did not
RTFM well enough before! ;-)

-bash:fork:Resource temporarily unavailable

[Jamuna Chandran]

Hi, 

I’ve installed cygwin 1.5.10 on Win Server 2003. 

Initially I couldn’t get sshd started with cygrunsrv 1.0.1.

 When I re-installed with cygrunsrv 0.98, I had no problems starting the
service. Still using cygwin 1.5.10.

I could establish a connection from a remote PC, but I couldn’t get the
following command to work:

$ ssh-keygen -i -f .ssh2/arkey.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
19244135 [main] -bash 3544 sync_with_child: child 1952(0x6DC) died
before initialization with status code 0x80
19250681 [main] -bash 3544 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for
longjmp
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong? Are there any known problems with
cygwin and Win Server 2003?

Regards,
Jamuna Chandran
