The -Wl, flag also works for ACE, thanks for this workaround, I am
committing it to ACE soon.

Cygwin sshd started as service doesn't respect mount points

[Claus-Thomas Buhl]

I have installed Cygwin sshd as a service and these are the mount points
of interest:
D:\Programme\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
E:\Benutzer\buhl on /home/buhl type system (binmode)
Under /home/buhl/.ssh (that is E:\Benutzer\buhl\.ssh), I have setup my
.ssh folder with my ssh keys.
When I now try to do a `ssh localhost', sshd looks for my ssh keys in
D:\Programme\cygwin\home\buhl\.ssh which means that sshd doesn't respect
the mount point /home/buhl.
I had to copy my .ssh folder from E:\Benutzer\buhl\.ssh to
D:\Programme\cygwin\home\buhl\.ssh to make `ssh localhost' work which is
obviously redundant and thus not easy to maintain.
Regards,
CTB

RE: Problem after upgrade to gcc-3.3.3

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

New results are online, everything is fine again. What I also see is that
with 3.3.1 we got warnings about mixing declspec import/export with inline,
all those warnings are gone again.

Cygwin, samba, smbntsec and domain groups

[Dan Alderman]

Hi guys and girls,

I know from looking at the lists this topic has been covered many times
before, but I don't seem to be able to find the answers I'm looking for,
or at least I'm missing them.  Sorry if this has already been covered
and I missed it.

Background.
===

I have a small network of developers who need to use windows machines as
some of the tools we require are Windoze only :-(.  Being a bunch of
Linux people we opted to try and do everything under Cygwin using make
etc so our build system works on both platforms. So far so good.  In an
effort to keep things neat and tidy I have created a Samba PDC so user
profiles follow people around, and people work on the same filestore
regardless of being on Windows / Linux.  The Samba server is a Debian
Woody box using Samba 3.0.5 from www.backports.org.

I have pasted in my configuration for the Samba server at the end of the
email under the section "Configuration and tool output".

Domain logons seem to be fine, profiles are being saved correctly and
windows usage itself is hunky dory.

The output from cygcheck -s is at the bottom underneath the smb.conf.

The problem.


My Samba server has the group mapping database populated, this is the
entry for my user in the group map.

dan (S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3001) -> dan

This is the output from pdbedit for my user

Last bad password   : 0
Bad password count  : 0

There actually seems to be a few problems with the setup, but I'm not
sure if they are related.

First of all there seems to be an inconsistency with the Cygwin tools
for creating the passwd and group files.

If I run mkpasswd -d to get my domain user details I get

[EMAIL PROTECTED] j] $ mkpasswd -d
dan:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:13000:13001: \
Dan Alderman,U-180SOFTWARE\dan,S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3000: \
//gawain/dan:/bin/bash

And then for the group details I get this

[EMAIL PROTECTED] j] $ mkgroup -d
dan:S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3000:13001:

You may have noticed that this seems somewhat inconsistent as according
to the groupmap output my group id is this (notice the 3001 on the end)

dan (S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3001) -> dan

Does this mean there is an off by 1 error somewhere in the tools?  If I
put these entries as shown into /etc/group and /etc/passwd respectively
an ls in a cygwin terminal gives me:

-rwxr--r--1 dan  0 Aug 13 09:52 test

This is with the CYGWIN variable set to smbntsec.  If I edit /etc/group
manually and change the line to read:

dan:S-1-5-21-283032880-4000665858-140500845-3001:13001:

(Notice the ...140500845-3000 is now ...140500845-3001) I get sensible
output from an ls -l as shown.  The permissions even match what is on
the server :-)

-rwxr--r--1 dan  dan 0 Aug 13 09:52 test

Is this to be expected, has it been seen before? Could something be
corrupt somewhere or is this just a bug? I also cannot chown the files
from the Cygwin terminal, I get permission denied.  Is that expected?

I also have a problem with XEmacs on Cygwin.  I installed using the
"all/unix" mode rather than "myself/native".  XEmacs seems unable to
write a file on the network share, whenever it tries I get a 

Opening output file: Permission denied, /cygdrive/j/.xemacs/recent

(That error was created when trying to exit, I ended up having to kill
the process).

I shall try XEmacs using the native mode install and see if that makes a
difference, but I'd really like to use the non native version as the
path names are unix style.

If anyone can help shed some light on the situation it would be most
appreciated, I been trying to fix this for almost a week now and it's
getting very frustrating.

Many thanks for taking the time if you got this far :-)  Any help is
most appreciated.

Kind regards,

Dan.

SSH drops connection immediately after MOTD

[Jørgen Frøjk Kjærsgaard]

I'm having a strange problem with Cygwin SSHD on a Windows Server 2003. I can
log in with password authentication without any problems, but with RSA
authentication, a session is opened and immediately closes again.

ssh -v localhost says:

...
debug1: Sending response to host key RSA challenge.
debug1: Remote: RSA authentication accepted.
debug1: RSA authentication accepted by server.
debug1: Requesting pty.
debug1: Requesting shell.
debug1: Entering interactive session.
Last login: Fri Aug 13 14:39:26 2004 from 127.0.0.1
Connection to localhost closed.
debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 54, stderr 33 bytes in 0.2 seconds
debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 306.8, stderr 187.5
debug1: Exit status 255

With password authentication something slightly different happens at the end
which gives me a useful login:

debug1: Next authentication method: password
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.

If I use RSA authentication but don't request a tty (ssh -T), the connection
is still closes immediately.

Any ideas about what may be wrong?

Interesting how some of the vaguely erroneous entries are modded up as
"interesting" or "informative".

Seems like at least some people think that somehow "Red Hat" has put its
full corporate might behind cygwin, which is pretty funny.

ssh & ssh-agent weirdness

[Dan Alderman]

Hi again,

This is kind of related to my previous post (Subject: Cygwin, samba,
smbntsec and domain groups) but is sufficiently different enough to
warrant a new thread I think.

On my XP boxes I have Cygwin installed with domain users in
/etc/passwd.  I have been unable to get ssh to work correctly regardless
of whether the CYGWIN envar set to smbntsec or just ntsec due to file
permission problems (outlined in my previous post).

I have just discovered that if I run ssh-agent using

$ eval `ssh-agent`

then

$ ssh-add



it all works all of a sudden (i.e. I can ssh -A to any machine and get
straight in) regardless of what Cygwin thinks the permissions on my
~/.ssh/id_dsa are.

Is this expected behaviour?

I believe I should be setting smbntsec as the home drives are samba
mounts, but that seems to screw up the group numbers, they all become
off by one (please see my other post for more details).  Can someone
shed any light on this please?  I'm sure this is all related to the ssh
problem that I am seeing in the first place (i.e. it won't correctly
work without the agent).

Thanks muchly.

Dan.

IIRC, core modules are installed into the main path, replacing the old
version.  And one should always use `UNINST=1` when installing modules
anyway (I have this as default in my CPAN config file).

WFM in /tmp.  I guess I can only point to .
Beyond that, maybe you'll find the results of strace helps you figure out
what's going on in your environment.

  'What do you get from "ls -l
/cygdrive/u/dl/Jython/jython/dist/jython.bat"?' is not the same question as
'Can you run it?'

  This isn't windoze, this is *nix.  We don't decide if a file is an
executable by looking at the last four characters of its filename; we look
and see if it has the unix 'x' perm for (user, group, other) as appropriate.

  Your .bat file may be executable, in practice, but that doesn't mean it
has the x perm applied; it could just be a side-effect of a mountpoint with
the -x flag.

  So give us the ls -la output along with your cygcheck.

cheers, 
  DaveK

Okay. It gets weirder:

/home/corrada
45 % strace jython.bat
Jython 2.2a0 on java1.4.2_05 (JIT: null)
>>> import sys
>>> sys.exit(0)

/home/corrada
46 % jython.bat
jython.bat: Command not found.

Why does 'strace jython.bat' work but not 'jython.bat'?

setup shows categories not packages in partial view

[Don Sharp]

Hi Everyone

Have I missed something? I am running setup and when I look at the Full
or Partial views the version numbers are shown against the Category name
rather than the package name. Should I have a new setup.exe? I hope it
isn't meant to look like that as it is not at all helpful.

Anyone else seeing this effect?

No, I have tried a few times and cannot reproduce the error (yet).  What
is the exact command line that triggers the above stack trace?

Apache CGI Scripts - Network layer permission denied

[Peter Flanigan]

When I run CGI scripts from Apache I'm getting permission denied errors.

use Net::protoent;
my $p = getprotobyname(shift || 'tcp');

if (defined $p) {
 printf("proto for %s is %d, aliases are %s\n",
  $p->name, $p->proto, "@{$p->aliases}");
} else {
 printf("Bad protocol 'tcp'\n");
}

This correctly turns ths string 'tcp' into the number 6 via lookup in
/etc/protocols when run from the pdksh prompt. Returns the bad protocol
error when run as a CGI script from Apache. Apache is being started (by
apachectl start) from the same shell prompt which correctly runs the script.
In general I'm finding that all network related calls (creating new sockets
and similar) are failing.

I also note (and think that it's related) that uname -n returns the correct
mixed case hostname when run from the shell prompt but returns an incorrect
(all upper case) string when run from the cgi-bin/test-cgi shell script.
This eliminates Perl from the equation.

I think this is the same problem as posted to this mailing list by:

Richard Morse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Problems with Amanda and Cygwin 1.5.10
28/07/2004

and

"David A. Rogers" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Socket problem w/ apache & perl cgi
30/07/2004

I did not notice any follow up posts to these queries (my spam filter was
rejecting some Cygwin mailing list posts).

"Can't get list of download sites."

[Thomas L Roche]

I recently upgraded my Cygwin, using setup.exe, and everything works
nicely ... except setup! When I do  from Internet, I
get the error dialog

> Error

However all my other networking is OK, e.g. I can browse to

http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst

without difficulty. When I do this with Connection Type=Direct
Connection (my {usual, correct} setting), I get

  Because strace is a win32 exe, not a cygwin one.

Nope.  Are you sure that you made the window large enough to see the package 
names?  They're to the right of the category names.

BTW, I've redirected the discussion to the cygwin-apps list, which is the 
more appropriate place to discuss 'setup.exe'.  I also set the 'Reply-To' to 
point to that list.  Any follow-ups should go to that list rather than 
the Cygwin list.

If you're running ZoneAlarm5, try downgrading or uninstalling and 
reinstalling a different firewall.  ZoneAlarm affects your TCP/IP 
stack even without it running.  There have been lots of problems 
reported on the Cygwin/X list about ZoneAlarm5, though the issues
there are a bit different.  But it's something to try.

igawk problem

[Hans Horn]

 Group,

I have a rather lengthy awk script (that internally includes a bunch of awk 
library functions; therefore I'm using igawk).

When I invoke it, e.g. like

echo | igawk -f script.awk
eval: gawk: argument list too long

The script and the awk library functions together make up approx. 34kByte.

Does anybody have a clue whether I'm running here into a hard shell limit, 
or some internal limit of gawk?

thx,
H.

Hmm ... I've got Zone Labs Integrity Client 3.5, dunno how that

AFAIK setup.exe has nothing to do with X--am I missing something?

I tried to install it from the internet, and I was getting the same
problem, hence I resorted to installing it locally, to see if there would
be a difference. Thanks for your suggestions abt permissions (I tried
that but permissions seem to be ok), I will keep trying. Let me know if
you come up with any other ideas.

Ok, that's probably different then.  If you've made any changes recently 
that affect your firewall, that's something to check though.

No, you're not.  I brought up Cygwin/X to explain the source of the 
information and issues surrounding ZoneAlarm.  X has nothing to do 
with your problem.  But there's a (remote) chance that your 'setup.exe'
problem is firewall related.  That's all I was suggesting.

No. But now I see, you are building in the "build_win32" subdirectory.
The Windows version cannot be compiled with Cygwin, the Unix version
is distributed.

Look in the source package from the Cygwin distribution, there is a
patchfile, this is what I used to build BDB for the release.  There is
also a script which may be helpful.

This looks like an upstream igawk portability bug -- the lines
