1.5.13-1 : can't cd anywhere with non-admin account

[François-David Collin]

Hello,

I upgraded from 1.5.12 to 1.5.13, and it seems that with a non-admin
account, I can't "cd" anymore : any cygwin programs trying to access
something from the "/" got a Permission denied error.

Exemples :

C:\usr\Home\fradav>bash
bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
bash: /cygdrive/c/usr/Home/fradav/.bashrc: Permission denied
bash-2.05b$ cd /
bash: cd: /: Permission denied
bash-2.05b$ cd /etc
bash: cd: /etc: Permission denied
bash-2.05b$

or :

C:\usr\Home\fradav>cat /etc/profile
cat: /etc/profile: Permission denied

C:\usr\Home\fradav>cat /
cat: /: Permission denied

Some interesting results with cygpath :

C:\usr\Home\fradav>cygpath -S
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/

C:\usr\Home\fradav>cygpath -H
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings

C:\usr\Home\fradav>cygpath -D
cygpath: error converting "" - No such file or directory

C:\usr\Home\fradav>cygpath -P
cygpath: error converting "" - No such file or directory



With an admin acocunt, all is just fine. It is also ok if I reinstall 1.5.12

Any hints? Have I missed someting? Bad acls somewhere but why it works
with 1.5.12 then?

here is my cygcheck -s -r

Re: "cannot set time" on FAT32 - after installing cygwin-1.5.13-1

[Jacek Piskozub]

Hi there,
This is the actual error message I get in the simplest case of checking 
out one file only.

   D:\mozilla_source>cvs checkout mozilla/client.mk
   U mozilla/client.mk
   CVS checkout: cannot set time on client.mk: Permission denied
Again, this is Windows ME on FAT32 with native cygwin CVS.
Again, this problems stops if I downgrade to cygwin-1.5.12-1

Can you run strace on this cvs checkout?  The calls to SetFileTime
have debug messages attached which you will see when scanning the
strace.  One prints a message along the lines of "SetFileTime (%s) failed",
the other error message is within a short range after a line with text like
"incoming lastaccess  ".


Thanks,
Corinna

1.5.13 has changed to using "traverse checking" by default which means,
it now checks not only the permissions of the files and directories
the application is accessing, but also the permissions of the parent
directories (well, as far as Windows is doing the "right thing"(tm)).

If you can't set POSIX-compatible permissions on your directory tree
for some reason, try setting the environment variable CYGWIN to
contain the word "notraverse".

Corinna, thanks you very much! the "notraverse" keyword did the trick.

I don't really understand what do you mean by "it checks the
permissions of the parent directory"... As long as I can "traverse"
with windows acls in the windows world (and it is presently the case)
I should be able to do the same with cygwin semantics, right?

Windows has traverse checking off by default. This means a user can 
access their home directory, for example, without being given access to 
to the parent directory or the root of the drive. It's a security 'feature'.

I did for both 1.5.12-1 and 1.5.13-1. The latter gave the following 
error "Cvs has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL".

As I don't know which parts of the large ouput files you want (395 kB 
for 1.5.12 and 194kB for 1.5.13 - probably truncated by the kernel32.dll 
crash) I can send you both files if you want. Or give me more specific 
instructions what you need. There is no SetFileTime string in either file.

Well, I found this in the 1.5.13-1 strace output file:

Yes, exactly.  I'm a bit surprised, though.  Can you make another test,
please?  Something like that:

$ echo foo > foo-rw
$ echo foo > foo-r
$ chmod a-w foo-r
$ touch foo-rw
$ touch foo-r

The question is this:  Do both touch succeed or does the latter touch
fail?  Even if it not fails, could you please try strace on both calls
to touch and see if you can find something like the above strace snippet?


Thanks in advance,
Corinna

You'll be surprised again. Both failed:
D:\>echo foo > foo-rw
D:\>echo foo > foo-r

D:\>touch foo-rw
/usr/bin/TOUCH: setting times of `foo-rw': Permission denied

Same result if I start bash first.

Again "strace touch foo-rw" caused a kernel32.dll crash. Something is 
fundamentally f#$%ed here.

I can send the other (foo-r) snipped later. I need to reboot now (I do 
need after every 1.5.13-1 strace crash)

Thanks very much.  I think I understand now what happens, at least
vaguely.  Sigh, time to dust off my Win98 VM.

  I dunno how to do it in a cygwin fashion, so this is OT, but you can use
the 'doze command line utility "sc":

DESCRIPTION:
SC is a command line program used for communicating with the

Don't know if this is related but a few days ago after installing
cygwin-1.5.13-1, and cygrunsrv-1.0.1-1, ssh-add started hanging on me
the first time I try to use it. If I simply CTRL+C it, and try again it
works. This happens consistently. I've tried with pdksh (my default
shell) and bash. Only seems to happen the first time I launch ssh-add
after rebooting, but I don't think it's related to MS services not
running. My PC can be up and running for hours first, and it'll still
happen. Any ideas?

Not true - some functions that only affect file metadata, such as utimes()
or chown(), only touch the ctime.  Furthermore, mtime can be arbitrarily
set (thanks to utimes()), but the POSIX notion of ctime is that it is
always an accurate snapshot of the last time something changed about a
file, and cannot be arbitrarily changed.  This is handy, for example, when
untarring an archive - it preserves atime and mtime as they were when the
archive was created, but sets ctime to the time the archive was untarred.

If you really want the old behavior, then propose a patch that adds an
option to the CYGWIN environment variable.  I envision the following:

CYGWIN="ctime=creation": never touch ctime; let it be the Windows notion
of file creation time

CYGWIN="ctime=file_change": touch ctime for file modifications (chown,
write, utimes, etc.).  This would be the default level, and matches cygwin
1.5.13 behavior.

CYGWIN="ctime=dir_change": touch ctime everywhere that POSIX requires (the
containing directory needs to be touched on creat, rename, unlink, etc.)
This is more time-consuming and not implemented in 1.5.13, because it
requires opening additional directory file handles during the course of
operation, but is necessary for more complete compliance to the standards.

Having said all that, I'm not going to be the one to implement a patch
along those lines.  If the default bothers you, you are free to fix it.

Seg Fault while using /dev/clipboard

[Pat Kane]

I am having problems using /dev/clipboard.  When there is a text
selection on the Windows clipboard things work as expected, but if
there is some other type of selection I get:   "Segmentation fault (core 
dumped)"

To duplicate the problem try:   cat  /dev/clipboard
first with a text selection and then after using Windows to copy a 
program (right click, copy),
or after taking a screen  snapshot (cntrl-alt-prntScrn).

I am using Cygwin DLL 1.5.13-1  on Win2k V5 SP4, below is the output
of cygcheck.

The attached script, remount.sh, may help to solve your problem with a
few changes as appropriate:

1. SSS
2. DDD
3. share

and if you are willing to store your Windows password in a file (i.e.,
~/.passwd).

I use remount.sh at work to remount a network share so I can backup my
local home directory (which is not otherwise backed up) to this share
(which is).

My crontab entry looks like the following:

5 2 * * * remount.sh; backup.sh ...

I'm using parenthesis, because they are not expanded before put into
the Makefile.  So they refer to the Makefile variable prefix and a
later

  make prefix=/foo

changes all depending variables.

However, as usual I forgot to *quote* the strings.  This is the correct
version:

  ./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--datadir='$(prefix)/share' \
--mandir='$(prefix)/share/man' \
--without-libiconv-prefix \
--without-libintl-prefix

Hello?  I didn't say it was a non-problem.  I wanted to find out
specifically what kind of problems we were talking about.  Supposedly,
the change will break all sorts of windows apps.

So far the answer is "it breaks cvs" (a non-native-windows app), "makes
it impossible to build Mozilla with win32...on FAT32" (a bug report
which contains no details), and "it breaks my custom application which
actually uses the windows version of ctime".  So, we're 1 for 3.

Basically, people are seeing a behavior that they don't like and just
assuming that the reason for the behavior has something to do with that
"ctime" thing they've heard so much about.  It is possible, of course,
that the ctime changes caused some other behavior as a side-effect but
blaming the change for every file related problem in 1.5.13 isn't going
to be very productive.

Don't know if this is related but a few days ago after installing

I think it may be related to your update to cygwin-1.5.13-1. This is a 
symptom that I was seeing also, but only on one machine (XP SP2 laptop) and 
only on some reboots. Please try a snapshot and report the results.

Another experiment is to reboot, and wait for the disk activity to stop. 
That is, to wait until the reboot is really finished. Then try ssh-add. That 
would be worth trying with both 1.5.13-1 and with a snapshot.

Please tell me about your system configuration. Are you running ssh-agent 
and or keychain as a service?

What may be going on is that after boot-up, the machine is busy and the new 
pipe code slows down (see postings from cgf). For me, this was causing a 
race at startup. When I prevented the race, it prevented the problem...but I 
don't think I found the problem, just sent it back into hiding.

Thanks,

What you need is the GNU C++ compiler (g++).  Search the Cygwin packages
for 'g++' on the package search page at .
Remember, the search string is a full regular expression, so '+'s need to
be escaped with '\'s.  It's also helpful to prepend "bin/" to the
executable name.

All of the mirrors on the official mirror list[*] should contain the

Ok, I can reproduce this on WinXP Pro SP1.  The last few lines of strace
before the exception[*] show a read call that executes normally, and then
a SEGV.  Someone with a debug version of Cygwin should be able to trace
through this in gdb.

> below is the output of cygcheck.

In the future, please *attach* the output of cygcheck instead of including
it inline, to avoid false positives in archive searches.  Thanks,
Igor

CSAgent warning with setup.exe

[Will Parsons]

I have cygwin 1.5.13 installed on the my WinXP machine at work.  The IT
department apparently has recently installed Cisco Security Agent and now
when I run setup.exe I get a warning message that setup.exe "tried to make
system call from self-modifying code" and that this may mean the program
has been subverted by a buffer overflow attack.

Is this true and if so is it something I should worry about?

cygcheck output is attached (if I've done this right).

- Will

As I hit "Send", I realized that I have a (slightly older) debug version
of the DLL compiled from CVS, that also exhibits this problem.  I don't
have time to delve into this now, but, just in case it helps, here's the
gdb trace:

  Hmmph.  Calling strlen on a NULL pointer.  D'oh!

void __stdcall
fhandler_dev_clipboard::read (void *ptr, size_t& len)
{
  HGLOBAL hglb;
  size_t ret;
  UINT formatlist[2];
  UINT format;
  if (eof)
len = 0;
  else
{
  formatlist[0] = cygnativeformat;
  formatlist[1] = current_codepage == ansi_cp ? CF_TEXT : CF_OEMTEXT;
  OpenClipboard (0);
  if ((format = GetPriorityClipboardFormat (formatlist, 2)) <= 0)
{
  CloseClipboard ();
#if 0
  system_printf ("a non-accepted format! %d", format);
#endif
  len = 0;
}
  else
{
  hglb = GetClipboardData (format);
  if (format == cygnativeformat)
{
  unsigned char *buf = (unsigned char *) GlobalLock (hglb);
  size_t buflen = (*(size_t *) buf);
  ret = ((len > (buflen - pos)) ? (buflen - pos) : len);
  memcpy (ptr, buf + sizeof (size_t)+ pos , ret);
  pos += ret;
  if (pos + len - ret >= buflen)
eof = true;
  GlobalUnlock (hglb);
}
  else
{
  LPSTR lpstr;
  lpstr = (LPSTR) GlobalLock (hglb);

  ret = ((len > (strlen (lpstr) - pos)) ? (strlen (lpstr) - pos)
 : len);

  So, GetClipboardData is failing and returning NULL.

  Dunno why the compiler didn't warn.  This seems to fix it ok.  Attached as

Is this true and if so is it something I should worry about?
setup.exe does contain some legitimate self-modifying code (in autoload.c if

So, it's fairly likely this is a false alarm.

I'm using parenthesis, because they are not expanded before put into

OK. Some configures do try to evaluate them, though (against autoconf

any reason you're not following the usual patch guidelines like, say,
sending the patch to cygwin-patches and, that's even more important,
adding a ChangeLog entry?

  Sheer absent mindedness.  I'll resend to the -patches list, with, as you

I just checked in a patch which changes the UINTs to int's as that is
what is actually returned by GetPriorityClipboardFormat.  I assume that
will fix this problem.

Mmmm. Leftovers. I'll clean that out in the next release.

CHere didn't work because you either have an old or custom /etc/profile.

Yes, that does the job, but not completely.

Look for the correct snippet in a recent /etc/defaults/etc/profile (part of the
base-files package). If you don't have other modifications in /etc/profile copy
the default file, which was updated recently. This also means you will pick up
further base-files modifications when they are released.

>Whether this will fix it for all shells, I'm not sure.

The cd occurs in /etc/profile for bash, ash, and pdksh; /etc/zprofile for zsh;
/etc/csh.login for tcsh.

An appropriate modification for zprofile can be found in
/usr/share/doc/zsh-/StartupFiles/etc/zprofile (installed with zsh).
zprofile is updated in a similar way to profile, so use the default if you want
to pick up updates.

Appropriate modifications for csh.login should appear in the next release. They
are similar to that in profile.

>Thanks for a great utility.

Not a problem.

As the package search reveals (try using it!) you need the w32api
package.

However, this package is listed as a dependency of gcc so it should have
been selected when you selected gcc.  Perhaps you used setup in such as
way as to override its choices, which is not a good idea.  If setup
picks packages that you think you don't need when you select something
that you do need, keep those selections.

Re: Listing services

[Brian Dessent]

David Rothenberger wrote:

> I do it with the following script which uses /proc.

That's an interesting script but it has a couple of deficiencies.  It
does not list services with names that start with a "." and it breaks on
services with a space in the name when -n is used.  It's also very slow
with -n, as there's no need to invoke awk once for each service, and
using forking /bin/cat to read each description is costly.

Here's a slightly tweaked version that fixes the above problems and runs
about 30 times faster.  (0m13.722s down to 0m0.489s on my system at
least.)

#!/bin/sh

usage() {

There is a package named "clear" that you can download and install using
setup.  One can find it under "Utils".

I've also got the following in my .bashrc:

alias cls='echo -n ^[[2J'

windowsscriptinghost

[Alexander Thurban]

How do I run wsh-files from cygwin? In cmd.exe I can just write 
nameofthescript.vbs to run it.

"cygstart nameofthescript.vbs" or "cmd nameofthescript.vbs" should work.

1.5.13: ssh -2 to sshd fails

[Isaiah]

I installed openssh on a host (cygwin.out-ad1 attached), used
ssh-host-config -y.  After starting the service, when I tried to ssh to it,
I received the error message:

Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

This was puzzling, because it worked fine on another host several
months earlier (cygwin.out-mx1 attached).

Both have default sshd_config files, so protocol 1 and 2 are active.

ssh -1 from unix clients succeeds to the problematic host.  ssh -2 from
itself succeeds on the problematic host (interesting!).  ssh -2 from unix
clients fails to the problematic host.  ssh -2 from other cygwin ssh
clients also fails to the problematic host.

Using verbose options with the ssh clients did not yield helpful
information.  

Starting sshd with -ddd appeared to change behavior slightly; the
server would stop the service after each failed ssh attempt.  By design?
I've attached the sshd.log from a single start-and-fail-then-die.

There are no firewalls involved.

I would really like -2 to succeed.  Is there more information I can
provide to help?

Thanks for your time in advance,

Bug diff 2.8.7: Separate dir

[Arend-Jan Westhoff]

Noticed that when diff is run with two differing files,
one with and one without a directory specifier:
diff a someDir\b
then all lines are reported as different.
Whereas when both have a directory specifier:
diff .\a someDir\b
output is normal.
(Filenames, argument order or using -d seem irrelevant.
Using / instead of \ makes output normal also:
diff a someDir/b
output is normal.
Similarly when comparing a and someDir\a as:
diff a someDir
output is also normal.
)

As an illustration I have provide a sample batch file.
(It creates up to two directories and two files):
**
@echo off
setlocal

set bugdir=showSeparateDirDiffBug
if not exist %bugdir%\ md %bugdir%
pushd %bugdir%

set subdir=adir
if not exist %subdir%\ md %subdir%

set file1=a
set file2=%subdir%\%file1%

echo a>%file1%
echo a>>%file1%
echo a>>%file1%

echo a>%file2%
echo b>>%file2%
echo a>>%file2%

echo This batch file: %0
echo.
diff --version
rem Bug
rem same: diff -d %file1% %file2%
diff %file1% %file2%
rem OK
diff .\%file1% %file2%

popd
endlocal
**
I expect this to run as is on a not too old version of the Windows NT
line of OS.
On my Windows 2000 system this produces the following output:
*
This batch file: separateDirDiffBug.bat

Since the relevant factor seems to be a directory specifier this bug is
probably Cygwin specific.

(Btw I used a batch file so that the only Cygwin functionality used would be 
directly bug related for clarity. If there is a different format that would
make
it easier to add to the testscripts that are used for the automatic testing
of 
these utilities please provide me with an example so I can model future
similar bugreports along those lines.)

I cannot reproduce this, either from a bash prompt or from cmd using
your .bat file:

$ cat a
a
a
a

$ cat somedir\\b
a
b
a

$ diff a somedir\\b
2c2

It's probably a textmode/binmode issue, though I don't know why
switching between '\' and '/' as the path seperator changes it --
although the Cygwin path handling code is complex and I can't pretend to
understand it.

There was no attached cygcheck so I don't know how your mounts are setup
but from what I've read, using textmode mounts with tools like cvs and
diff is a recipe for disaster.

Exim says TCP port "smtp" not found

[John Kim]

I just downloaded & installed Cygwin w/ Exim on a Windows 2000 box and...
 - ran exim-conf successfully
 - chmod-ed all the log files & directories to SYSTEM:root
 - created the /var/mail and /var/spool/mail directories.
When I try to start exim service ("net start exim" from Cygwin bash shell) 
it says that it cannot be started. When I look in the log files, it says (in 
cygrunsrv_err.log):
 TCP port "smtp" not found.

I looked in /etc/services and SMTP at port 25 is there (I hadn't touched the 
file to begin with).

What should I do?

Is there any documentation about running Tomcat on
Cygwin?

passwordless ssh (2) failing

[Charles Galpin]

Hi Folks
This should not be a cygwin issue, but I am completely stumped, so I 
thought I had better rule this out.

I have two identical windows 2003 servers with cygwin and openssh 
installed. On one, my passwordless key which I use on other linux 
servers primarily, allows me to ssh to the windows server no problem. 
The second "problem" box fails with the error below. I installed 
openssh the same way with privilege seperation, and have verified all 
permissions are identical. The entire .ssh directory is a copy from the 
"good" box.

Any and all advise welcomed, even if it is to tell me that this is no 
way in hell related to windows/cygwin/openssh

thanks
charles

Dave,

I don't recall if this was part of the discussion, but any particular
reason you're not doing this in a /etc/profile.d script instead?  That
way, it would work even with a custom /etc/profile.

I can reproduce this (even under bash).  All you need is a textmode mount
and files with CRLF line endings.

Having a '\' in a filename bypasses Cygwin's mounts and uses regular
Windows mechanisms for opening the file.  Reading a file on a textmode
mount will translate CRLF line endings to normal LFs.  No wonder 'diff' is
confused.

Yep.  One possible workaround is to use the '--strip-trailing-cr' option
to diff, which will make it insensitive to textmode/binmode line endings.

Upon re-reading this, the above seems to imply that this is a bug.  I just
want to clarify that, as explained below, this is NOT a bug, but intended
behavior.  The "workaround" mentioned below is for a faulty setup
(textmode mounts and '\'s in paths), not for any perceived bug.

Read , and follow its directions for
reporting Cygwin-related problems.  However, my crystal ball informs me
that you have installed Cygwin as "Just for me".  See the FAQ on "Why
don't my services work?": .

Oops indeed.  Since the messages weren't in the same thread, I fired off
the previous reply before seeing this.  Turns out I was wrong in my guess.

Is /etc readable to the SYSTEM user?  Is /etc/services (or, rather, the
file it's pointing to) readable?  In fact, is / readable (the new versions
of Cygwin have traverse checking turned on, so if a directory isn't
readable or executable, none of the entries underneath it can be
accessed).
Igor
P.S. FYI, you didn't attach your cygcheck output, but included it inline.

Re: Running Tomcat on Cygwin

Tomcat itself is a Java program.  There is no special Cygwin JVM, so you'd
need to have a native Windows JVM.  Given that, Tomcat works just fine.
However, if you want to run the Unix shell scripts supplied with Tomcat,
you'll need to use the java wrapper scripts that I posted to this list
(Google for "cygwin java_wrapper.sh"), since the JVM, being a native
program, doesn't understand POSIX (Cygwin) paths.

> Is there any documentation about running Tomcat on Cygwin?

Not that I know of.  If you use the wrapper scripts mentioned above, the
regular Unix documentation should apply.

These last two steps are OK but not necessary.

This is a sign of trouble with winsock, getservbyname() is one
of the initial network calls.
There must be something special with your environment...
Do you perhaps have a user called "exim" in /etc/passwd ?
If so, remove it.
Also, do you run exim under the system account?

There was a very long thread about that problem two years ago, ending with
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02099.html
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg02189.html
If you don't have an "exim" user, we are in for some similar debugging :(
