Huh, I could have sworn I'd added a note about rxvt and CYGWIN=tty once 
before, but obviously not. It'll be in the next update.

Hi Brian,

What kernel version and what NPTL version do you have installed?



Kind regards

I don't believe this is a valid test case.  It has a severe memory leak,
that's definite.  But it does the exact same thing under Linux:

$ ./example1 >/dev/null & thepid=$! ; while cat /proc/$thepid/stat | awk
'{ print $24*4 }'; do sleep 3; done  [1] 1310
1088
61820
136244
206468
0
[1]+  Bus error   ./example1 >/dev/null
cat: /proc/1310/stat: No such file or directory

This runs the program and prints its RSS in Kbytes every three seconds.
As you can see it very quickly consumes all memory and crashes to a
halt.  Whatever this problem is, I do not think it's related to Cygwin
in any way, except for the fact that it takes much longer under Cygwin
to exhaust all memory due to the slower pthread locking compared to
Linux.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: openssl-0.9.8-1, openssl-devel-0.9.8-1 (New: openssl097-0.9.7g-1)

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of OpenSSL to 0.9.8-1.  This also includes the
openssl-devel package.

This is a new upstream release.  The Cygwin release is the vanilla
version, no additional patches.


===
IMPORTANT NOTE:

The old OpenSSL version 0.9.7 is still available as a runtime package
called openssl097.  The openssl package depends on openssl097 so by
loading the new package you'll also get the old one.  This is necessary
since otherwise all packages using the OpenSSL DLLs would stop working,
because they are linked against the OpneSSL 0.9.7 DLLs.

You have been warned.
===


Official release message:
===

  OpenSSL version 0.9.8 released
  ==

  OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS
  http://www.openssl.org/

  The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of
  version 0.9.8 of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS.  This new
  OpenSSL version is a major release and incorporates many new
  features as well as major fixes compared to 0.9.7x.  For a complete
  list of changes, please see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES .

  The most significant changes are:

o Major work on the BIGNUM library for higher efficiency and to
  make operations more streamlined and less contradictory.  This
  is the result of a major audit of the BIGNUM library.
o Addition of BIGNUM functions for fields GF(2^m) and NIST
  curves, to support the Elliptic Crypto functions.
o Major work on Elliptic Crypto; ECDH and ECDSA added, including
  the use through EVP, X509 and ENGINE.
o New ASN.1 mini-compiler that's usable through the OpenSSL
  configuration file.
o Added support for ASN.1 indefinite length constructed encoding.
o New PKCS#12 'medium level' API to manipulate PKCS#12 files.
o Complete rework of shared library construction and linking
  programs with shared or static libraries, through a separate
  Makefile.shared.
o Rework of the passing of parameters from one Makefile to another.
o Changed ENGINE framework to load dynamic engine modules
  automatically from specifically given directories.
o New structure and ASN.1 functions for CertificatePair.
o Changed the ZLIB compression method to be stateful.
o Changed the key-generation and primality testing "progress"
  mechanism to take a structure that contains the ticker
  function and an argument.
o New engine module: GMP (performs private key exponentiation).
o New engine module: VIA PadLOck ACE extension in VIA C3
  Nehemiah processors.
o Added support for IPv6 addresses in certificate extensions.
  See RFC 1884, section 2.2.
o Added support for certificate policy mappings, policy
  constraints and name constraints.
o Added support for multi-valued AVAs in the OpenSSL
  configuration file.
o Added support for multiple certificates with the same subject
  in the 'openssl ca' index file.
o Make it possible to create self-signed certificates using
  'openssl ca -selfsign'.
o Make it possible to generate a serial number file with
  'openssl ca -create_serial'.
o New binary search functions with extended functionality.
o New BUF functions.
o New STORE structure and library to provide an interface to all
  sorts of data repositories.  Supports storage of public and
  private keys, certificates, CRLs, numbers and arbitrary blobs.
  This library is unfortunately unfinished and unused withing
  OpenSSL.
o New control functions for the error stack.
o Changed the PKCS#7 library to support one-pass S/MIME
  processing.
o Added the possibility to compile without old deprecated
  functionality with the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED macro or the
  'no-deprecated' argument to the config and Configure scripts.
o Constification of all ASN.1 conversion functions, and other
  affected functions.
o Improved platform support for PowerPC.
o New FIPS 180-2 algorithms (SHA-224, -256, -384 and -512).
o New X509_VERIFY_PARAM structure to support parametrisation
  of X.509 path validation.
o Major overhaul of RC4 performance on Intel P4, IA-64 and
  AMD64.
o Changed the Configure script to have some algorithms disabled
  by default.  Those can be explicitely enabled with the new
  argument form 'enable-xxx'.
o Change the default digest in 'openssl' commands from MD5 to
  SHA-1.
o Added support for DTLS.
o New BIGNUM blinding.
o Added support for the RSA-PSS encryption scheme
o Added support for the RSA X.931 padding.
o Added support for BSD sockets on NetWare.
o Added support for files larger than 2GB.
o Added initial support for Win64.
o Added alternate pkg-conf

Re: SV: Bug in printf ?

[Lev Bishop]

I don't think there is any bug here. This is what I've seen from a
little digging:

1) cygwin strtod rounds to even, with about DECIMAL_DIG (==21) digits
precision, as recommended by 7.20.1.3 of WG14/N843. (It acts strange
when the rounding mode is not round to nearest, but since newlib
doesn't provide fesetround(), that's your own problem if you insist on
changing rounding mode by hand, as I understand it).

2) cygwin gcc rounds with *lots* more precision than DECIMAL_DIG,
about 50 digits. It rounds towards zero. These behaviours are a little
different than the recommendation in 6.4.4.2 Ibid., which says
constants should be converted as if by strtod() at runtime, but its
not a big difference.

3) cygwin printf correctly rounds to even, even out to about 41 digits.

4) I have no idea what mingw is doing, but it's different to the
above. Gcc constructs the same double precision constants as on cygwin
but strtod() is different and seems to have less precision, and
printf() seems to work with about 16 digits precision. At a glance I'd
say it rounds to zero, with exactly the precision of

The closest double to 0.105 is actually
0.10499611421941381195210851728916168212890625, and this
is what printf() is (correctly) handed, and what it (correctly) rounds
to 0.10.

But I don't think that "truncating it and then rounding the truncated
version" is what printf() does. If we give it 0.125 and 0.375, which
are both representible exactly, then it rounds to 0.12 and 0.38, ie
one goes up and one goes down, to round to even. You can see it's not
simply truncating if you give it 0.1251, which gets
rounded to 0.13 not 0.12 as it would for truncation.

To summarize: cygwin does the right thing

Ie, it looks like the cygwin build works slightly nicer than mingw
with plenty of extra precision for conversions to and from decimal,
and round-to-even for runtime conversions, which is a good thing.

Under FreeBSD-5.4 I get the following:

  Thanks a great deal for looking at this; I'm not any kind of an FP expert,
I just have a grasp of the basics.  I've tried the testcase on an RH system
and yes, glibc and newlib agree here.  What mingw does is simple: it calls
M$'s implementation in the msvcrt library, so blame the beast of redmond for
the technically-incorrect-yet-reasonable-seeming behaviour.

Connection closed by foreign host

[Keith Starsmeare]

I'm having a problem with telnet. If I execute a long running command that 
doesn't output anything (like a while loop moving lots of files) then quite 
often I eventually lose the connection. What's worse is that I don't realise 
that I've lost the connection until I press return (or Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z) in 
the (rxvt) window.

You get similar behaviour if you set TMOUT, but I haven't.

Anyone know why it's happening, and if there is something I can do about it?

Application sending Router Solicitation packet

[L. D. Marks]

I've seen a couple of times a fortran program (g77 compilation under
cygwin) attempting to send (according to my Sygate Firewall) an ICMP Type
10 (Router Solicitation) packet. The latest case wants to send to
224.0.0.2 -- I did not keep a record of previous cases. The code contains
no system calls (certainly nothing tcp or router related), is stable and
has worked for years compiled on a range of systems. If I ignore what
the firewall is saying I get another attempt, one from
c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe and another from another fortran code.

1) There are arrays going out of bounds (always possible) which is
somehow triggering one of the cygwin dll's to send the signal. However,
this should not happen with two different programs & sh.exe.

2) This is an internal bug somewhere in cygwin (I would not know where to
look), perhaps X.

3) There is a conflict between cygwin dll's & sygate (I probably don't

RE: Application sending Router Solicitation packet

  On the face of it I'd assume that sygate is wrong about the source of the
packet.  But perhaps you've managed to get infected with some kind of
spyware/BHO/trojan/whatever that works by injecting a DLL into other
processes and trying to phone home from what it hopes will be an application
with firewall privs.

  What I'd do is wait until you can get this to happen again.  Then, while
the firewall has the requester up and the program is suspended while it's
waiting for you to allow or deny access, quickly fire up gdb or insight and
attach it to the process in question, and see if you can figure out what
thread is doing this and what system calls are involved.  Strace might give
you this info as well, but there's no substitute for actually getting it in
a debugger and _looking_!

And I expect there are lots of things that have changed

I'm not saying that I won't do this.  Just that I'm not highly

zip files aren't the same format as gzip files.  You'll want to
unzip the ns binaries with WinZip or Cygwin's 'unzip' utility
(which is part of the unzip package, if you don't have this already).

Hmm.  Interesting.  I wasn't going to say anything but I did make what I
hoped would be some performance improvements to the latest cvs.  I
noticed at least a 10% improvement in speed for the program from the
"serious performance problems" thread from last month.  It's still not
at mingw speeds, though, of course.

starting background process and logging out

[Maloney, Michael]

I am having a problem using cygwin on both Windows 2k/2003. When I send
a cmd into the background and then log out of the system, the process
dies on me. I am using Ataman Telnet Server to login but that doesn't
seem to be a factor.

I have tried nohup without any luck as well.

nohup startWebLogic.cmd > /dev/null&

Does anyone have any other ideas for getting this process to stick?

"setsid startWebLogic.cmd > /dev/null 2>&1"
(you have to close both stdout and stderr).

If .cmd means a glorified batch file, you could also try
"cygstart --hide startWebLogic.cmd > /dev/null 2>&1".

Yes, I understand.  Well, let's hope that if/when I find
the space to download and the time to build/install, it
goes as easy as you suggest.  Like I said, I'll report 
my results in this thread if I have any.

I haven't checked this zip file but the comments about it made me
believe that it was a pure Windows zip file.  It mentioned something
about making sure that your Cygwin install directory was c:\cygwin.
(I would normally double check all this before posting but the site
appears to be down at my time of posting so I'm working from memory).
Anyway, if I am remembering correctly, then WinZip should work "just
fine" if your installation meets that restriction.  As for 'unzip',
I mentioned in:

  

this utility can be found in the Cygwin unzip package.  Re-run 'setup.exe'
and install that package if you have not already.

FYI, on WinXP:

$ ps | grep sleep
$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'setsid sleep 80 >/dev/null 2>&1 &'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
$ ps | grep sleep
 6232   16232   6836? 1019 00:37:54 /usr/bin/sleep

with no extra processes hanging around, AFAICS.

1. You sent this to the wrong address.  For X11 questions you should use
the cygwin-xfree  cygwin.com mailing list.

2. There is no need to compile anything to use the X server in Cygwin. 
Just install the binary packages.  Run setup.exe and select the
"xorg-x11-base" package, which in turn will select all the other
necessary packages.  This is all documented in the Cygwin/X Users Guide:
.

3. The particular package, xorg-x11-fonts, cannot be compiled because it
consists of font files and nothing else.  It is only one component of
many that is required to use the X11 server.

New to Cygwin - Problems with Cygwin NFS

[ohaya]

Hi,

I've been trying to configure Cygwin NFS running on a Windows 2003
Server machine (machine: testwin2k3) to export directories so that I can
eventually use these directories as home directories on Solaris
machines.

I got Cygwin and Cygwin NFS installed, and somewhat working, but am
having problems with the uids of files being created on the NFS
directories.

On my test Solaris system, I have a test user, "jim1", with uid=1000 and
gid=1000.  In Cygwin NFS, I have /etc/exports configured to export
"/hometest/jim1" to machine with IP address 192.168.0.201 (for now):

/hometest/jim1  192.168.0.201(rw,...)

I was finally able to get "su - jim1" on the Solaris machine to work,
and I can see that it has indeed mounted the directory that I exported
from Cygwin NFS.

However, if I try to create a file after "su - jim1", the uid on the
file is set to nobody (uid=18?).  The gid seems to be ok, it's just the
uid on the files that seems to be wrong.

I've tried to add a "map_static=/etc/nfs/server.map-jim1":

/hometest/jim1  192.168.0.201(rw,map_static=/etc/nfs/server.map-jim1)

 where the /etc/nfs/server.map-jim1 file has:

uid 18  1000
gid 10001000
uid 10001000
gid 10001000

but, to no avail.

I've also tried setting "anonuid=1000,anongid=1000", but got the same
results.

I've restarted the 3 Cygwin services in between each server.map and
exports change, but no matter what I've tried :(...

Can anyone tell me how I can get Cygwin NFS to set the uid on the files
properly, to uid=1000?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,

I was just looking in /var/log/nfsd.log under Cygwin, and I am seeing
lots of errors:

auth_clnt.c 352 : Unable to seteuid(1000):  no such process
