It can't.  MSDN documents that the Security log is for system use only
and that an application trying to register for this log fails:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/registereventsource.asp

Makes sense, after all sshd is just an application.

Why not use syslogd instead?

RPC headers anyone?

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile an app that uses the header files  
and , but I can't find the package that supplies these
headers.

Is there a Cygwin package that supplies this header?

TIA,

In fact there are two with these headers - the source package for the 
cygwin dll, and the sunrpc package.

The latter is probably what you want - they go in /usr/include

For future reference: http://cygwin.com/packages/
Merely type in the filenames.

Hi,

I'd like to use Courier New as font for Cygwin, but the only choices
I've got are Lucida Console and Rasterschriftart. One solution is to use
PuTTY to connect via ssh to localhost, but I think this is a bit of
overkill. Is there another posiibility?

You seem to be referring to the CMD.EXE window.  That's a windows thing
over which Cygwin has no control.  Use rxvt if you want more flexibility
(and a much better console in general.)

Yes. Don't use the cmd-based cygwin interface.
Use rxvt.
Install the rxvt package with setup, then use something like the 
following (I suggest creating a shortcut):


C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 1 -sr +sk -si -sw -fg Green -bg Black -e 
/bin/bash --login -i


Use the man pages and other docs to find out what the various options 
mean and how to change the font.

Radius authentication via PAM?

[Wouter Backx]

Hi,

for accomplishing Radius authentication on an OpenSSH server (like
COPssh) I'd like to set up RADIUS authentication on Cywin for
One-Time-Passowds from hardware tokens verified by a RADIUS server.
We have been investigation for using PAM, but there is very little
information on PAM with Cygwin on the net. For PAM there are pluggins
available for RADIUS authentication, but it seems to be for other
software/unix flavours.
If PAM is the way forward, are there any "to the point" resources
available for doing RADIUS authentication on CYGWIN?

Many thanks,

Wouter

interoperability between samba, linux-cifs, cywgin and sfu

[Martin Koeppe]

Hello,

[please cc me on replies]

while playing around with a Windows server (2003), a Linux server 
(2.6.11) with Samba (3.0.14a) and a Windows client (2000) with both 
Interix Services for Unix (SFU) (3.5) and Cygwin (1.5.19pre20051130) 
installed, I encountered the following problems or inconsistencies 
when using on the one hand SFU and Cygwin on Windows and Samba network 
shares, and on the other hand when using linux-cifs on Windows shares, 
where locally Cygwin or SFU are used.


Most of these problems have been already discussed, and some of them 
have been solved in between, but I'm cross-posting this summary now to 
all lists involved on that, I hope at least.


Here interoperability is meant as storing special unix file attributes 
(special files, mode bits and user/group ids) in such a way, that they 
ideally are interpreted in the same way by all Windows<->Unix 
connecting software.


(I have marked in [], which of the software mentioned in this mail's 
subject I think should be changed for better interoperability.)



1. storage of special files such as symlinks, fifos, devs  [all]


The way that SFU stores these special files, I tried to explore at:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2005-May/000856.html

Cygwin has its own way which I observed by a quick look (so may not 
be completely correct):

http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2005-November/001080.html

A concrete problem on cygwin is that you can create device files, but 
these device files are shown as symlinks instead of as device files 
(even on C:), i.e.


cygwin$ mknod myblock b 0 0
cygwin$ ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx  1 martin mkpasswd  10 Nov 30 23:10 myblock -> :\0:0:61b6
cygwin$ test -b myblock && echo "block"
[ does not echo "block", so is not seen as a block device file ]
cygwin$ test -l myblock && echo "link"
bash: test: -l: unary operator expected
cygwin$ perl -e '-l "myblock" && print "link"'
link

So "test" dies unexpectedly, but perl doesn't. Another problem.

cygwin$ mkfifo myfifo && ls -l myfifo
prw-rw-rw-  1 martin mkpasswd 102 Nov 30 23:09 myfifo

The fifo is made correctly and shown as such, but has a file size of
102 which is <>0, so not, what I would have expected.

It would be nice if Cygwin could store these files in the same way as 
SFU. And Samba could then convert the SFU method to real device and 
fifo files on the disk. For the cifs client, work has begun to include 
the SFU way:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2005-November/001073.html

The only thing one could discuss is how to store symlinks. Cygwin's 
symlinks can be followed in Windows Explorer, whereas SFU symlinks are 
more consistent, as they are named exactly the same on the 
underlying disk, no .lnk appended.



2. test -l does not work [cygwin]
=

I repeat this here from above for clarity:

cygwin$ test -l a_link && echo "link"
bash: test: -l: unary operator expected
cygwin$ perl -e '-l "a_link" && print "link"'
link

So "test" dies unexpectedly, but perl doesn't.


3. set file bits  [all]
===

SFU stores the set file bits in an extended attribute called 
SETFILEBITS, for details see:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2005-June/000865.html

Cygwin seems to store the set bits with the help of a special acl 
entry for the "NULL SID". At least chmod 0 creates such an acl 
entry, and after manually deleting it, the file has no longer set bits 
set in cygwin's opinion.


While both of these methods can be used to store these infos on a 
windows server share, it would be nice, if it could be stored by a 
samba server as well, ideally in such a way, that locally on the samba 
server the file mode is the same as within SFU and/or Cygwin.


The cifs client ideally should show and set these mode bits as well 
from within linux, when one runs Cygwin and/or SFU on a Windows 
server. Work is in progress on that, see:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2005-November/001073.html


4. file and directory lower 9 mode bits  [all]
==

While Corinna has written a good howto on mapping the mode bits on 
Windows ACL entries:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping
I found one issue not documented there though:

Suppose you have on Windows the following directories:
C:\temp\t1\t2
Now you change the permissions with explorer in the following way:
t2: has access allowed for the current user (non-inherited)
t1: all ACL entries are removed

You can now do the following on a CMD.EXE:
C:\temp> cd t1
Permission denied!
C:\temp> cd t1\t2
C:\temp\t1\t2>
So chdir into t2 is possible.

On Cygwin t1 is shown by ls as d-, but "cd t1/t2" nevertheless 
works.


On interix sfu, t1 is also shown as d-, but "cd t1/t2" doesn't 
work. Even though it works via Windows Explorer or CMD.EXE.


I don't know which behaviour should

On Win98 with snapshot 20051130, I am getting a consistent popup box
during libtool configuring that sh is doing an illegal instruction when
forking.  Clicking close on the popup allows configure to complete, at
which point libtool appears to build correctly.  Trying to strace produced
an error much earlier.

Agreed. However, expect the occasional surprise when
running non-Cygwin console binaries since they won't
recognize that they are running on a terminal. I use
a Tcl-based debugger at work, and when running it in
Win32 console mode under RXVT, I don't get a prompt.

If that's not an issue for you, go ahead and don't
look back.

BTW, you can specify Windows-style fonts for RXVT in
your .Xdefaults file. For example, here are the RXVT

Rxvt.font:  "Lucida Console-16"
Rxvt.font3: "Lucida Console-19"
Rxvt.font4: "Lucida Console-22"

Rxvt.foreground:PapayaWhip
Rxvt.color12:   SteelBlue

(I don't know whether the quotes are recommended or
not. At least on my system they're not needed, but
I've seen other posters use them.)

RE: Re: how to make ssh-agent automatically

[Morche Matthias]

You're right, I avoided the use of passphrases and carefully considered
the loss of security imposed by that and thus I do not need ssh-agent...
It's been so long ago, that I just forgot about those consequences...

Re: how to make ssh-agent automatically

[CyberZombie]

I am unable to locate "sendchenv".  This tool looks like it solves a 
frustrating problem I have been having (getting regtool changes to 
register in any new Cygwin/Windows program).  Can you point out where to 
find it?

Hi H.S

Using keychain is only one way, it is not the only way. I no longer

I launch ssh-agent from a bash script that is run as a service from 
cygrunsrv; it is run as the user, not as SYSTEM. This makes the 
ssh-agent process survive Windows logout; I only have to enter a 
passphrase after reboot. The bash script edits the user registry to 
define the environment variable for the ssh-agent socket. It sends a 
message that the environment has been updated and then waits on a 
sleeping child to keep the service control manager happy.


The script looks like

$ cat /bin/secret-agent-service
#!/bin/bash
# Launch the ssh-agent from a service so it survives logoff.

# When the service stops, kill the ssh-agent.
trap "ssh-agent -k;

In my .bash_profile I have

ssh-add -l >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
 ssh-add
fi

which checks if the agent is there and needs a passphrase, and if so, 
invokes ssh-add and I enter my passphrase.


I will look at the new cygrunsrv changes and see if I can simplify 
things and then propose a package.


This saves almost one second of CPU time when I start a bash window, 
compared to using keychain (also launched as a service).

Okay, I will try that. BTW, just out of curosity, is using keychain only
one of the methods to achieve this or is it the only method? I mean, is
it possible to do this without keychain or any other packages and just
with ssh and rsync and login/logout files and environment variables?

Currently I was starting ssh-agent in cygwin command prompt window. And
if I did not kill ssh-agent the window would not close upon exit. By
killing if from .bash_logout solved that problem.

Issues Upgrading Octave and Octave-Forge

[James R. Phillips]

For those that are upgrading octave and octave-forge to the newest releases, be
certain that you are not using octave at the time of the upgrade, otherwise the
installation may not update files that are in use, resulting in a partial
installation.

If you get a 2.1.71 version message upon loading 2.1.72, this has happened to
you.  Quit all octave sessions, and reinstall the upgrades.

Note also that to compile .oct files, you need to use gcc 3.3.3.  Both octave
and octave-forge are compiled using this version.

cdrecord and loopback devices

Thanks. I got Ross Smith's version  from the link on
.

mkisofs seems to work fine but I have not burnt a CD
as yet. On Solaris
I am used to testing the raw image prior to burning
buy using the 'lofiadm'
related commands to associate a device with the raw
image file and then
mounting it. Going through the Cygwin archives I
gather that there are no
loopback facilities within Cygwin, though I picked up
a hint to used something
called 'filedisk'. I have not completed its
installation -- have to backup the
registry first!! -- but, is there any *other* way to
check the integrity of 
the ISO raw image file?

thanks

Cygwin didn't consider a device with a major/minor of zero to be a real
device.  This is fixed in CVS.

I've also fixed this in CVS but I don't see why it would actually
present a problem.

test -l (lowercase L) is not equivalent to perl's -l "function".  You
use "test -L" (uppercase L) to check for symlinks.  Unsurprisingly
enough, that works fine on cygwin.

  For those that are upgrading _any_ package, be certain that you are not

Been there, done that.  Try "CYGWIN=traverse".  Expect weird problems.

Maybe Interix brackets all file related calls with switching on and off

Maybe something's broken in your environment.  Cygwin's link(2) function
works fine on NTFS and Samba shares for me.

cygwin emacs rebaseall

[William Karh]

This is a information sharing post.

I did a rebaseall yesterday and then could not to build Emacs from cvs.
The src/bootstrap-emacs.exe would hang in _cygtls.  I left it there all
night to see if it was just slow, but this morning it was still the same.
I then modified the src/Makefile and changed:

LD=$(CC) -Wl,--image-base,0x2000

to

LD=$(CC) -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base

This change allowed me to build Emacs from cvs.  It even launches okay.
I'll have to use it some to get an idea if it is more or less unstable
(since cvs Emacs cygwin is kinda unstable anyway).

Regards,
Bill Karh

Ok, I probably am.  But, you wouldn't expect the buffer tuning to make such 
a big difference, either, since a fast processor can surely move data around 
in memory several times faster than it can move it over the net.  All these 
things add up, though

I'm always surprised at how many people recommened using rxvt.  I use it 
once in a while, but there's just too many things I do don't work right 
unless I'm using the regular Win32 console.  Output is delayed until the

There are lots of Windows tools for working with ISOs.  You can use VCD from 
Microsoft to mount the image.  Or, check out IsoBuster (isobuster.com) to 
look at the internals.

Would it make sense to change ssh-host-config to include the "tcpip" and

Yes, I have no Mac OS X handy.  I have attached two hacked test
applications, which you can simply build with `gcc -o foo foo.c'.

The first one, GetVolInfo, should get a Cygwin path to any file on the
Mac OS X share.  It prints the volume information returned from the
share.

The second one, GetFileInfo, should be called on a few directories and a
couple of files on the share.

The output of both tests might be helpful.

And another thing to try.  Could you please check (only with the latest
snapshot) if the resulting inode numbers are the same when running

 $ cd /local/cygwin/dir && ls -i //MacOSX/share/dir

and 

 $ cd //MacOSX/share && ls -i dir

?

font sets the default font. The others set alternate fonts like the

in my configuration, shift-keypad-plus and shift-keypad-minus cycle

cygwin file permissions change after installation

[H. S.]

Hi,

Am I supposed to make any changes to certain files's permissions after 
installing Cygwin? I installed Cygwin (ver 1.5.18-1) and noticed that 
many websites suggesting changing certain files' permissions to 
system:system. This installation was on Windows XP computer.


I ask because I noticed that sshd.log file is still empty (0 bytes). Is 
this normal?

how to detect if Windows or Linux is running?

[H. S.]

Hi,

I have installed Cygwin on a Windows XP computer to get rsync and ssh 
running so that I can backup my important data on a Linux computer on my 
home LAN. The idea is to use rsync to make rolling backups of my Windows 
data automatically, say, once or twice a day and to retain last N 
backups (N most probably going to be 10~20).


But the problem I had not foreseen is that I dual boot this Windows 
machine between Windows XP and Debian. How should I gracefully let the 
rsync server know if this computer is running Linux or XP?


I know that if the computer is running Linux, the rsync server will 
never find /cygdrive/... folders and will just quite with an error. But 
this is not 'clean', it will result in mails to the rsync server root 
about the error.


Suggestions?

Why not just use mount to mount things similarly on the cygwin side
and the linux side?

Even if I do that on the machine to be backed up, I still need to know 
what OS is running. This is for the situation in which I want to 
maintain different backups of Linux and of Windows data. To do this, 
rsync must now what it is backing up so that it does not overwrite 
previous backups of one OS with the new ones of the other.


Or I misunderstood your post.

If you are just trying to figure out if you're running as cygwin or
linux there are many ways to do this.  You already mentioned that linux
won't have a /cygdrive.  That could be a key.

Otherwise, the standard way to check this is using uname -s.

If you are trying to figure out from the server side if the system is
running linux or cygwin then the existence of /cygdrive should do it.

If you're talking about a website that tries to tell you how to install
sshd, then ignore it completely.  Then remove it from your bookmarks. 
Then never visit it again.  You don't have to do any of that nonsense,
all you have to do is run ssh-host-config.  Sadly there seem to be many
of these "helpful" sites that give misleading, outdated, or outright
bogus information about sshd.

It's normal for the sshd.log file to be empty because sshd logs to the
event log.

1.5.18: commands don't work after Cygwin update

[Shaun Gittens]

I just upgraded Cygwin on Windows XP.  The previous version I was 
running (I installed it in Jan 2005) worked fine.  Now, post-upgrade, 
almost no commands work at the prompt of the bash shell.



bash-3.00$  ls
bash:  ls: command not found
bash-3.00$ cygcheck
bash: cygcheck: command not found
bash-3.00$ gcc
bash:  gcc : command not found



Running setup.exe went off without a hitch for the most part.  I'm not 
sure what could have gone wrong in the upgrade.  Any ideas why this 
won't work all of a sudden?


Thank you for your time.

Shaun.

Re: cygwin file permissions change after installation

If you're talking about a website that tries to tell you how to install
sshd, then ignore it completely.  Then remove it from your bookmarks. 
Then never visit it again.  You don't have to do any of that nonsense,

all you have to do is run ssh-host-config.  Sadly there seem to be many
of these "helpful" sites that give misleading, outdated, or outright
bogus information about sshd.

It's normal for the sshd.log file to be empty because sshd logs to the
event log.

:D

No, I never really did anything out of the ordinary about this. Just 
what the installation and setup scripts asked me to -- and since 
everything is working: ssh, rsync, etc, I guess the installation went okay.


As you mention, there are so many sites that tell you to do chmod 
system:system that it made wonder what was the real deal behind this.

The same way you'd run any ssh command?

if ssh host uname \| grep -q CYGWIN; then
echo "it's running cygwin";
else
echo "it's not running cygwin";
fi



I was just now thinking about this. I just finished using "ssh host > 
out.dat" to debug why my rsync was not working. This made me think to 
use a command to know the OS for my purpose and while thinking about 
that read your mail!

Just guesses:

Do the above commands exit? Verify by going into cygwin bin dir using 
Windows explorer?


If they do, have you set the PATH variable correctly to point to cygwin 
bin directory?

In fact it is required that certain files and directories be owned by
the user that runs sshd (which in most cases is SYSTEM.)  But
ssh-host-config does all this for you, so the need to do it by hand
should never occur.

This is/was working in 1.5.18.

Attached is cygcheck -svr output. with a self built cygwin1.dll from
Mon Nov 28 16:30:21 2005, which is the last version I have, which
doesn't show the failure. CVS-checkout for that build can't have been

font sets the default font. The others set alternate fonts like the 
ones you normally get on the right mouse button in xterms. At least in 
my configuration, shift-keypad-plus and shift-keypad-minus cycle 
through these fonts (the default font is at position 2.5).


Ah ha! I thought that that was what it did and I had been wanting to be 
able to increase and decrease the size of the font like this but it 
never worked for me. What I was missing was defining font2-n! Thanks.

1.5.18-1: texteroids fails because DPS not available

[cygwin-list-eins]

I just installed 1.5.18-1, selecting "Default" in the installer for
everything except X11, for which I chose "Install" instead.  I have
attached cygcheck.out.

If I run startx, then type "texteroids" into the xterm (bash) window, I
get the following error:

=
%% DPS Client Library Warning:
   Auto-launching DPS NX agent.
%% DPS Client Library Warning:
   FAILED to auto-launch:
dpsnx.agent

texteroids: DPS is not available.
You need an X server with the DPS extension, or a DPS NX agent.

=

A new texteroids window appears briefly, then disappears.  I get the
same behavior from the Start menu icon, but (obivously) I don't get the
helpful error messages above.

Other xapps (xterm, xeyes) work OK.

This isn't a high priority for me; I just thought someone might want to
know about this.  Thanks!

screen-4.0.2 on Cygwin 1.5.R18-1

[Peter]

I got screen to compile with very minor source code changes (more changes 
might be better, but I haven't fiddled too much).  Everything seems to 
work okay, except that I can't get screen to persist once I close my 
terminal window.


I tried running screen "-d -m" as a service through cygrunsrv, but with 
little success.  When it runs as SYSTEM I can't attach the screen, and 
when it runs as me it hangs immediately.  It seems to hang eventually when 
running as SYSTEM too, but it's hard to tell what's going on.


Anyone who can tell me a better way?
Thanks!
Peter

Ok, installed the sunrpc package and gcc now finds the required
headers. Unfortunately, I now get an error at link time:

(.text+0x96c): undefined reference to `_xdrmem_create'
(.text+0x980): undefined reference to `_xdr_double'

This code compiles under Linux so it seems that some special
library must be needed under Cygwin.

Anyone have any clues?
