Does /usr/bin/ssh-host-config need to be updated?

[Brian D. Carlstrom]

I've seen other posts about sshd upgrade problems so I thought I'd post
my own experience in getting things working. In the end I had to change
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config slightly so I wanted to share what I found. I
only needed to do this on one Windows XP laptop, but not on other
Windows 2000 or Windows XP machines that I have using sshd on a daily
basis.

My old Windows XP laptop has been running sshd from cygwin for I'm
guessing around 2 years, but had not been been update via setup.exe for
at least several months if not most of a year. I recently wanted to run
tetex so I added that package, with the side effect of upgrading just
about everything else in my world, including the main cygwin package,
bash, etc.

After the download and install phases, a number of post install scripts
had serious errors about missing entry points in a dll, I'm assuming
because of the new cygwin1.dll. I shuddered, but I've had these before
so I pressed on. 

After rebooting to finishing installation for files that were in use,
sshd failed to start with a missing cygcrypt-0.dll, which I was notified
about via a windows alert box. The file did exist in /usr/bin and setup
said the package was installed, but the scary entry point problem caused
me simply try to reinstall all from setup.exe. Even after this sshd
still failed to start with the same error.

I remember vaguely a while back that cygrunsrv options needed to change
for sshd. So I actually had tried the strategy Brian Dessent recommended
in this post before I even saw his post this evening:

  Brian Dessent writes Re: sshd crahes; ssh instal fails
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00193.html

If you cannot figure out from the above what the problem is, I suggest
you remove all traces of the sshd service and re-run ssh-host-config. 
To do this:

$ cygrunsrv --remove sshd
$ rm -rf /etc/{ssh_host_*,sshd_config} /var/{empty,run/sshd*,log/sshd*}
$ ssh-host-config

If you get any permission denied errors at the rm step you'll need to
chown the files before deleting them.

Brian

However, that did not fix things, I still received the error about the
missing cygcrypt-0.dll. I just found this related post which did address
the problem:

  Thomas Hennemann solved: cygcrypt-0.dll not found
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00095.html

Finally STFW I came across this advice:

"Reinstalling sshd service in windows
This one was a bit painful as I didn't want to mess with the pre-existing 
configuration of the key files. Installation required a small modification to 
the standard installation options.

cygrunsrv --install sshd --path '/usr/sbin/sshd' --env 'PATH=/bin;/sbin' 
--env 'CYGWIN=ntsec tty' -a -D

You need to use the cygwin --path item, otherwise the service won't start 
correctly (sshd needs to be executed with an absolute path). The env flags are 
there to allow the service to start, otherwise you end up with an annoying: 
cygcrypt-0.dll cannot be found error. The CYGWIN environment was there because 
otherwise it doesn't work correctly. the -D is for daemon mode."

(Source: 
http://www.petesh.com/archives/2005/08/reinstalling_sshd_service_in_w.html) 
which solved the issue.

So since the problem is solved I cannot provide more info like log data etc.
If anyone has a good guess what actually might have went wrong, please come 
forward ;-)

So I added the --env 'PATH=/bin;/sbin' to the cygrunsrv line in
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config and now sshd is running again as a service on
Windows XP. 

I have attached my cygcheck.out for reference if anyone is curious...

You are right : PATH is not the same... So once I've set it right,
everything is fine...

Thanks for the help, I think I was looking too hard to be on WE to be
able to think about that...

...which is wrong in using a semicolon as PATH separator.

Also /sbin doesn't contain any related executable or DLL.
Also the path is crippled afterwards and doesn't contain any of the 
Windows paths.

Finally, cygrunsrv always concatenates /bin to $PATH before starting
a service application.  I'm also running sshd on XP and I'm using it
on a daily basis.  My sshd setup does not change $PATH but is using the
standard installation created by ssh-host-config.

I'm just doing some hacking on the product. I don't think Altera is
happy to know that I add extra packages in their cygwin ;-)

See the attachment. These are obtained after I appended done to the
base-files-mketc.sh file and it hung on two other files
xorg-x11-fenc.sh and xorg-x11-fnts.sh. But I recall that the error
message is the same as base-files-mketc.sh.

As you mentioned before, it's probably bash problem.

Anyway, so far it's OK. I've not seen any bad effect of the problem.

Not really -- there isn't enough information in your report.  Please
read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
, especially the part about attaching
(as an uncompressed text attachment) the output of "cygcheck -svr" on
your system.

Whether Altera is happy or sad is irrelevant.  We don't support other
people's products here.

If it is indeed Altera's problem, they should at least know that their
Cygwin installation is broken.

Also, if they distribute unmodified Cygwin packages, you could try moving
their Cygwin completely out of the way, while leaving the rest of the
product intact, and see if they work with a stock install of Cygwin...

According to your cygcheck output, your bash is fine.  It looks like a
rebase problem, actually.  Install the latest "rebase" package, read
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.4.2.README, and follow the instructions
there.

Huh?  There are considerably more than 3 entries listed below, but all of
them are under the same key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions).

Installation without network connection

[Greg Youngdahl]

Hi all,

	My first message to the list... though I've used cygwin in the past.  I 
searched for answers though I came up with nothing definitive.  Seems 
like it should be a FAQ issue, but it wasn't there.


	My situation is that I have a PC (WinXP), but it does not have any 
network connection (on purpose).  So, I'd like to use my Linux system 
(from where I'm composing and sending this message) to grab an 
appropriate subset of the Cygwin DLL and utilities (at least enough to 
allow me to create my own custom automated backup procedures, using 
something along the lines of piping the output of find into a cpio 
command) and transfer them to the Windows PC for installation.  I saw 
posts that alluded to downloading packages and burning them to a CD, 
which seems like a reasonable way to deal with it, but no particular 
specific information about how to do that (and the posts were several 
years old anyway).


	I saw on the RedHat cygwin page some sort of instructions that seemed 
promising until they had several bold print lines added saying that 
parts of it don't work anymore and/or have been removed from public 
availability, but with nothing about how it should now be done.


	So, can this still be accomplished?  Is there some web page or other 
document that explains how it should be done?  If not - can someone help 
me, and perhaps I can put together such a document?  Perhaps it is 
trivially easy, and I'm making a mountain out of a molehill?  Maybe if I 
could just find a mirror site and download a few things I'd be good to 
go?  If so, what would be a minimum set of files to download (setup.exe, 
the cygwin.dll and enough packages to be able to  have bash run 'find 
 | cpio -pd...').


	Secondly, the system of interest (my WinXP box) already has cygwin 
installed (it has been there a while, and I no longer recall how I got 
it there), but it is a 1.3 version of the cygwin.dll, and it doesn't 
have cpio (it seems to have pretty much everything else I'd need), so 
can I just upgrade that, or should I uninstall it and start again from 
scratch?  Perhaps all I really need to do is grab a cpio package and 
install that.  But...


	The perplexing thing about this is that there is a setup.exe (somewhere 
under C:\Windows\system32) that pops up a little window to tell me I 
should use the control panel to do upgrades when I run it from bash 
(typing setup.exe to a bash prompt).  However there is nothing I can see 
in the start->control panel for cygwin, nor anything under add-remove 
programs associated with cygwin.  So, I'm not really even sure if that 
setup.exe is the one associated with cygwin.  Perhaps the method I used 
to install it way back when (potentially 3-4 years ago) did not involve 
the new modern techniques?


FWIW, running a uname -a from the bash prompt results in:

CYGWIN_NT-5.1 HARRISON 1.3.14(0.62/3/2) 2002-10-24 10:48 i686 unknown

The "RedHat cygwin page"?  Huh?  What web page are you referring to?

FYI, the URL for the cygwin project is http://cygwin.com/ .  That's
where the official cygwin net release resides.  Red Hat has nothing to
do with this release.

Hi Christopher,

	Directly on the page you mention (http://cygwin.com) down near the 
bottom, there is a link to the "Redhat Cygwin Product Site".  It is

http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin

	The page I was refering to wasn't directly on that page, but presumably 
one could get there.  Just now I don't have a direct link to the page I 
mentioned.  I think I got there following some links from a search of 
this list's archives, not via the URL above.  If you want or need the 
link for a reference I can probably find it again.  Since it seemed 
outdated and refered to tools that were no longer available, I assumed 
it wasn't going to be helpful and moved on.


Thanks,

Untried, but should work:
Run setup.exe in "Download without Installing" mode, on a system with
no cygwin (workarounds exist if not possible), toggle the "View" to
Full, and select findutils and cpio packages (if they aren't by default).
(You may need to resize the window to see the package-name column.)
Then "Next" through to the end.  Burn your "Local Package Directory"
and everything under it to a CD, along with a copy of setup.exe, and
run it on your target machine.

The current cpio is extremely likely to have been built with 1.5.x and
not be usable on 1.3.x.

Cygwin's setup.exe isn't automatically installed anywhere.  You can
run it directly by pointing your browser to http://cygwin.com/setup.exe.
If you want it saved somewhere, you need to do that manually.

... in "Install from local directory" mode, again selecting findutils
and cpio if they aren't by default.

To be precise, the text surrounding the link that you are referring to
says:

"For Cygwin licensing or commercial support, please visit the Red Hat
Cygwin Product site."

i.e., it is another site entirely from http://cygwin.com/ .  The
reference is for a *commercial* release of Cygwin that is provided by
Red Hat.  If you want to use the commercial software then you should be
contacting Red Hat directly.

OTOH, I sincerely doubt that you found any discussion of the cygwin net
release install procedure at the Red Hat site so if you found words
about installation at http://cygwin.com which you find confusing, you're
going to, again, have to provide a reference so that we can either fix
the words or clarify them for you.

Right.  Cygwin's setup.exe isn't automatically installed anywhere but
other packages use the name "setup.exe" also.  If you find a setup.exe
in c:\windows\system32 then it undoubtedly has nothing to do with
cygwin.

2.510.2.2: bash won't open after install

[Nick Low]

Greetings,

  I have spent the past week trying to find an answer to my problem in
the mail archives.  When this server was initially built, Cygwin
worked fine.  Two days later, the bash window would not open any more.
 It seems that no matter how many times I reinstall Cygwin, I cannot
get the bash window to open.  My latest attempt to reinstall Cygwin
occurred two hours ago.  I downloaded the latest version from the web
after thoroughly removing the file directory and any registry key
entry that contained a reference with the word Cygnus or Cygwin in it.
 The server is a Windows 2003 Server (SP1) machine.

  The set.log.full file had a new message in it that I had not seen
before today (which may have something to do with me installing a
newer version of software than I had been trying previously):

2005/12/27 12:27:47 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/00ash.sh

2005/12/27 12:34:43 mbox note: Installation Complete
2005/12/27 12:34:46 Ending cygwin install

  I am not quite sure how to handle that one.

  Like my previous installations, the /etc directory was not populated
as I would have expected it to be.  The only file in there is the
termcap file.  There are no group or passwd files to be found there.

  I have attached the output from cygcheck -svr.  I have noticed that
sh.exe is listed as missing, and it sure is not in the bin directory. 
The sh.exe file was in there last week, so I guess that something new
has failed during this installation which had been working before.

  I am not sure that sending the strace output would be particularly
useful at this point in time, though I can send one if anyone would
like see it.

  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Nick

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: inetutils-1.3.2-32

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of inetutils to 1.3.2-32.

Changes in 1.3.2-32:

- In syslogd, print "kernel" instead of "vmunix" for kernel log messages.

=
  IMPORTANT NOTE:

- When updating inetutils, take care that syslogd.exe, inetd.exe and
  subsequent processes don't run anymore.  Otherwise the update will
  fail.

=

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

1. We don't support other third party apps that aren't on the cygwin
mirrors on this list.

2. cygpic is obsolete, it has been replaced by cygserver (see the users
guide.)

3. Use the package search page:

Three JPEG packages, no pkgconfig information

[David Arnstein]

When I run cygwin setup.exe, I see three JPEG related packages: jpeg, 
libjpeg62, and libjpeg6b. Not one of these packages leaves a file in 
/usr/lib/pkgconfig.


I am trying to compile some image processing programs (such as gthumb) 
and so I'd like to know if it is normal to see these three overlapping 
packages present. Why don't they install files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig? Is 
this directory only for Gnome related work?


I attach the usual output from cygcheck -s -v -r

Of course.  And I want a pony.

If your company isn't set up to work with PDF internally, you can expect
to be disappointed with the results of "converting" PDF.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software

As for Cygwin,

$ apropos pdf | wc -l
36

A Cygwin package search is available at ,
but you won't find anything specific to your needs.  You can try
pdftohtml  which compiles out of the
box under Cygwin.  Alternatively, you can explore the market for various
PDF-related programs, Acrobat plugins, etc. with Google.

My own recommendation would be to re-author the documents and/or
investigate the extent to which a newer version of Wordperfect can read
your old files and output to HTML directly and in a manner that's
acceptable.  

HTH.

That's probably the best way.  You could also just post the PDFs on a
publicly accessible http site, wait a few months, and then link to the
google-ized html version of the PDFs.  Probably not the kind of solution
he was after though.

Re: I need cygcygipc-2.dll, where is it?

[m. z.]

Thank you, I realize that the cygipc package is not any more supported. 
Still I would like to know if there is somewhere an old archive from where I 
could download it, since with the cygwin setup the package is not listed.

Thanks in advance

1. We don't support other third party apps that aren't on the cygwin
mirrors on this list.

2. cygpic is obsolete, it has been replaced by cygserver (see the users
guide.)

3. Use the package search page:

If it is shown on the package search page at
 then it is still available on all the
Cygwin mirrors.  However it is in the category _obsolete which is hidden
by default.  This just means that you have to uncheck the "Hide obsolete
packages" option in setup.exe.

Re: Three JPEG packages, no pkgconfig information

[Charles Wilson]

David Arnstein wrote:
When I run cygwin setup.exe, I see three JPEG related packages: jpeg, 
libjpeg62, and libjpeg6b. 


Right.  The jpeg package contains documentation, static libraries, 
import libraries, header files, and executable utility programs.  The 
other two packages each contain a specific version of the shared library:


  libjpeg62 --> contains /usr/bin/cygjpeg-62.dll
  libjpeg6b --> contains /usr/bin/cygjpeg6b.dll

cygjpeg-62.dll is the current version, and that's what you'll link 
against if you use -ljpeg when compiling your app.  cygjpeg6b.dll is 
only present in the distribution for backwards compatibility: some 
existing cygwin programs require the older version simply because they 
have not yet been recompiled to use the newer version.  You'll see this 
pattern often in the cygwin distribution: multiple packages that all 
each contain a single DLL, all with slightly different version numbers. 
 It's simply a backwards compatibility thing.


Not one of these packages leaves a file in 
/usr/lib/pkgconfig.


pkgconfig is not universally supported by every package in the linux 
universe.  Jpeg is one of those packages whose official maintainers (the 
Independent JPEG Group, or IJG) have chosen NOT to provide pkgconfig 
files.  Therefore, the cygwin distribution of their software ALSO does 
not provide them.  (Actually, I believe the most recent IJG release, 
jpeg-v6b, predates the very existence of pkgconfig -- which shows the 
pace of development of libjpeg)


I am trying to compile some image processing programs (such as gthumb) 
and so I'd like to know if it is normal to see these three overlapping 
packages present. 


It is normal, as explained above.  But they aren't really "overlapping".

Why don't they install files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig? 


Explained above: the upstream "official" maintainers of the IJG jpeg 
library have chosen not to provide them; it is not for us mere mortals 
to reason why.  For other software, I'd say "I'm sure they would 
consider a patch adding that functionality" -- but not jpeg.  libjpeg 
development is practically dead, and has had no new release in years. 
Nor is there a fork of the current software with active development: I 
can only assume that most people seem to think that jpeg-v6b works fine 
and see no need to fork/continue development.


There have been recent signs of life on the IJG (private) mailing list, 
but I wouldn't hold my breath.


Is 
this directory only for Gnome related work?


No.

But none of this extended discussion should matter: if you have the 
'jpeg' and 'libjpeg62' packages installed, then you have the appropriate 
headers in /usr/include and link librares in /usr/lib -- which are part 
of the default search path for gcc.  So gthumb et. al. should have NO 
problem detecting that you have jpeg installed, and you need no extra 
flags (such as would be provided by 'pkg-config --cflags jpeg' or 
'pkg-config --libs jpeg') to make that happen.

Re: ssh localhost date # "ls -lu" => remote command not being read

[Tom Rodman]

Solving this issue is important to us. We have a tool
that triggers a remote job via an ssh client. If this
general approach works:

  ssh remotehostname "job arg1 arg2.."

I think our tool will work.

Does the strace log hint at a solution? Is there any other
test I might try that would help you debug this?

I'm not convinced the remote command is being invoked.
Here is an informal test I ran on my home PC on 12/27 after 10pm:

  $ uname -a
  CYGWIN_NT-5.0 argon 1.5.19s(0.149/4/2) 20051227 16:45:51 i686 unknown unknown 
Cygwin
  $ ls -lu /bin/echo #last access time 
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 04:05 /bin/echo*
  $ ssh localhost -l adm_tsr '/bin/echo hi'
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
  $ : nothing echoed - the problem!
  $ ls -lu /bin/echo # next line shows /bin/echo was not read in ssh session
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 04:05 /bin/echo*
  $ /bin/echo xx  #force read now
  xx
  $ ls -lu /bin/echo 
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 22:51 /bin/echo*
  $

So the ssh session silently dies before the remote '/bin/echo'
command runs?

thanks,

BTW, I just re-ran the test, and found ssh exits w/status 0.

I need cygcygipc-2.dll, where is it?

An application that I have doesn't want to work because it needs 
cygcygipc-2.dll.
Among the huge amount of packages of cygwin, what I should install in order 
to find that package?

Maybe some of you, who works with cygwin, know the answer.
For me it would be very important to have it. Thanks in advance.

The answer to the above question is always the Cygwin package search page

P.S. This question has nothing to do with Cygwin/X, and thus is off-topic
