why can not get ssh passwd prompt

[Chen Yue]

Hi Everyone

My requirement may be somehow insane but I really meet it.

First, I created an sshd daemon by cygwin on windows host (let it as host
A). Then I login host A by ssh and get a shell window. All the above is all
right for me.

Here is the problem, there is a bat file on windows host which would invoke
"ssh ". When I run the bat file, it can not deliver the passwd
prompt. However, if I use a bash script to execute the ssh command. It is
all right. I also tried to run ssh in debug mode (-vvv) in bat file, it
shows server side is ready to receive passwd.(Is it possible that the passwd
prompt is redirected to somewhere else?) On the other hand, if I run the bat
file directly from a local cmd/cygwin window in windows host, it is also OK,
so weird.

Now I have re-written the bat file in term of bash to get it to work. But I
am still curious about this issue. Does any one have ideas?

  You are seeing the cache growing after cygserver initial startup, but it
bottoms out quickly.  I ran this command to generate a script file:

$ for (( x = 1 ; x < 40 ; x++ )) ; do echo -e "./OceProxy.exe\nipcs\nipcrm-q
$(( $x * 65536 )) " ; done | tee foosh

then cut and pasted the content into a console, while running 

$ /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe --debug 2>&1  | tee cs5.log

in a separate console (CYGWIN=server in both).  The effect was to repeatedly
run your test, deleting the newly created queue after each run.  Each time it
got to OceProxy.exe, it paused, and I noted the number of handles in cygserver
using sysinternals' process explorer; then pressed Ctrl+C to kill OceProxy and
let the loop delete the queue and repeat.  Here are the numbers of handles I
observed each time OceProxy.exe was in the running state:

88
95
97
99
101
103
105
107
109
111
113
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115

115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
115
109

  The last 109 is after the entire script finished; it's the resting level at
that point, and each further time you run and then kill OceProxy.exe you see
the number of handles rise and fall 109 -> 115 -> 109.

  I'm guessing there's some kind of handle caching going on.  I saved a dump
of the handles on two successive goes round the loop and diffed them:

/win/i/xtool/attatchs/OceProxyFrameworkDemo $ grep ^- a-vs-b.txt
-0x168  Event   0x001F0003  0x8213F7A0

+0x144  Process OceProxy.exe(508)   0x001F0FFF  0x818C8020
+0x18C  Process OceProxy.exe(2084)  0x001F0FFF  0x81DA3920
+0x178  Thread  cygserver.exe(1516): 2008   0x001F03FF  0x814891A0

  So, each time we run the test, then stop it and delete the queue, it opens
and closes two events, two files and two process handles; and at least to
start with, it gains a thread and an event each time round.  Perhaps there's
some kind of cache of worker threads in cygserver, each of which has a
shutdown event associated with it?  It may be that it's firing up new threads
more often than it needs considering that the old queue has gone away.  We'll
need to take a look at the source - I've no idea how cygserver works
internally.


cheers,
  DaveK

Thanks for the report.  I fixed this in CVS.  As it turned out, you
can't open a file with access flags set to 0.  ZwOpenFile requires at
least READ_CONTROL access.

Hm, I don't see much relevant in the list of files accessed.  When in
the process do you see 'setup.exe' crashing?  If it's during the
installation, the perhaps your '/var/log/setup.log.full' would provide
some context, assuming it is a package that was corrupted after download.

  These lines show files being accessed by the error reporting process after
the crash has already taken place; any sign of the actual cause must be
earlier in the output, and most likely involving files under C:\cygwin.

  This tells us that the problem was most likely stack corruption while
attempting to throw an exception[*]... for whatever that's worth.

Re: setup.exe 2.573.2.2 is crashing in Windows XP

[Jose Ramon Huerga]

It happens at the end of the installation phase. The last information
I can see in the Progress dialog is:

Uninstalling ...
bash

The last files that are modified under C:\cygwin are:

  C:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-cache
  C:\cygwin\etc\setup\last-mirror
  C:\cygwin\etc\setup\mirrors-lst
  C:\cygwin\etc\setup\timestamp
  C:\cygwin\etc\setup\utmp

Then it crashes. The files c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log and
c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log.full don't get touched in the installation
process.


Thank you.

  It's not necessarily related to a file that is being modified, it could
easily be caused by reading file that's already been corrupted.  Are there any
references to "C:\cygwin\etc\setup\bash.lst.gz" around there?  Do you see any
error message when you run "zcat /etc/setup/bash.gz.lst", or just a list of
files?

Yes, the file bash.lst.gz seems to be wrong:


$ ls -l /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz
-rwxr-x---+ 1 jrhuerga Users 10 Jan 16 17:28 /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz

$ zcat /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz
gzip: /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz: unexpected end of file

  Ok, let's try replacing it with a known good one; if setup.exe can't read
the list of files to remove during uninstall, it's no wonder it goes wrong!

  You'll need to find the correct saved bash installation tarball in your
local package storage directory, and then create a new list file.  For example
(YMMV):

/etc/setup $ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.25(17)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

... I have version bash-3.2.25-17 installed (you can also find this out from
"cygcheck -c bash"), so I search for the package in my local packages dir
(which is C:\cygwin.src\):

/etc/setup $ find /win/c/cygwin.src/ -name 'bash-3.2.25-17.tar.bz2'
/win/c/cygwin.src/http%3a%2f%2fftp.heanet.ie%2fpub%2fcygwin/release/bash/bash-
3.2.25-17.tar.bz2

  So, having found it, we need to generate a (plain, nonverbose, unadorned,
one filename per line) listing of its contents using "tar tjf" (plus the
previous find command in backticks to get the path correct), then pipe that
through gzip to create the new list file:

tar tjf `find /win/c/cygwin.src/ -name 'bash-3.2.25-17.tar.bz2'` \
  | gzip > /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz

  Once you've done that, try zcat on it as before to verify that it's valid,
then try again with setup.

cheers,
  DaveK

I also had this problem, but I managed to solve it and wanted to share
my solution with the mailing list.

C:\cygwin\etc\setup\bash.lst.gz   was corrupt, opening it in WinRAR
and trying to view the file inside it resulted in an error about
"Unexpected end of file". I deleted this file, ran setup.exe and just
kept hitting "Next". Bash upgraded fine and setup exited normally.

HTH,

  BTW, just deleting it and rerunning setup might also do the job, as at
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00420.html
but sometimes it doesn't work, as at 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00354.html

  It's also possible that the tarball in the package directory might be
corrupted and this somehow causes the problem, in which case we would expect
to see an error message during the attempt to regenerate the lst.gz file.

  Hmm, we should really try and merge this thread with the other ongoing
threads about this exact same problem!  

  BTW, in case just deleting it doesn't work - and when I suggested it to Wei
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00354.html
it didn't work, I just posted a recipe to regenerate the list file from the
tarball in your local package storage dir:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-01/msg00419.html

  It's also possible that the tarball in the package directory might be
corrupted and this somehow causes the problem, in which case we would expect
to see an error message during the attempt to regenerate the lst.gz file.

cygwin won't run, missing cygintl-8.dll file - solution that worked for me

[Daniel Cardenas]

I did an install of cygwin.  When I tried to run the shell I received the 
problem that cygintl-8.dll was not found.  I
tried various solutions including the ones outlined in below messages without 
success.  Through the process I also found
that many of the dll's where missing not just cygintl-8.dll.

What finally worked was deleting the cygwin directory and re-installing.

Thanks,
Daniel

Using Windows Explorer, look in C:\cygwin\bin (or wherever else you
installed it) and check to see if any .dll files have .dll.new instead.
Rename those that do and run Cygwin again.


Actually, it is safer to just reboot your system, which will cause those
dlls to be renamed automatically.  If you still have this error then go
to http://cygwin.com/packages/ , search for the package which contains
this file and install it by rerunning setup.exe.

  That's probably overkill.  It should also have been possible to just re-run
setup.exe, choosing "Install from local directory", and clicking 'next' all
the way through without changing the settings; when you do that, setup should
verify your existing install and replace anything that's missing.

  I'm curious what went wrong when you tried this one of the solutions:

  That should have also worked.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: nasm-2.01-1

[Dean Scarff]

The cygwin package of nasm has been updated to the latest stable  
release, 2.01.


The Netwide Assembler, NASM, is an 80x86 and x86-64 assembler  
designed for portability and modularity.


Changes since 2.00:

  * Fix the handling of MMX registers with explicit "qword" tags on
memory (broken in 2.00 due to 64-bit changes.)
  * Fix the PREFETCH instructions.
  * Fix the documentation.
  * Fix debugging info when using "-f elf" (backwards alias for "-f
elf32").
  * Man pages for rdoff tools (from the Debian project.)
  * ELF: handle large numbers of sections.

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.
