Try

  mkgroup -U username -S- -L my_samba_box

When you use -D, it's looking for the domain name "my_samba_box", but
you're trying to get the group list from the machine called
"my_samba_box".  See mkgroup --help and the User's Guide:

I'm saying that "ignore nonexistent files, never prompt" is the default 
behaviour if you're running plain unaliased /usr/bin/rm.exe.

You mean "--preserve-root
  do not remove `/' (default)" (quoting the man page)?

I wonder whether I will receive another "If you're saying that "--
preserve-root" is always active when you type "rm" then, no that is not 
true" response.

It isn't.

What about just upgrading to 1.7.9?  I released it yesterday.  You
should have seen the announcement.

Resetting time via time server doesn't affect cygwin 'date'

2011-03-30 Thread Henry S. Thompson
I'm running 1.7.9-1 on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop.  I recently noticed
that my box was 15 seconds adrift from my Linux desktop.  After some
minor hassles, I was able to use Clock/Date and Time/Internet
Time/Change Settings/Update now to sync with a local ntp server, the
same one my desktop is using.  At this point the Windows clock on the
laptop and my desktop were in sync, but 'date' from a bash window was
_still_ 15 seconds out.

Is this a pervasive problem (to test this yourself, just use the
Windows UI to set your clock forward a minute, test the 'date' (it
should be as per Windows clock), then use the above path to resync
with a time server, and observe that 'date' is _not_ adjusted back),
or particular to Windows 7/Cygwin 1.7.9?

I found vsntp [1] which fixed the problem, but is as far as I can see
overkill as it's designed to fix a much more serious problem . . .

I just tested it: I set the time manually back five minutes via the the 
control panel > Date and Time. The time change was reflected in a Cmd 
window ("time /t") while a "date" in bash still showed the "old" time (+
5min). Where does the bash date gets the time from?!

There's an internal counter which is initialized by the first Cygwin
process started in a session.  So time chanegs made by a Cygwin process
are seen by other Cygwin processes in the same session, but time changes
outside of Cygwin or outside of the same session are not seen, unless all
Cygwin processes in a session are stopped and restarted.  This will be
fixed at one point.

So running something like this

   date -s `cmd /c echo %time%`

either _ad lib_ or as a cron job every few days will limit the damage,
at the cost of losing a bit across the board each time you do it,
since the situation is _not_ symmetrical.  That is, because date -s in
Cygwin _does_ reset the windows clock. . .

Certain files in Windows/System32 are invisible in Cygwin

2011-03-30 Thread Eric Bracken
This is a strange problem:  certain files in the Windows/System32
directory are not visible from Cygwin:

Studio(27): ls /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/nbtstat.exe
ls: cannot access /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/nbtstat.exe: No
such file or directory

But other ones are:

Studio(28): ls /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/PING.EXE
/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/PING.EXE

The system in question is Windows 7 64-bit (service pack 1), running
Cygwin 1.7.9-1.  I've tried it with and without user access control
enabled, but it doesn't make a difference.  CYGWIN is set to
"nodosfilewarning tty".

The problematic file (nbtstat.exe) most definitely exists and can be
run from a DOS prompt window.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Yeah, I thought so.  Ever heard about file system redirection?  If not,
see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187%28VS.85%29.aspx

Hint: Try `ls /cygdrive/c/Windows/Sysnative/nbtstat.exe'

This has nothing to do with Cygwin, except that Cygwin is a 32 bit
application.

Windows is lying to you: The file is *not* there.

Windows Vista and Win7 in the 64 bit variants have the file system
redirector
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187%28VS.85%29.aspx,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384249%28VS.85%29.aspx) which
makes all of this a mess.

Cygwin is a 32 bit application; this, it does NOT see
%WINDIR%\System32, but %WINDIR%\SysWOW64. I am sure nbtstat.exe does not
exist there, right?

HTH,
Spiro.

In my previous message, I mentioned that I already tried that and it did not 
return anything. Only because it didn't work was that I tried the -D option 
which I found in the documentation. Any suggestions why the list returned by 

  mkgroup -U username -S- -L my_samba_box

is empty?

Hi,

PS1 *must not* be exported.

historically, it is not exported to know if it is a shell is interactive 
or not since only interactive shells set it.


i.e., the following both solutions are equivalent.

case $- in *i*) interactive ;; esac
[ -n $PS1 ] && interactive

if PS1 is exported, it is always set for subshells and this may cause 
trouble in some script.


also, from man bash :

An  interactive  shell  is one started without non-option arguments and
without the -c option whose standard input and error are both connected
to  terminals  (as determined by isatty(3)), or one started with the -i
option.  PS1 is set and $- includes i if bash is interactive,  allowing
a shell script or a startup file to test this state.

ash is just a copy of dash, and csh is a symlink to tcsh.  However, you
are certainly correct about adding mksh, possibly removing the obsolete
pdksh in the process.

Subject: octave updated to 3.4.0-3. Please test
To: Octave users list


dear octave user on cygwin,

after some tricking, hacking and polishing the new octave 3.4.0-3 has
been released for cygwin.
Also lapack and qrupdate have been updated to solve the
libgfortran3-4.3.4-4 issue.

This configuration should work :

$ cygcheck -c octave liblapack0 cygwin libqrupdate0 libgfortran3
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.9-1        OK
libgfortran3         4.3.4-4        OK
liblapack0           3.2.2-2        OK
libqrupdate0         1.1.1-1        OK
octave               3.4.0-3        OK

and also this one (as I built all the package on cygwin-1.7.8-1 and
libgfortran3-4.3.4-4 )

$ cygcheck -c octave liblapack0 cygwin libqrupdate0 libgfortran3
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.8-1        OK
libgfortran3         4.3.4-4        OK
liblapack0           3.2.2-2        OK
libqrupdate0         1.1.1-1        OK
octave               3.4.0-3        OK

the configuration before libgfortran3 update, that worked was

$ cygcheck -c octave liblapack0 cygwin libqrupdate0 libgfortran3
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.8-1        OK
libgfortran3         4.3.4-3        OK
liblapack0           3.2.2-1        OK
libqrupdate0         1.1.0-1        OK
octave               3.4.0-2        OK

please test, including plotting and in case of failures let me know on
this mailing list or (better) in the cygwin mailing list.


Regards
Marco

I'll put it on the TODO list for the next update.
