Re: Group Permissions on root folders problem (Windows 10 TP build 10061)
Hi Corinna, Is there any progress regarding this problem? I recently encountered the same situation. After some trials, I found this problem occurs if the account, on which cygwin setup is executed, is a Microsoft account. This does not occur if the account is a local account. Above is true for both: a) Group permissions on root folders b) Creating sshd service using cyg_server I would be happy if this information helps you.

Re: Problem with git and file mode changes
Adam, Ken, thank you for taking time to help me.
(BTW, did you keep my address in CC? Because I didn't get any of your
replies. I had to check the mailing list web archive [1]).
BTW(2): For the record, some data points I forgot to give in my initial post:
* The underlying filesystem is NTFS.
* I did not have this problem some weeks ago, with the same
system, Cygwin installation, and git repo. Therefore, some
change/update in my system/environment must have introduced the problem.
Ken's suggestion (setfacl -b test) didn't work, but it did work when I
executed it on individual files (eg. 'test/rmailmm.el' instead of
'test'). So the problem is apparently fixed after doing:
find . -exec setfacl -b {} \;
Thank you so much.

Per the very purpose of mailing list, you're expected to subscribe for
conversation.
You can't really expect people to go to the trouble of checking if they need
to send additional copies or not.

The idea of resetting ACL's on the top-level directory is to have a clean
start with the checkout. Doing it on an already existing tree may not yield
desirable results… as you've discovered yourself.
And if you ask me, a VCS that trying to preserve exact access mask is just
asking for trouble.

Standard procedure on this list (which I think is different to most such lists, but it's afaik what this list has always done) is to only CC people if there's an explicit reason to assume they're not subscribed (which normally means because they've said so). Otherwise we just assume they've subscribed to the list and will see responses that way. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: stunnel 5.23-1
A new version of stunnel, 5.23-1, is available in the Cygwin distribution. This is a new upstream release that adds SOCKS support in the client, among other new features and bug fixes. See http://www.stunnel.org/sdf_ChangeLog.html for the list of changes since the previous release, version 5.20. stunnel is a program that allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside TLS (Transport Layer Security, formerly known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)). stunnel can allow you to secure non-TLS-aware daemons and protocols (like POP, IMAP, LDAP, etc) by having stunnel provide the encryption, requiring no changes to the daemon's code.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: screen 4.3.1-1
A new version of screen, 4.3.1-1, is available in Cygwin x86. This is a new upstream release, with new features and bug fixes since the previous release, 4.2.1. See https://savannah.gnu.org/news/?group=screen for the list of changes. screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. Each virtual terminal provides the functions of the DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows the user to move text regions between windows. When screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the program as you normally would. Then, at any time, you can create new (full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill the current window, view a list of the active windows, turn output logging on and off, copy text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between windows, etc. All windows run their programs completely independent of each other. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and even when the whole screen session is detached from the user's terminal. Andrew E.

Sshd behaving strangely...
Greetings, I have installed Cygwin on a Windows 8.1 Enterprise workstation. It is a most recent full download of the whole Cygwin suite (within a week or so). Here are the relevant numbers: Windows 8.1 Enterprise Ver 6.3 Build 9600 [...] Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 2.2.1 DLL epoch: 19 DLL old termios: 5 DLL malloc env: 28 Cygwin conv: 181 API major: 0 API minor: 289 Shared data: 5 DLL identifier: cygwin1 Mount registry: 3 Cygwin registry name: Cygwin Installations name: Installations Cygdrive default prefix: Build date: Shared id: cygwin1S5 I don't provide a full dump at this stage, but I will if the discussion veers this way. The sshd package is: openssh7.1p1-1 OK openssh-debuginfo 7.1p1-1 OK The workstation is slaved, security wise, to the enterprise Active Directory, but it has local accounts that are not, I run sshd and exim using cygrunsrv on it thusly: Service : exim Description : Mail Transfer Agent Current State : Running Controls Accepted : Stop Command : /usr/bin/exim -bdf -q15m Service : sshd Display name: CYGWIN sshd Current State : Running Controls Accepted : Stop Command : /usr/sbin/sshd -D -e Now about the weirdness... I can connect to this system from another machine that is on the same subnet, on the same desk actually, that runs a very old version of Linux and a very old version of ssh (version 3.9p1). The sshd daemon on the Windows machine does not let me make a connection using a passphrase, but I can make a connection using a password of the Windows user and this works just fine. The message that is printed on sshd.log when this happens looks as follows: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-dss not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes [preauth] Accepted password for root from [IP number here] port 36014 ssh2 However, when I try to make a connection from another machine that runs Cygwin version 1.7.35 ssh version 6.8p1-1 the connection is rejected and the following message is printed in sshd.log: seteuid 1214318: Operation not permitted Now, I've checked the mailing list and I see that problems with sshd configuration are not uncommon. This particular problem with "Operation not permitted" was solved by David Koppenhofer by "asking the network admin to give 'Create a token object' to the service account." So, this problem appears to be a feature, perhaps, rather than a bug. But if this is so, then isn't the acceptance of the password and successful login into the account from the ancient version of ssh on the ancient Linux machine a... security bug? General question: how to configure sshd on Windows 8.1 Enterprise slaved to an Active Directory? Is there a document on-line somewhere that outlines the steps? Also, are any ports other than 22 involved on the sshd server machine?
