RE: changing bash window title

[DePriest, Jason R.]

The cygwin FAQ has a section on the CYGWIN environment variable:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html
It includes the (no)strip_title and (no)title options.

You could also try the suggestions from section 6.3 of the Bash Prompt
HOWTO:

RE: SSH users cannot see SMB mounted network drives

[DePriest, Jason R.]

First of all, you might want to check out the excellent cygwin + ssh
mailing list here:
List Information: http://tech.erdelynet.com/mailman/listinfo/ssh-l/
List Archives:http://archive.erdelynet.com/ssh-l/

This issue has been beaten to death over there.

The end result is this: if you want SSH users to be able to access
network resources, sshd must run with an account that has access to
network resources.  SYSTEM does not have access to network resources.

RE: User names with spaces

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Yes.
Cygwin only really cares about the SSID.
Say my local administrator account is 'Administrator' with an SSID of
S-1-5-21-11-11-11-500.
However, I want cygwin to call it 'root' and call it's home directory
'admin'.
So the line in /etc/passwd would look like this:
root::500:513:U-LOCALHOST\Administrator,S-1-5-21-11-11-1
1-500:/home/admin:/bin/bash

And everything works great.
When I open up cygwin, I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ pwd
/home/admin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~

RE: download the older version of openssh

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Installing the older version does make a difference.
I am using the installers from http://lexa.mckenna.edu/sshwindows/ on
remote systems.

Using the 20030512 build which includes sshd version 3.6.1p1-1 led to
the problems described previously.
Reverting to the 20030203 build (ssh 3.5p1-3) immediately fixed the
problems.

RE: rxvt shortcut problem (bash, XP, memory, heap, Win32 error 487)

[DePriest, Jason R.]

What are the contents of your shortcut?

I point to this batch file:

@echo off
C:
cd \cygwin\bin
rxvt.exe -bg white -fg black -fn "Lucida Console-12" -ls -sl 9000 -rv
-geometry 110x49 -sb -si -sk -sr -sw -e bash --login -i


Which works fine.  I briefly see a command window and then the RXVT term
comes up and the command window disappears.

Uh, it's called a public mailing list.  You should never be surprised to
receive spam on an email address you use to post to a ML, that's just
how the world works.  Use a throwaway account if it bothers you.  I also
suggest SpamAssassin.

RE: Cygwin vs: Windoze services for Unix

[DePriest, Jason R.]

I used to have a universal subscription to MSDN (until I switched
departments) and I was able to test Windows Services for Unix and the
(at the time) separate Interix subsystem.

They do what they are supposed to do, but cygwin does a whole lot more.

I found the cygwin project to be actively developed and far more robust
than the other offerings.

I have no idea what the newest versions of WSfU offer, but I highly
doubt it has the day-to-day usefulness of cygwin.

The interix subsystem isn't as flexible as cygwin IMHO.
The useful bits are the NFS utilities which do not have source & 
password synchronization which has source for *nix (not GPL).

My /etc/profile (the default one with cygwin) contains this:

Like find, rexec, ... Having 'C:\Cygwin\bin' at the front of your PATH 
environment variable would have solved this.

Corinna,

User Accounts have a USER_FLAGS attribute that can be any combination of
a couple of values.  One of these can be UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD.  If it
is present, the password never expires.

I typically manipulate it using Dave Roth's Win32::AdminMisc perl module
(UserGetMiscAttributes and UserSetMiscAttributes)... which is likely
beyond the scope of what you want this script to do.

The CREATEUSERS.VBS script from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit
(Supplement 1) looks promising.  I haven't used it, but the code seems
capable of specifying the UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWORD option.
I would attach the .vbs file (as a .txt file), but it is copyrighted by
Microsoft.  If anyone knows if emailing it would be "bad" or not, let me
know.

I had this happen to me last night.  Thanks for letting me know it
wasn't "just me".
I didn't debug it as thoroughly as you did (it was late, I was tired).
I just killed processes until it told me the install completed
successfully.

I'll have to check out the setup log files tonight to make sure they
aren't ~huge~.

I'm guessing the '+' is used whenever there are permissions that do not

RE: ssh ProxyCommand - connect.exe

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Is SSH running on port 80 on yahoo.com?

You are asking 'connect.exe' to use 'surf.proxy.com' as your SOCKS proxy
server to connect via SSH to 'www.yahoo.com' on port 80.

The 'SOCKS' port defaults to 1080 since you didn't specify one.

-Jason

I am not sure where you downloaded connect.exe from, but the information
I used to troubleshoot this was from this site:
http://www.imasy.or.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html

RE: ssh ProxyCommand - connect.exe

[DePriest, Jason R.]

I am able to exactly reproduce your problem and I do not know why.
Because I have always used the ProxyCommand method described on the
website.
By creating a ~/.ssh/config file and using the guidelines to add this:
[file]
Host *
ProxyCommand connect -S socks.local.net:1080 %h %p
[/file]

I can just run 
$ ssh host.domain.net
and it works.

It ~does not~ prompt me for a user name and password for the SOCKS5
server like it is supposed to.
I am prompted for my SSH user name and password on the remote system,
though.

Servers Alive product now supports OpenSSH running on Cygwin

[DePriest, Jason R.]

I've been working with Woodstone tech support for the Servers Alive
system monitoring software (http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/) trying to
get their Remote PS Com add-on (designed for SSH on *nix) to work with
Cygwin + OpenSSH.

After about a week, they were able to get a version working with it.

So if you have lots of systems running Cygwin + OpenSSH that you need to
monitor, you can use SA for it now.

Now I can remotely monitor running processes on my systems through
OpenSSH running on Cygwin.

Thank you!

Jason DePriest

If you are a command-line junkie, you should have a Windows command called cacls that 
would also work.
Something like:
C:\>cd cygwin
C:\cygwin>cacls * /T /E /G Flo:F

Since you upgraded from an ancient version of Cygwin, following the

Please attach what it asks for so the group can help you out.

It could be as simple as a package that did not get updated...

If you are a member of a domain with a huge number of groups, you can
take a short cut to figure out what mkgroup-l-d is really looking for.

The '-n' lists the user names and groups as their GID/UID number.  I
then used mkgroup to list all the domain groups and grep'd for the GID
listed.
Problem solved.  It was looking for Domain Users.
I can just put that entry in my /etc/group file and all is good now.

I changed the display name of the group from 'Domain Users' to 'users_d'

RE: vi and cygwin

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but try this command-line
option with vim.

-+- man vim -+-

-C  Compatible.  Set the 'compatible' option.  This  will  make
   Vim  behave  mostly  like  Vi,  even  though  a
.vimrc file
   exists.

RE: python and cygwin

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Cygwin aims to do both.

It provides *nix tools running on Windows from a DLL implemented POSIX
environment.  Or something like that.

There are other places to get some of the GNU tools ported to Win32
without the cygwin1.dll requirement.  However, you do not get the full
benefits of a robust and maintained *nix-ish development environment.

So either cygwin meets your needs or it doesn't.

In your case, what cygwin provides might be overkill.

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/overview.html
[quote]Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of a
DLL (cygwin1.dll), which acts as an emulation layer providing
substantial POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) system call
functionality, and a collection of tools, which provide a Linux look and
feel. The Cygwin DLL works with all x86 versions of Windows since
Windows 95.[/quote]

I actually implemented the following so that my script will still work
correctly after whatever whatever is fixed.

I am in the Central Time Zone, so you'd have to adjust the number of
seconds you add or remove accordingly.

[code]
use Time::Local;
print "GM: " . gmtime() . "\n";
print "Local: " . localtime() . "\n";
if (gmtime() eq localtime()) {
print "GM time and localtime are the same!\n";
print "I'll have to make some adjustments.\n";
if ($isdst) {
$time = time() - 18000;
} # end of if it is daylight savings time
else {
$time = time() - 21600;
} # end of else it is standard time
$adjtime = gmtime($time);
print "Adjusted: $adjtime\n";
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
gmtime($time);
$mon += 1;
$year += 1900;
} # end of if local time is calculated as gm time
else {  
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
localtime;
$mon += 1;
$year += 1900;
} # end of else the local time is correct
[/code]

Yes I see this problem, too.

I am using Process Explorer 8.32 on Windows 2000 Pro.

It also causes the CPU utilization of the cygwin process to jump to

ListDLLs, the command-line version of that feature, exhibits the same

What is your bash prompt (PS1) set to?
If you have '\h' in it, it will try to put your host name there and it
has to look it up before it can display it.

You could also consider using rxvt as the shell.

I have a .bat file for starting a window that looks like this:
[batch]
@echo off
C:
cd \cygwin\bin
rxvt.exe -bg white -fg black -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-12" -ls -sl 9000 -rv
-geometry 110x50 -sb -si -sk -sr -sw -e bash --login -i
[/batch]

The rxvt start options are specified on the command-line instead of the
hand-waving way that the start options for cmd are specified.

That is similar to asking why someone would use Cygwin if they already
have VMware or Bochs.

The two products serve different purposes.

VMware, Bochs, and Co-Linux are emulators that create a virtual PC
(oops, forgot to mention Microsoft's Virtual PC product) on your system.

Cygwin is not an emulator.

Cygwin is not a subsystem.

Cygwin is more like an interface or gateway to allow Windows-centric
tools and commands to access *nix centric tools and commands.

Windows does this directly.  You do not have to telnet or SSH "into"
your cygwin "partition" or "system".

You can open an old-fashioned MS-DOS-style COMMAND.COM prompt and type
'ls'.  Assuming you don't have some of the Microsoft Resource Kit tools
installed, and the cygwin\bin directory is in your path, the cygwin
'ls.exe' command will run and show you the directory listing.

If you have any of the emulators installed, you cannot do this.  You
might as well have two completely seperate systems sitting on your desk.

Speaking of builds, can you please specify which version of perl you are

Peter,

Can you provide a simple but complete script and data source that
recreate your error?
I don't know what the data you are parsing is supposed to look like so I
am having trouble coming up with something that gives me the error you

Also, I don't know what your variables are set to.

Igor,

Great job!  This seems to fix it under Cygwin perl 5.8.0-5, but I still
get errors using ActiveState Perl for Windows.  Which probably means
(unless Peter cannot get this fix working under Cygwin) that we should
take it off the list.

You are too fast... I had narrowed it down to that particular elsif, but
hadn't caught the problem yet...

RE: no longer administrator, can't mkdir /foo

[DePriest, Jason R.]

You may need to get permission to temporarily logon as a local admin and
then change the owner of all of the directories under cygwin.
As almost all of my directories and files seem to be owned by
admins.mkgroup.  See if you can change the ownership to the Power User
group or something else that you are a member of.
Btw - I renamed the Administrators group to admin in my /etc/group file.

I already did for similar reasons.  It doesn't recurse directories and
it renames ALL files (not just .exe), but it does work.

[- perl script -]
# This script will take files names that are in

use File::Copy;

$PathToFiles = $ARGV[0];

chdir($PathToFiles);
@FileNameList = glob("*.*");
foreach $FileName (@FileNameList) {
$FileNamelc = lc $FileName;
copy("$PathToFiles\\$FileName","$PathToFiles\\$FileName\.tmp");
rename("$PathToFiles\\$FileName","$PathToFiles\\$FileNamelc");
unlink("$PathToFiles\\$FileName\.tmp");
print "$FileName renamed to $FileNamelc\n";

See if 'dos2unix' from the 'cygutils' package does what you need.

Making 'su' work under a cygwin bash shell

[DePriest, Jason R.]

I have had only moderate success getting su.exe from the Windows 2000
Resource Kit working as a drop-in for the unix 'su' command.
The version of su.exe that I am using is one that is not yet publicly
available, but the issues still remain (I had to get the newer version to
fix another issue I was having).

SU for Windows NT v3.00 Jun 28 2000 19:48:15
(c) Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997.  Written by Scott Field


I don't know true shell scripting, so I wrote a simple perl script instead.
Assume the variables are defined correctly.

$ cat su2.pl
$user = 'Administrator';
$password = '';
$domain = 'LocalHost';
$cygrootNT = 'C:\\cygwin';
$supathCYG = '/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Resource Kit';
open(PASSTMP,">/tmp/$user.password");
print PASSTMP $password;
close(PASSTMP);
print "\nAttemtping to execute the following:\n";
print "\"$supathCYG\\su.exe\" $user \"$cygrootNT\\bin\\bash.exe\" $domain -v
-e < \"$cygrootNT\\tmp\\$user.password\"\n";
system("\"$supathCYG\\su.exe\" $user \"$cygrootNT\\bin\\bash.exe\" $domain
-v -e < \"$cygrootNT\\tmp\\$user.password\"");
open(PASSTMP);
close(PASSTMP);
exit;


The script ~almost~ works as desired.  It runs the resultant bash prompt in
a new window.  I want to figure out how to make the new bash shell run
inside the bash shell it was run from.
Here is the output from when I run it:

$ perl su2.pl
Attempting to execute the following:
"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Resource Kit\su.exe" Administrator
"C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe" THIN-LINE -v -e <
"C:\cygwin\tmp\Administrator.password"
User=Administrator
Domain=LocalHost
ReferencedDomain=LocalHost
CommandLine=C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
TextualSid=S-1-5-21-1960408961-152049171-1060284298-500
LogonSid=S-1-5-5-0-7029156
CurrentWinsta+Desktop=WinSta0\Default
TargetWinsta+Desktop=WinSta0\Default


If anyone can tell me how to keep the shell in the same window, I'd be
appreciative.  Or if anyone knows of some version of su that works natively
under a cygwin bash shell, I'd be even more appreciative!

Thank you!

What environment variables are needed under Cygwin?

[DePriest, Jason R.]

This may be a stupid question; but I can't find a good list of common
environment variables for most applications to work.
I am not talking about the CYGWIN variable.  That variable is very well
documented throughout this list and on the Cygwin site documentation.
I mean variables like HTTP_proxy and TZ.
I have had very little success getting the *_proxy variables working with
lynx, ncftp, or wget.
I just want to know what variables you guys set to make your job easier.
I tried setting a few other variables through the profile script, but those
didn't work too well either.

Thank you!

"Any opinions"

And your asking about Linux?  I am guessing it was a rhetorical
question...

I use Debian GNU/Linux as my distro of choice.  I chose it mainly
because of its wonderful package management tools.  If you do use
Debian, please don't use the 'stable' release.  It is very ancient (but
stable!).  Use the 'testing' release.  For the most part, you won't have
any problems and if you do have a problem, expect it to be fixed
quickly.
I actually used their recommended application, jigdo, to build a
'testing' ISO image.  Then I made a CD and installed off of that.
Afterwards, I have some packages that I use the 'unstable' release for
and even one that I use the 'experimental' release for.  Everything else
I keep at 'testing'.

I tried Mandrake and Gentoo, but they don't update very well from behind
a proxy server that requires authentication.

I haven't used RedHat since 7.3.

I am not in a position to test it out right now.

But what happens if you have the Cygwin SSH service on the remote system
set to interact with the local desktop?  Cygrunsrv has a commandline
switch --interactive to set this when you install the service, but you
can also change it by looking at the service properties through the
Windows services applet.

If you have privilege separation enabled, try disabled it.

You can do it easily by using regedit (disclaimer: back up your registry

Change the '-D' to a '-D -r'

After restarting the service, it might work.

PocketPC might be running from a mobile phone or something.  VNC is
possible, but not optimized for the tiny display.  I've tried SSH client

quickly decided I'd rather not do it again.

RE: Suggesting an application

[DePriest, Jason R.]

If you install winpcap (http://winpcap.polito.it/), you can use windump
(http://windump.polito.it/).

If it is in your PATH while you are running a cygwin shell, you can run
it from there.  You can ssh into a system running cygwin's OpenSSH
server and run windump (assuming you installed it on the remote system).

It works just like tcpdump for the most part since it uses tcpdump as
the code-base.

Since Cygwin is just a subsystem and not a virtual machine of any kind,
recompiling libpcap or tcpdump would be sort of pointless.

I am running Cygwin 1.5.12.

I also have ActiveState Perl installed (5.6.1, build 638).

Running your test script does not produce a pop-up box for me.  It

Re: sshd on windows

[DePriest, Jason R.]

There are several.

You can purchase a Windows SSH server from F-Secure or SSH
Corporation.  The servers support SSH2 and SFTP.  I haven't looked at
the F-Secure version in a long time, but the SSH Corporation version
supports PKI in addition to user name / password.

If you google for 'ssh server win32' you can get lots of pointers.  I
have no idea which of the shareware / freeware ssh servers are using
cygwin; so you can research that on your own.

Keeping cygwin updated on remote systems

[DePriest, Jason R.]

I have about 20 systems that are either behind firewalls that I don't
control or hardened so that my only access to them is via SSH.

I am using OpenSSH installed with the Cygwin setup.exe program and
configured with the included scripts.

I also tunnel VNC through SSH to get a remote desktop when necessary.

My problem is: how do I keep these systems updated since my only
access is through the components I need to update?

I am also trying to find a way to avoid manually connecting to each
system to run setup.exe and then rebooting it so in-use files can be
updated.

Does anyone have any methods they use to handle this?

The 20 systems should all be mostly identical.  So my first thought
was to create a representative build in a test lab, keep it updated,
and then batch an rsync over SSH of the files to the 20 systems
identically up-to-date.

How can I handle in-use files if I am not using setup.exe?

I would love to hear any suggestions that anyone has.

Re: Keeping cygwin updated on remote systems

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Remote Desktop is not available on them.

I can already use VNC tunneled through SSH to manually run setup.exe.

What I really need is a way to update the files that have changed and
run the install scripts without running setup.exe.

RE: Can run.exe be packaged separately from X?

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Check the properties of your shortcut.

On the 'Shortcut' tab look at the entry in the 'Run:' field.

It should say 'Normal window' but probably says 'Minimized'.

Thanks!

When I first played with rxvt two months ago I tried a similar shortcut
and found that this started a DOS window as well that could not be
killed
without killing the rxvt window.  This was in line with what some of the
documentation predicted - and the same documentation suggested using run
to take care of the problem.  That's how I got into using run.

Now I have tried your shortcut and it works without creating a DOS
window.
There is the slight disadvantage that the window does not pop up but 
starts out parked in the task bar.  Does this happen for you?

Somebody seems a bit grumpy today.

I apologize for the 'disclaimer' as it was recently added to our
corporate Exchange servers which I do not have administrative control
over.

I use corporate-standard Outlook as my email client and I don't know how
to make it obfuscate email addresses by default.

I usually manually fix the email addresses, but I didn't remember to do
it.

Also, I'm guessing nobody else gets this problem, or someone would have
mentioned it: I get the confidentiality disclaimer appended *TWICE*.
Exchange sticks it on once when the message goes out, and, since it
recognized that I'm an employee, sticks another one on when it comes
back in.

I was wondering if John Kramer could try NOBINMODE in his CYGWIN
environment variable to try to get around the issues he has.

I recently had a system crash and I completely forgot about
Outlook-QuoteFix when I got my new system.  Thanks for reminding about
this great tool.  I'm using it now.

Depending on what you mean by "access", I would highly recommend using
the OpenSSH package that can be downloaded via setup.exe.

After downloading it, run the ssh-host-config script to get an ssh
daemon running as a service.

Then run ssh-user-config to get all the keys and directories generated
for your user account.

There is a doc at /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README that explains the
OpenSSH + Cygwin specific wonkiness and the regular SSH docs are at
/usr/share/doc/openssh.

I would suggest installing openssh from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe.

After that you can run the ssh-host-config script to install it as a
service.

After making sure the other guy's user ID is in your /etc/passwd file,
you can have him log on your system locally and get to a bash prompt to
initialize his environment.  Then have him run ssh-user-config to get
the ssh stuff for his user account created.

After that, he should be able to ssh into your system and do what he
needs to do.

I always thought that the 'Because We're Just Mean' slogan was a joke.
Well apparently I was wrong.

I cannot believe the level of posturing I am seeing from the
Cygwin-elite.

I live in Memphis, TN, the town where Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot
and killed for trying to change they way things were.

If he and others had simply said, "Blacks and whites are separate but
equal.  That's the way it has always been and that is how it should stay
because it works.  It doesn't matter if true equality has merits and
would benefit some people; everybody else will just have to get over
it," where would The South (that's what it's called down here) be today?

Where would the United States be?

Cygwin is an amazing project.  The tools created by its members make
working in a Windows-centric environment much more bearable.

That does not give some of the project's top members the right to be
complete holier-than-thou ass holes.

I love what Cygwin has enabled me to do since I discovered it a few
years ago.  The community has always been quick to fix issues and keep
the tools up-to-date.  But this feeling that some people's opinions are
golden while others are tin just doesn't make sense.  And it has truly
injured ~my~ opinion of the project as a whole.

It is like when parents who think they know better simply say "because I
said so."

Please at least look into alternatives or "fixing" the system that
started this discussion.

Notice that I have lovingly set my mailer to wrap at 76 characters and I
am using Outlook-QuoteFix for some of the other niceties.  I still have
to manually fix in-line email addresses, though.  I do this to try and
appease the dysfunctional family of the online community of which I
joyfully a member of.

I know you can do 'mean'.  Try 'nice' or at least 'thoughtful and open
minded'.

You'll need to type the command "cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out",
which doesn't require the letter 'a', so you should be good.

I have a perl script that I use from a Windows command prompt that does this.

It uses Digest::MD5, Win32::File, Win32::File::VersionInfo, and Win32::FileTime to get 
as much information as possible.

It won't run under a cygwin prompt because I don't have all of those Win32 modules 
available, but if you are interested, I can send it to you.

Here is a sample of the output:

Re: updated bash to latest 3.1.17(8)-release; startup has errors now

[DePriest, Jason R.]

This google search was pretty much worthless when I ran it before I
sent my message in:
bash "command not found" site:cygwin.com inurl:ml

vi did not show any unusual line endings (CR/LF) in /etc/profile
before I sent my message in

I noticed that the cygcheck output said things weren't there when a
manual check shows that they are there and that they are in the path
that cygcheck says it is checking.

For my issue, not the thread hijacking 'make' issue, I do not have a
dual-core or hyperthreaded system.

I did read the release notes when they came out.  The ANNOUNCE list is
the only one that I read all the messages for.  It did not look like
it should be causing the issues I am having.

It was updated though; so it is my first target.

I will try the update that was just released tomorrow and see if it
makes a difference.

If it does, then I clearly have a cr/lf or two somewhere and I must
root them out and destroy them.

Thanks.

If you've STFLA'd, it is good to mention this when asking your question. :-)

...and you know to look for '(dos)' in the status line, right? Although
as Larry pointed out, this is only reliable if vi[m] is configured a
certain way; ultimately, you might want to just try running d2u on it
regardless of what you *think* the line endings are. (Also, have you
checked that there is not some OTHER script being called at login, say
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, etc) that has 'bad' line endings?)

Ok, but again you should have mentioned that in your first e-mail...
Otherwise, as you can see, people jump to the obvious conclusion.

Plus, the more information you give off the bat, the more likely someone
is to notice a problem and come up with a solution.

For some reason, I forgot to look for the [dos] as I thought vi would
just show me the ^M at the end all the time.

I am a bonehead for that.

both od -c and vi -b show that, sure enough, there are plenty of \r\n in there.

Oops and sorry to bother everyone, but at least I learned something out of it.

I use cygwin ssh to connect to a Solaris 8 server and to a Debian
GNU/Linux Sarge workstation.

I also connect to an SSH, Inc Windows SSH server and to a couple
cygwin ssh servers.

I do not experience a noticeable slow-down for ssh terminal connections.

The Solaris system bogs down when running X apps to the degree that I
don't bother running X apps from it any more.  I think this is more of
a resource limitation on the Solaris system than on my cygwin system.

The Debian system is slower than I would like, but probably normal and
not as bad as the symptoms you describe.

My anti-virus software does not seem to contribute to any slowness.  I
am running McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i, patch 11.

Hi,

I still have problems with ssh-agent/ssh-add when I install McAfee.
Browsing over the internet didn't yield a working solution. Before I

McAfee (version 10?) disabling McAfee doesn't make any difference
anymore. Only an uninstall of McAfee makes things work again but this is
not an option.

A search of the mailing lists yielded other reports of the same problem
but no real solutions.

After some digging in the source I found that ssh-agent keeps waiting in
the select for ssh-add to connect. For whatever reason ssh-add seems to
be unable to connect to the AF_LOCAL socket created by ssh-agent.

Attached the strace files from ssh-agent and ssh-add as well as the
cygcheck output.



DELETED Ridiculous amount of stuff that probably should have been in
an attachment.

I am not familiar with the home version of McAfee VirusScan, but I do
run VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i, patch 11 at work.

Buffer Overflow Protection is disabled by default at the ePolicy
Orchestrator (management server) level because it broke a large number
of applications.

I would see if you can just disable that feature.

Also, if McAfee is the definitive problem, turn on all the logging for
McAfee and see if they tell you what they are blocking.

The home version of the product may have a lot more of their firewall
built in to it for all I know.

All this version does is simple port blocking and a little bit of
worm-like behavior blocking (which you may also want to check out if
you can).

My two guesses would be Buffer Overflow Protection and Access
Protection (that is what they are called in my version).

Anyway, I tried to disable all McAfee options (Virus Protection, Spyware

avail. With the previous version of McAfee (version 8 I think) I was
able to diable enough to get it working.

When I run ssh-agent with the -d flag (which also keeps it in the
foregound), it works. Only when ssh-agent is started as daemon does the
problem show up. Looks like a privilege problem to me but I will keep
digging.

I was digging through the archives of another website dedicated to
cygwin and ssh and found this:
http://erdelynet.com/archive/ssh-l/2006-02/3608.html

It is for version 8.0i (which is what I am running), but have you
tried running rebaseall as it suggests?

This wacky long-might-not-work link from searching Google groups

suggests running sshd with '-D -r'

Good luck!

By the way, have you tried to contact McAfee support?

Hmm, yup, I bet that's it. See (1) for another example (note: I am also

After installing and running Cygwin (on Windows XP Professional) as an
administrator, I tried to run it as an ordinary user (no

installed Cygwin, I made sure to select the option to make Cygwin
available to all users, however as an ordinary user, clicking on the
Cygwin icon on my deskop started the BASH shell, which printed "bash:
/etc/profile: Permission denied" and the shell was useless because the
environment wasn't set up.

Now, the Cygwin icon on the desktop is a .bat file with these contents:

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i

When a user runs this script for the first time, the user's home
directory is created in /home (really C:\cygwin\home) and
configuration files are copied into the user's home directory. I'm not
certain how this happens (anyone know?) but I'm guessing something
about my file permissions is preventing this. I'm providing the output
of cacls (the Windows command line utility for inspecting file
permissions) for C:\cygwin, C:\cygwin\home, C:\cygwin\etc, and
C:\cygwin\etc\profile. I'm not an expert in NT object permissions but
perhaps someone who is will spot the problem, or tell me that I'm
barking up the wrong tree. Here is the cacls output; note that
SYSENG-PLAYPEN0\largyt is the administrative user who successfully
installed and ran Cygwin; the ordinary user trying to run Cygwin
doesn't appear anywhere in the output:

- - - - - 8< - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Since you are running Windows XP Professional, you can do a little bit
of troubleshooting via the GUI to set file permissions.

Open 'My Computer' / 'Explorer' and browse to the parent directory of
the directory you want to examine, for example C:\cygwin.

Right click on the directory you want to examine and select Properties.

For example, I right clicked on C:\cygwin\etc

Visit the Security tab and click on the Advanced button.

Select the tab on the far right: Effective Permissions

Put a user name in the 'Group or user name' field that cannot access
the folder and then try one that can access this folder.

Hopefully, your problem will jump out.

Another thing to examine is your /etc/passwd file.

Make sure the users who will be using the system is listed there and
if not put him in with the mkpasswd command.

I'm fairly certain that the stuff you see in that directory when you

There are actually magic subdirectories in the Temporary Internet

ls -a on my directory give me this:

Check out Content.IE5 and look in its subdirectories.

There you will find what you seek.

What if you use the option to set environment variables when you
install the service with cygrunsrv?

--env VAR=VALUE

You can use this option multiple times (up to 255 times according to
the --help) to set up as many environment options as you need.

I typically use it to redirect TEMP to /tmp for ssh like this
--env TMP=/tmp --env TEMP=/temp

and to set the CYGWIN environment variable
--env CYGWIN=TTY NTSEC SMBNTSEC BIMODE NTEA

These are stored in the registry and should be read every time ssh starts.

"Business need" always trumps "security" in my experience.  That's why
I work in IT Risk Management instead of Data Security.

Regardless, here is how my corkscrew is set up to work properly.

We have Blue Coat proxies that require authentication (tied to active
directory).

I have a file called ~/.ssh/jrdepriest.auth that has a single line:
proxy_user:proxy_pass (obviously with the actual user name and password)

My ~/.ssh/config file has a section ike this:
Host ww.xx.yy.zz
 Connection Attempts 5
 ConnectionTimeout 10
 Protocol 2,1
 LogLevel DEBUG3
 ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/corkscrew proxy.domain.com:8080 %h %p
~/.ssh/jrdepriest.auth

When I run ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED], it automatically invokes the
corkscrew command which reads my user name and password from the auth
file and sends the information to port 8080 on our proxy server (HTTP,
not HTTPS or SOCKS or FTP which are also all available).

It just works.

What does a hex view of your shell script say the line ending are?

For example, I have a working script and my line endings are \x0A

My Windows-y scripts all have \x0D\x0A

You can try u2d, then d2u to see if that can clean up wonky line endings.


Here is an example of one of my unsophisticated .sh files; it was intended
to clean up after a latex session:
rm *.div *.aux *.log


rm is actually in your path, yes?


when I run the clean.sh (this was the name I gave to it), I get the 'command

This is the same error you get when bash doesn't understand the line
endings.  What sort of mount (binary vs. text) are your shells scripts
on?

What shell do you run?  The stuff we are talking about is all bash.

No, this does not make sense.

If you had services installed via cygrunsrv and they were running, you
could stop / start them and call that restarting Cygwin services (a
stretch).

More correctly, it would just be 'restarting cygwin sshd' or
'restarting cygwin syslog'.

And even then, the 'cygwin' moniker in the name is sort of extraneous.

If you bought the SSH Communications Security version of the secure
shell service, would you say 'restarting SSH Communications Security
SSH server service' or just 'sshd'?

Also, this became a candidate for TITTTL long ago.

3PP source code question (IANAL)

[DePriest, Jason R.]

Are 3PPs that bundle an old version of cygwin1.dll required in any way
to provide the source code of their app so that I can recompile it
with a modern version of cygwin1.dll?

I have used Foundstone's (now part of McAfee) free tools (found here

few of them use the cygwin dll (Pasco, Galleta, Rifiuti).

I just opened up vim from a bash prompt in an rxvt window, manually

I am too lazy to search the (recent) archives about the bash

Run d2u on your script, and it should work fine.

unable to remove hard link

[DePriest, Jason R.]

I did some unfortunate experimenting with compiling different versions
of Sleuthkit and Autopsy (http://www.sleuthkit.org) before they
officially started supporting cygwin.

Autopsy wipes out your PATH when it runs to make sure you are using
the correct version of the utilities.

This also means, it could not see any of the Cygwin dlls that the
tools were compiled with (they've implemented intelligent work-arounds
since then).

I tried hard linking the various dlls it needed in its designated bin directory.

The experiment isn't important (since they now support Cygwin out of
the box), what is important is that I cannot delete my hard links.

Actually, I can get it to go the recycle bin, but it won't leave the
recycle bin.

I can 'restore' them but I cannot empty it.

Looking through my bash history file, I see I did:
chmod a+rwx cygz.dll
unlink cygz.dll

This let me delete the file as far as getting it to the recycle bin,
but that is as far as I can go.

The specific error from Windows is:
Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete cygz: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is
not currently in use.

Since the file is in my recycle bin, this message makes no sense.

Is there some way I can make the original cygz.dll forget all about a
couple of its hard links because ls still shows it has 3 total instead
of 1 like every other single dll.

Thanks!

 From your cygcheck.out:

Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path

Get rid of the one in 'c:\Tools\Foundstone\'.  This is most
likely your problem.

Get rid of "ntea" in your CYGWIN environment variable.  You don't
need it and it could get in your way.

Well how about that; it worked.

I just renamed the other cgywin1.dll to cygwin1.dll.OLD and took NTEA

I always add the environment variables I want an SSH shell to have
when I install it.

However, if you are using the ssh-config-host script, that may not be
as easy (I cannot remember and since it is already installed, I don't
want to run it again as it might hose something up).

You can however add the environment variables you want to the Windows
registry directly.

Basically, look in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\\Parameters\Environment\

Create REG_SZ values with the names of the environment variable you
want to set and make the value data what you want it set to.

For example, I usually end up with:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sshd\Parameters\Environment]
"CYGWIN"="TTY NTSEC SMBNTSEC BINMODE CODEPAGE:OEM"
"TEMP"="/tmp"

I thought the idea here was that the manifest tells the system
explicitly "I am not an installer and I do not need to be run with
elevated privileges", i.e. treat it like a normal program.




From Microsoft Vista's UAC Dev Requirements

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When developing new installation programs, much like developing
programs for Windows Vista, be sure to embed an application manifest
with an appropriate requestedExecutionLevel element. See the Step Six:
Create and Embed an Application Manifest with Your Application section
for more information. When the requestedExecutionLevel is present in
the embedded application manifest, it overrides Installer Detection.

So if you use



It should work without requiring elevated privileges.  Maybe.

Did you install sshd with the ssh-host-config script?

Did you use privilege separation?

Re: "/bin/bash: permission denied" using Cygwin ssh/sshd under WinXP 2003 x64: resolved

Thanks for replying.  I've attached the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r".

Frustratingly, it appears that after a reboot (required because my
company pushed some updates to my system), ssh to localhost no longer works.

If I stop the sshd service, start a command shell as "sshd_server",
start bash in that shell, and then run "/usr/sbin/sshd -d" I can see the
debug output from sshd.  Here's what I believe is the pertinent bit of
that debug output:

Failed none for kasper from 127.0.0.1 port 4056 ssh2
debug1: userauth-request for user kasper service ssh-connection method
publickey
debug1: attempt 1 failures 1
debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable
debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1003/513 (e=1014/513)
seteuid 1003: Permission denied
debug1: do_cleanup

In the bash window from which I run ssh, I see this:

~ 506 $ ssh localhost
Connection closed by 127.0.0.1

It appears to be the failing "seteuid 1003" call that's the proximal
cause of the failure.

If, however, I run "/usr/sbin/sshd -d" in a command prompt + bash
session started as user "kasper", everything works:

~ 508 $ ssh localhost
Enter passphrase for key '/home/kasper/.ssh/id_rsa':
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.

   TERM=ansi
Parsing .bash_profile   Done.
~ 501 $

I used both ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config to set up sshd.  I did
not use privilege separation, but I did configure sshd to run as a service.

The other problems I've been seeing are a Windows "Error 1062" message
when trying to start sshd and the "/bin/bash: permission denied" error I
mentioned in my previous post.  I thought the "/bin/bash: permission
denied" error was resolved, but this failure also appears to involve
permissions.

I have a feeling most if not all the problems are caused by interactions
with the WinXP 2003 x64 security/permissions system, which I believe are
the same as those for WinXP Server 2003.

-Brian


I have a Windows 2003 Server that is 32-bit and runs sshd fine.
Cygcheck calls the host OS: Windows 2003 Enterprise Server Ver 5.2
Build 3790 Service Pack 1

Looking at the other differences between our configs, I see that my
service information for sshd is identical except for my Environment
line which is
CYGWIN="TTY NTSEC SMBNTSEC BINMODE"

The rights for my /etc/sshd_config are r--r--r-- sshd_server users.local
The rights for my /var/log/sshd.log are rw-r--r-- sshd_server none

I am ~not~ using privilege separation.

You could also try downloading Microsoft Sysinternals' Process Monitor
application.  It works on W2k3.  If you filter for 'cygwin' in the
path and run your ssh tests again, maybe you can see what specifically
is being called when the failure happens.

I don't see the set_uid lines in my debug logs which is probably
because I am not using privsep on this system.

I believe Outpost has been implicated before when these kinds of problems
pop up.  Not sure about Avast.  You can check the email archives for details.
If these are recent changes (or at least different than the last time
when you didn't have these problems), you can uninstall them and try again.
Turning them off is not generally enough because of changes these kinds of
programs make in the network stack when they are installed.

To install anything Cygwin, go to http://www.cygwin.com and click on
the 'Install or update now' link which runs setup.exe.

First, reboot if you haven't already.  Something may have open handles on bash.

For clues:
What if setup fails?  http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.setup-fails

To get it off your system so you can do a clean install:
How do I uninstall all of Cygwin?
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all

If bash still won't go away, check its permissions and ownership with
the Windows Explorer GUI.

After you get rid of everything, try running setup.exe again.

Okay, how can I set SHELLOPTS before invoking bash?  I tried it in the

You admit to not understanding or wanting to understand Unix.  What
about Windows?

It took me less than 60 seconds to figure this one out.

Create a new Windows System Environment variable called SHELLOPTS and
set it to igncr.

When you run cygwin's bash, it will keep that value and add the others in.

Depending on your network structure, you can automate this across all
of the other dev's systems with a login script, AD GPO, or even a
locally run script that access their registries remotely assuming you
have admin.
