starting smartd automatically

2018-05-28 Thread Nuzhna Pomoshch via cygwin
I have (in my very limited time with cygwin) noticed that some daemons (sshd, syslog-ng) are run as Windows services, and started at boot. I have installed smartmontools, and see that it has a more traditional (linux) installation. The smartd start script is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. I am wondering i

Sorry to ask so many questions. In linux, this is easily done with loadkeys (though I have actually patched the keymaps before compiling kbd and the X terminal programs that I use), but I have no idea where those are set it cygwin. Thanks. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.htm

Would like to use vim-minimal if possible, but I am having an issue. The arrow keys work fine in command mode, but as soon as I change to input mode, pressing an arrow key inserts a letter (A, B, C, or D) and a newline. I haven't changed anything from the defaults. :) How do I fix this? -- Probl

Trying to configure ssh. Followed guides found on the internet (pretty much all the same). The problem comes when the script tries to create the user: *** Query: Create new privileged user account 'HOST\cyg_server' (Cygwin name 'host+cyg_server')? (yes/no) yes *** Info: Please enter a password
