Hello,
I am serving a cvs repository from a Windows XP Professional machine under
Cygwin 1.3.22 and I believe that I am having a file permissions problem in
the cvs repository. My repository is located at /cvs and all cvs users
belong to the "cvs" group as their primary group. All directories in
Windows XP
Professional server. I think that the permission problem I am experiencing
in the cvs repository is some kind of bug in the ntsec patch.

Larry,
I am referring to the ntsec setting for the CYGWIN environment variable. It
is described as the ntsec patch in the user document so I thought that was
the name people were familiar with.
Thanks,
Mark

John,
I am using Cygwin and sshd with public key authentication on a Windows XP
Professional machine and I am seeing the same ACL behavior that you are. I
have set the CYGWIN environment variable to "ntsec nontea" "nontsec ntea"
and "nontsec nontea". These settings do not affect the fundamental
John,
This is coming from a different angle, but have you thought of tightening
security using the SSH server instead? I think you are considering opening
up an interactive session using SSH in order to execute arbitrary commands
on the remote system. However, you can configure ssh on a per-acco
Prasad,
I'm not sure if this helps you but I am running Cygwin 1.3.22 with openssh
3.6.1p1-2 (which is the latest openssh version I believe) and I am not
having any problems. My machine is running Windows XP Professional. You
might try upgrading both Cygwin and openssh if that is feasible.

Jeffrey,
It appears that the public key authentication is failing. I am assuming
you are using SSH protocol version 2 since you do not have a key in
/home/jhood/.ssh/identity. Do you have both dsa and rsa keys in
/home/jhood/.ssh/id_rsa and /home/jhood/.ssh/id_dsa?
It would be helpful if you r
Jeffrey,
You must have used the ssh-host-config script and chosen to install sshd as
a Windows service. This causes SYSTEM to be the owner of the files since
SYSTEM is typically the user that runs Windows services. You can look at
the document /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-3.6.1p1-2.README for some mo
Neophytos,
Did you remember to set the CVS_RSH environment variable to "ssh"? I think
that by default cvs uses rsh as the ext protocol. By the way I am using cvs
with ssh and ext on Windows XP Professional and I have only had one
permissions-related problem (see

Myk,
I assume you are using Openssh? If you installed Openssh as a Windows
service then SYSTEM is the owner of the files, otherwise the owner is
whatever user did the installation. This is, of course, assuming that you
used the ssh-host-config script in /bin. However, I have installed it both

that so I
can close that security hole. :)

Max,
What problems is ntsec causing? I am a relatively new user and I have not
had any problems with it. In fact it is allowing me to host a more secure
ssh server installation. I have been following the list for a couple of
months and I have not seen many problems relating to ntsec. Most of t
Johan,
Try using the mkgroup and mkpassword utilities described in
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html.

Would it help if you used scp instead of sftp? The nature of sftp alows you
to browse directories while scp does not.

Derek,
I did not have a file permissions problem relating to chmod. The chmod
command has always worked fine for me. The problem I had related to file
permissions in the CVS repository. I have not upgraded to cygwin 1.5.5,
however. Have you tried using the getfacl and setfacl commands? Does a
Andrew,
You are reading too much into the README. The point of the note is that the
account that runs ssh must be capable of switching user accounts without a
password. This requires the Windows permissions of

Andrew,
I have a home directory with a space in it. The space appears in the
directory name as well as in the entry in passwd. There is no problem
supporting that in Cygwin. I had to create my home directories manually so
you might want to try doing the same thing.
