The compiler gave me a warning because the function prototype expected a DWORD value which by definition cannot be negative. So it's obviously a (minor) bug in cygwin's header files, which I thought the cygwin folks might be interested in to fix. They just happen to be used in Cygwin and just happen to be CVSed in the winsup/w32api directory, but the MinGW team maintain them. Looking at Microsoft's header files and making changes to w32api is not allowed. Technically, I didn't do it that way. I just mentioned that to avoid discussions like that one, since cygwin's headers shouldn't differ from Microsoft's headers regarding the value of numeric constants. Such differences help provide defense to copyright enfringement claims. You'll have to find the MSDN documentation and provide the references. There are no references in MSDN that show the numeric value of that constant - at least I can't find any. So I wonder how (-1) got there in the first place. Then, your patch can't be accepted.

security.cc and sec_acl.cc (ntsec, inheritance and sec_acl)
Corinna,
Here are the changes to security.cc and sec_acl.cc to use
well_known_creator_xxx_sid.
They seem to work fine on NT4.
There is peculiar effect: if a directory was created e.g. 427 by
a ntsec user with uid != gid and a file is created in the directory by
a Windows user with gid == uid, the file will inherit permissions 447.
I have a question: there is code in setacl (new line 139) to merge non-default
ACE's with previous default ACEs.
As the acl was sorted, I don't see how that code can ever be exercised.
Should we try to merge default ACEs with non-default ones? I am not sure it's
worth it.
Pierre
2002/12/16 Pierre Humblet [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* security.cc (alloc_sd): Change inheritance rules: on new directories add
inherit only ACEs for creator_owner, creator_group and everyone. Preserve
all inheritances through chmod and chown calls. Modify implementation of
uid == gid case by introducing isownergroup, to simplify inheritance code.
Do not initialize owner_sid and group_sid and stop using psd.
* sec_acl.cc (search_ace): Make id == -1, instead of 0, special.
(setacl): Use well_known_creator for default owner and group.
(getacl): Recognize well_known_creator for default owner and group.
(acl_worker): Improve errno settings and streamline nontsec case.

True. I hadn't been considering the error case.
I've attached a patch for this. It's not terribly pretty.
I wonder if there is some other way to do this other than pulling
everything out of the read ahead buffer and then putting it back on
failure. I guess it doesn't matter since this is an edge condition.
There's some things that could be done such as moving the get_readahead
later, but I agree, no point in adding complexity for this case.
Hmm. I wonder if the WaitForSingleObject (input_mutex,...) is enough to
make this code thread safe.
I think so, but it may be more protection than you need. OTOH, the
readahead buffer could probably use some more protection on the filling
side.

IMHO, mail lists are mail lists and if you wish to follow the action then you participate. You state that many people aren't subscribed to the list. As you (and I) do not know how many people are not subscribed vs. how many people are subscribed it's fair to say that many people are subscribed to the list to and do not need additional email.

The message that started this discussion used the default behavior of pine (reply to author, cc to list - I hit reply, write the message, and press send), whereas for this message I actually had to explicitly remove your name from the To: line and move the cygwin list from Cc: to To:. I'm only doing this to prove the point now, and will most probably not do so in the future. Otherwise I will simply set up a filter to ignore all email from you :-) ! This is certainly your choice. Again, I don't appreciate getting email that's a copy of what I'll be reading on the list shortly anyway. As I mentioned before, the standard way to deal with this (on any mailing list) is to use a Reply-To header. Since your method for reading and posting to this list is non-standard (namely, the gmane newsgroup) and incompatible with Reply-To, you would need to seek alternate solutions. Perhaps someone else using gmane to access mailing lists can be of help. Igor P.S. Also note that, even with your current setup, you can get a double copy only if someone replies to a message that you posted. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

gawk : Input file remaining locked after program termination
Hi,
I have a gawk program that parses a file and spawns (as needed) an external
(non-gawk) program through the 'system(...)' built-in function. If the
external program remains active after gawk's termination, the file that was
used as the input to gawk remains locked and can not be modified.
Here is a code snippet the reproduces the issue :
(Put both files in a dir. where you have a few .txt files)
File foo.sh :
-
ls *.txt foobar
gawk -f bar.awk foobar foobar.tmp
mv foobar.tmp foobar
File bar.awk :
---
{
print $1 OK;
system(notepad $1 );
}
Running foo.sh produced the following output :
mv: cannot create regular file `foobar': Permission denied
And, as a side-effect, the 'foobar' file is deleted.
Would someone know whether this is a gawk issue ? a cygwin issue ? a port of
gawk to cygwin issue ? or my missing something ?
As a side note, I tried to change the system call to
system (nohup $1 /dev/null )
but to no avail.
Thanks in advance for your help.

ntsec Question
I have a user who wants to be able to use ssh without inputted a password. I have installed and got this running successfully. However, now there is a problem with security as anybody who logs into his laptop/desktop would be able to login to numerous UNIX servers without inputting a password.

My question to you is when they login to cygwin I want to be able to get them to input their NT username and password to allow them in. Looking at the shortcut it runs D:\Cygwin\cygwin.bat and lets them straight into the users home directory.

The hung process (sed) is actually not hung, but connected to stdin instead of file. The root cause is that when config.status is processed by bash, then sometimes `` construct forgets all output, causing different generated file names to be empty, thus connecting sed to stdin instead of some file. Following command line reproduces the bug for me: while true; do test `echo foo` = foo || echo failed; done When this command is run inside bash, then failed lines appear quite regularly. The bug is reproducible only with /bin/bash, /bin/sh works reliably. I meant to test the above before I made some more changes to cygwin to attempt to avoid data loss but I didn't get around to it. So, there is a snapshot up there which may or may not solve the problem. The above command doesn't die for me now, so I guess that's something. I'll check the prevous snapshot tomorrow to see if it actually fails for me. I've been a little sick for a couple of weeks now and attempting to stay with my work on real job in the day and cygwin at night scenario is not working too well. In the meantime, please try the current snapshot. It is probably slightly (but possibly unoticeably) slower but it should be very much less likely to lose data in a pipe. The latest snapshot also has some new inline assembly functions courtesy of some cygwin-developers (Gary R. Van Sickle and Thomas Pfaff) which might cause a little bit of a boost, too. Nevermind. I just tried the current snapshot on my NT4 machien and it puked all over the place. I'll fix it tomorrow. Please avoid this snapshot until then. This should be fixed now. Please try the latest snapshot. Corinna also tracked down some thinkos in my handling of text mode reads which are fixed in this snapshot.

RE: ntsec Question
I think your confusion here comes from thinking that Cygwin controls the user login. Windows handles the login process. To change which user is logged in you will need to either log off windows then log the new user on, or use ssh Running cygwin.bat does not do anything than start an interactive bash shell in the logged on users home directory, it does not call login or perform any checking of the user beyond looking at the output of `id -un` and changing your working directory to your home directory (well actualy /etc/profile does that but lets not confuse things ;) All security is handled by windows. If you set a mode of say 700 froma bash/tcsh/ksh prompt, its no different than going into windows security settings for that file from explorer and telling it to only allow your (or a selected user) access. In summary you effectively log on to cygwin, when you log on to windows. Loging in by cygwin ssh/rsh/telnet is equivalent to logging on to windows. starting a shell via cygwin.bat or any variation (shortcut to bash --login -i, rxvt -e bash --login -i, etc etc) is not loging in to cygwin. blimey thats the longest email i've written in weeks. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 December 2002 15:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ntsec Question I have a user who wants to be able to use ssh without inputted a password.

Re: Problems downloading and installing the basic package

[CDROM installation part snipped]
This is discouraged, although im not quite sure why, but it can be a
pain if you need to un-install. About the cygdrive prefix this is just
default and you can change where and how you access your windows drives
by using the `mount' command. For example typeing this at the bash
shell you can mount your C: drive as /sys:
$ mkdir /sys
$ mount -s C:\\ /sys
OK, suppose I installed Cygwin in D:\cygwin. Can I somehow make D:\ the
root directory?
The root directory is usually the one you installed Cygwin into. You
could probably play games with mounts, making D:\ your /, and mounting
D:\cygwin\{bin|lib|usr|etc|something else I may have forgotten} under
/{bin|lib|usr|etc|et al}, but it might not be worth the trouble, and if
you keep any perl scripts in those directories, you'd still not see the
correct paths in ActivePerl.
Not quite sure what the problem you've got with ActivePerl so you'll
need to give the people on the list an insight.
The problem is this: suppose I have a Perl script in a directory somewhere,
and that directory is in my search path. If I just type the name of the
script, the shell will find it, read the shebang line, and try to pass the
script to Perl. When it does that it gives Perl the full path to the file,
which in Cygwin parlance starts with /cygdrive/... Active Perl, being a
Windows application, doesn't understand that and says that it can't open
the file. I have asked about this before, but no one could suggest
anything other than installing Cygwin in the root directory of a drive.
Why not use Cygwin perl? Cygwin comes with a perfectly nice perl 5.8,
which works at least as well as ActiveState's perl. You could even
associate Cygwin's perl with .pl files in Explorer, to completely replace
ActivePerl.
Igor

Dmitry

RE: ntsec Question
This summary sounds good to me and should go a long way towards helping Elaine sort out the issues here. I would like to point out as well that it seems the system in question is apparently not current in terms of Cygwin software as well (or at least the password file is not). I'd recommend rerunning setup and updating the system in question. Before doing so, remove /etc/passwd and /etc/group to make sure these files get regenerated and with the correct (i.e. current) format. Larry Original Message: - From: Vince Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 16:03:41 - To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ntsec Question I think your confusion here comes from thinking that Cygwin controls the user login. Windows handles the login process. To change which user is logged in you will need to either log off windows then log the new user on, or use ssh Running cygwin.bat does not do anything than start an interactive bash shell in the logged on users home directory, it does not call login or perform any checking of the user beyond looking at the output of `id -un` and changing your working directory to your home directory (well actualy /etc/profile does that but lets not confuse things ;) All security is handled by windows. If you set a mode of say 700 froma bash/tcsh/ksh prompt, its no different than going into windows security settings for that file from explorer and telling it to only allow your (or a selected user) access. In summary you effectively log on to cygwin, when you log on to windows. Loging in by cygwin ssh/rsh/telnet is equivalent to logging on to windows. starting a shell via cygwin.bat or any variation (shortcut to bash --login -i, rxvt -e bash --login -i, etc etc) is not loging in to cygwin. blimey thats the longest email i've written in weeks. :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 December 2002 15:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ntsec Question I have a user who wants to be able to use ssh without inputted a password.

Re: gawk : Input file remaining locked after program termination

Subject: gawk : Input file remaining locked after program termination
Hi,
I have a gawk program that parses a file and spawns (as needed) an
external
(non-gawk) program through the 'system(...)' built-in function. If the
external program remains active after gawk's termination, the file
that was
used as the input to gawk remains locked and can not be modified.
Here is a code snippet the reproduces the issue :
(Put both files in a dir. where you have a few .txt files)
File foo.sh :
-
ls *.txt foobar
gawk -f bar.awk foobar foobar.tmp
mv foobar.tmp foobar
File bar.awk :
---
{
print $1 OK;
system(notepad $1 );
This will attempt to spawn a copy of notepad for every line in the file
foobar in background and then returns the command's status. In other
words gawk will not wait for the notepad command to complete before
moving to the next line in foobar and next instance of a notepad
process.
So there could be a number of incomplete notepad instances running, one
of which is trying to access foobar.tmp when the mv command is being
executed. This may be causing the effect that you describe.
This did not happen when I tried your exact commands on my system.
}
Running foo.sh produced the following output :
mv: cannot create regular file `foobar': Permission denied
This did not happen when I tried your exact commands on my system.
And, as a side-effect, the 'foobar' file is deleted.
This did not happen when I tried your exact commands on my system.
Would someone know whether this is a gawk issue ? a cygwin issue ? a
port of
gawk to cygwin issue ? or my missing something ?
I don't think that this is a gawk issue - it may be your set up.
Which version of Cygwin are you using?
As a side note, I tried to change the system call to
system (nohup $1 /dev/null )
but to no avail.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Lionel
A few comments re: your gawk program. This will fail if any of the
files have spaces in their names, because you are using $1 as the
name of the file to pass to notepad. It would be more sensible to
use $0 and to quote it when passing it to notepad, i.e.:
system (notepad \ $0\ )
Oh, and awk isn't perl, so you don't need to end lines with ;

This is a trick question, right? I mean, you know how to search for a
prototype in the system include directories don't you? I'm assuming
that you have a real question here but I can't figure out what it is.
Can you enlighten us/me?
BTW, the answer to Joe's question that you reference above is No,
setupterm() is not supposed to be part of libc (libcygwin.a).

May not have been the right thing to do but got past that
problem. Now I got a `undefined reference to `_WinMain@16''
error, probably because I dont have libsup++ installed
though.
I don't have libsupc++. I'm using the latest gcc2.
I think the right fix was to make the /usr/include/term.h
symlink, which for some reason:
1- Isn't in ncurses 5.2-8
or
2- Is removed when you uninstall libtermcap

Actually I think you and Larry are right. What would happen if
I had /usr/include/termcap.h from libtermcap and not ncurses ?
I don't think LFTP or anything should mix headers.
I have the same setup on Linux. No libtermcap (it's a symlink
to libncurses), though I made the /usr/include/termcap.h
symlink. It's probably right to have the symlink if libtermcap
isn't installed.

Btw, I just checked and uninstalling the termcap package (assuming this is what you mean) does not install /usr/include/term.h.

Upgrading Less (I think) breaks BitKeeper?
Hi all!! I've just done my weekly update cygwin and associated thingies routine. Today I had a fairly hefty go: less-378 cpio-2.5-1 patch-2.5.8-2 groff-1.18.1-1 gcc-mingw-20020817-3 gdb-20021215-1 and after updating, I set to changing my web site, and when I issued a simple bk citool (to check in changes), I get this popup: Couldn' t load library H:/cygwin/lib/reg1.0/tclreg83.dll This library or a dependent library could not be found in library path while executing load H:/cygwin/lib/reg1.0/tclreg83.dll registry (package ifneeded script) invoked from within package require registry (procedure getConfig line 131) invoked from within getConfig ci (procedure citool line 4) invoked from within citool (file h:/archiv~/bitkee~1/citool line 4063) Am I the only one seeing this? Is there a way to solve it? Or, alternatively, what changes should I undo (ie, packages to get to previous version) to get bk working again?? (also, installing the latest Bitkeeper Package didn't help, either) Thanks a lot for all and any pointers.. Javier -- «Work like you don't need the money. Dance like nobody's watching.

Should cygwin/ncurses do the same? The QNX proprietary term_* functions have been deprecated in favor of ncurses. ncurses is a set of terminal-independent routines for painting screens and handling input events.. .The file /usr/include/term.h is now an ncurses header file; you'll find the old term.h in /usr/include/sys/term.h. An error message is displayed if you combine the old term_* and ncurses header files. Since the code clearly checks for the situation of finding the needed headers in /usr/include/ncurses, I don't see any reason why this package should be used as a justification for adding a symlink. Btw, I put the below __CYGWIN__ mention in because it still complained even when when it was passed the sufficient defines in CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS before running configure. Usually when I see things like HAVE_NCURSES_CURSES_H, it suggests to me that the author of the source code is correctly attempting to set things up in a general, non-system-specific way and is testing for various capabilities and oddities of the operating environment. System-specific checks like #ifdef ultrix in source quickly become unmanageable. That's why HAVE_NCURSES_CURSES_H is nice. There's no reason why it couldn't work in this scenario. Of course, if it complained maybe all you need to do is rebuke it sternly. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I had to make the symlink (I thought it'd be in ncurses) and
run configure again, since just typing make isn't enough.
I can't reproduce the other problem reported by George Lefter.
I configured with --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-nls
--disable-static
I'm C'cing lftp-devel so that others know the answer in case
they have the same problem.
BTW, the answer to Joe's question that you reference above is
No, setupterm() is not supposed to be part of libc
(libcygwin.a).

Actually sounds to me like this a configuration issue for LFTP.
I don't think a change to ncurses should be necessary to make
LFTP build. It seems to me that this would be a problem on
other platforms using ncurses as well if that were the case.
I can't reproduce the other problem reported by George Lefter.

Re: is inetd telnet slowness fixed?
I had the same problem some time ago and I found that it was caused by FTP Software's InterDrive 5.0 (a NFS client). Uninstalling that product all worked flawlessly. I think that, in general, a problem like that can be caused by network drivers (possibly virtual ones) that causes broadcast or other lengthy network iterations to be performed when someone tries to access the network. The same software causes a similar problem with Rational Rose (10 minutes to load a simple model with InterDrive, 1 minute without Interdrive).

With inetd running, telnet starts, then hangs for about 3 minutes, finaly ginving me a Login: prompt. I assume that Inetd didn't pass usable machine/user information to the in.telnetd, and that the delay and eventual login: prompt is in.telnetd timing out waiting for login information, but I could be wrong about this.

CMake 1.4.7-1
CMake 1.4.7-1 is now available on Cygwin mirrors. CMake is a cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation.
