[ITP] lftp

2003-08-23 Thread Mark Blackburn
As per cgf's suggestion, I intend to maintain lftp.

lftp is a command line ftp client which bears some resemblence to ncftp. 
It has readline support, tab-completion, command history. Additionally 
it supports fish, the protocol used by sftp.

Gets my vote too.  A minor packaging issue: is /etc/lftp.conf intended to
be customized?  If so, it'll now be overwritten on every upgrade, and you
should use a postinstall script to put it in place instead.  If not, you
should mention that fact in the Cygwin-specific README in big friendly
letters (although it would be better to allow system-wide customization).

Igor,

That directory holds the various shared protocol modules which are 
dlopened as needed, should you build lftp that way.  In other words, it 
serves the same purpose as /usr/lib/apache does for httpd.  However, I'm 
assuming he built the lftp protocol modules static, thus leaving the 
module dir empty.

As a side note, it is possible to build lftp on Cygwin with shared 
protocol modules (I've done so myself).  However, it requires a lot of 
ugly hacking to the autotool stuff.  If the maintainer is interested, I 
can send him my modifications.

Cheers,
Nicholas

Re: Xcdroast

2003-08-23 Thread Sylvain Petreolle
Camron, are you still trying to make xcdroast work ? Seems you made it
compile since you know about the root config issue :)
It seems the only way we have for now is to generate a root
configration file on another OS which has root user.

Note: does 'make install' work for you ? It always says me nothing to
be done' and nothing is installed, I had to make symbolic links to the
binaries.

If you have not already done it, I will submit a report to the author.
Since the both parts of the tool compile without problem, we are so
close.

 Questions related to getting cdrecord etc to 
 compile etc could be directed to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list (since it
 is not a X application), but make sure you have done your homework
first.

Not this one :) Compiling xcdroast was easy as 'make ; make install'.
Now our goal is to make it work. Thanks for the help.

What exactly is the root configuration issue?  If all that's needed is a
user named root with sufficient privileges (say, user context
switching), simply copy the entry for the SYSTEM user in your /etc/passwd
and change the user name to root, e.g.

root:*:0:18:,S-1-5-18:/root:/bin/bash
SYSTEM:*:18:18:Local System,S-1-5-18::

As you can see, you can also change the UID of root to 0.

If it's some other issue, sharing the exact details would be helpful.

 Igor,

 This may be a NUG question, but how do you su - root?  I'm
 running XP Pro, so my account (cwfox) is the administrator and I have no
 idea what the password for root would be.

 Best Regards,
 Camron

Camron,

Well, Cygwin doesn't have a working su, but you can accomplish the same
goal by setting up sshd and allowing passwordless login as SYSTEM from
your account.  You can then do ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED].

However, there's still a question of *why* you need to su root.  What
capabilities of root do you need?  If you need the ability to switch
user contexts, then SYSTEM as root should be fine.  If you need to
create files owned by root, then you can make the Administrators group
root and simply use chown.

RE: Xcdroast

2003-08-23 Thread Igor Pechtchanski
Sylvain,

You can set up public key authentication for SYSTEM from individual
accounts, which would make it no less secure than password-based
authentication.  The SYSTEM user can always switch to any other one
without a password.  But this is irrelevant in this case, for two reasons:

1) If you want xcdroast to switch the user context to that of a normal
user, you could try running it as a service using cygrunsrv.  Services run
as SYSTEM by default.

2) It's my guess that on Linux only root has access to various low-level
drivers needed to burn CDs.  I doubt that Windows has this particular
restriction (it might require administrative privileges, though).  It's
very likely that the xcdroast code simply checks whether it's running as
root (uid 0) and fails to run otherwise.  In this case, you could remove
the check altogether, or change it to something more Cygwin-friendly (see,
for example, the Cygwin-specific patches to inetd and proftpd, to name a
few).

Hope this helps,
Igor

 I have the same setup and dont think that allowing SYSTEM access as

 The reason why we need a su root is because xcdroast must be run as
 root first to enable the ability to run it as as normal user.

 Anyway, I think this can be done via getting it from a linux box and
 doing a chown on it. Will try it and post the result.

of Kin or relative to the
deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but
unfortunately we learnt that his supposed

don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills.

The Banking law and guide line here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after seven years, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in
thisbusiness is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and
an indigene cannot stand as nextof kin to the deceased family.

We agreed that 20% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a
foreign account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this
transaction and 75 % would be for me and my colleagues.

Ther eafter,I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages
indicated.Therefore, to enhance the immediate transfer of thisfund to you as

Re: 1.5 is coming... please test away!

2003-08-23 Thread Sven Köhler
So, the request is to test 1.5.x, and we're getting setup.exe bug
reports.
So what do you expect? To test it, people must install it. If that 
doesn't work, forget the test.

Re: auto tab complete (fwd)

2003-08-23 Thread andrew brian clegg


Who do we report defunct list subscribers to? For example I got the
automated response below in reply to a recent post.

I looked for a list maintainer address on the website but could only find
the automated subscribe/unsubscribe mechanisms.

Sorry for posting an essentially content-free message...

Thanks,

Andrew.

Which raises the obvious question of whether someone wants to be a

I'll volunteer for maintaining lftp.  I'll send an email to
cygwin-apps.

Hey, cool!  Thanks.

Igor, can we get a gold star over here?

I expected that the experience would be the same as the other N people
(like me) who installed the test release with no problem.

Allow me to express my frustration that even a simple thing like try
the test release cannot go smoothly here in cygwin land.

Re: postgres help

2003-08-23 Thread Jonathan Simms
Hey, i just went through this myself.

When you start the service make sure you give the argument -i, it'll turn
on TCP/IP networking.

next set the environment variables:

PGDATA= /path/to/data/folder/
PGDATABASE = your_dbname
PGHOST = localhost
PGPASSWORD = password
PGPORT = 5432
PGUSER = username

that worked for me.

Also, I know this may be a security-related Bad Thing (which wasn't much of
an issue for me), it seemed to work a lot smoother skipping over the
postgres user setup and just running the service under my username. Just
make sure you're an Administrator, and under start  run  secpol.msc  Log
on as a service your username is listed.

oh, and for some weird reason (i know it's gonna sound stupid), but I had to
reboot after install for it to work. I sat there for an hour trying to
troubleshoot it, got fed up, rebooted, and it worked itself out...

Anyway, hope this is of some assistance...

Subject: postgres help


 I've gone through all the steps to set up postgreSQL on windows XP.  I
 have updated permissions (to /tmp /usr/bin /usr/bin/*), verified the
 system path variable, and verified that ipc and postmaster services have
 been started.  I don't understand why I'm getting the following error:

 $ psql -U postgres template1
 psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
  Is the server running locally and accepting
  connections on Unix domain socket /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432?

 The error does not change if I log in as myself or as postgres.
 Any hints as to what to try would be greatly appreciated.

snapshot, what a happy sound (fixes a couple of problems - 1.5.3 soon)

Tonight's snapshot is nearly 1.5.3-ready.

I'd appreciate it if people would test the snapshot and report failures
or successes here.

Using this snapshot, sshd still eats up all CPU time when running a
remote session.

That would be fixed if I could generate a new snapshot but newlib breakage
makes that impossible.  Sigh.  I guess this means that I won't be releasing
a 1.5.3 soon after all.

I've fixed the newlib breakage and built a new snapshot.  I don't detect
any excessive CPU consumption now.

This snapshot also has fixes for the overlapping buffer problem in
malloc/mmap.  Thanks to Corinna for tracking this down.  It obviously
wasn't an easy task.  For the technically minded, this turns out to be a
longstanding problem in cygwin's sbrk implementation.

Please try it.  1.5.3 is nigh.
