Re: Multi-window problems on remote clients
To repeat what I said in previous postings... THIS CAUSES THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED --- C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -multiwindow -nowinkill -once -broadcast -- THIS CAUSES IT TO WORK OK- C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -multiwindow -nowinkill -once -broadcast -clipboard -- Conclusion: the problem has something to do with clipboard functionality, and the log seems to bear this out. Okay, now send us either the command line that you use to start XWin.exe or your startxwin.bat (or whatever script file you are using). It looks like you are doing something to disable the access method that the multi window window manager is using to communicate with the X Server.

Keith and Igor, thanks for this thread http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-02/msg00288.html. The reasoning is still beyond my ken, mostly because I haven't yet digested the right set of man pages. Nonetheless, it solved my problem, as described in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-02/msg00262.html, which was my just dessert for wielding Cygwin setup.exe so freely. (I'm not on the cygwin-xfree list anymore, hence the links instead of a simpler 'reply'.) Incidentally, should I be seeing Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. when using ssh and X-forwarding (now with ForwardX11Trusted = yes)? It looks like I have cookies in the right place. xauth report the same ones on both the local and remote machine. Though, I have gnawing concerns about the host part of the display name in those cookies; the (alphabetic) cases do not match. Hum. I should try to share cookies again (xauth extract, scp, xauth merge). Ultimately, the above message is only unaesthetic; I haven't noticed that it impacts performance.

The Multi-Window Window Manager is, as the name implies, a window manager; logging into a remote machine via Xdmcp (using the -broadcast, -query, or -indirect command-line parameters) causes the remote machine to start a window manager. You can only have one window manager at a time for a given display and screen. In addition, you are seeing strange behavior when using -clipboard because -clipboard enables some code that allows clients on your local X machine to connect to the X Server when you are using Xdmcp. Oddly enough, Xdmcp usually disables access for clients local to the X Server and it requires that all X clients know a certain magic cookie in order to be able to connect. The clipboard code adds an internal magic cookie that allows the clipboard client to connect; it looks like a side-effect of this is that the window manager is also able to connect sometimes. You bring up another interesting point that I have not specifically tested: whether -clipboard works with -broadcast. I know that the clipboard manager generally works with -query for Xdmcp, but there is a slight possibility that it would not work with -broadcast. However, I suspect that your problems with the clipboard support will go away when you remove the -multiwindow parameter. I think I will add some checks to the server now that cause the -multiwindow flag to be overridden if -query, -broadcast, or -indirect is specified. Harold

Hello, Wow, I actually get an opprotunity to contribute! I use Xdmcp with -multiwindow and it works fine. You just need to use the Xnest client/server to provide a 'window' for the remote machine.

Jim, Heh heh... while this is true, it is a less than ideal way to do things. In fact, you can do this with XWin.exe just fine: REM Start a local server with multi-window on display 0 XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard REM Start an Xdmcp session on display 1 XWin :1 -query host -clipboard -nodecoration -lesspointer That gives you two independent instances of XWin and it doesn't use Xnest, which will improve performance and the behavior of the Xdmcp session (Xnest is known to have a few quirks where things don't work quite right, such as the screen sometimes blanking then redrawing). Let me know if that fits your needs. I should probably add a few examples of how Xdmcp can be used to the User's Guide and this is one that I would add if it is useful. Harold

Until openssh 3.8 all clients forwarded by ssh were trusted by default. Now they are untrusted by default. Wow, good thing I haven't commented on this yet. I upgraded to OpenSSH 3.8 when it came out and since then have noticed that all of my ssh connections (even those done by cvs) were enabling X11 forwarding by default. I thought this was interesting, particularly since it wasn't mentioned in the release notes. I was just about to describe how this change was made in OpenSSH 3.8 and how I am really smart because I am the only one that noticed it... then I realized: 1) My ssh_config is modified to enable X11Forwarding (I don't have to use -X, but I always do because I had forgotten that I changed this default). 2) I had installed SFU 3.5 at about the same time that I upgraded to OpenSSH 3.8. Turns out that SFU 3.5 adds DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 to the global environment variables. The combination of these two meant that ssh was acting as if it was getting passed a -X and it had a valid DISPLAY value at all times, so it was enabling X11 forwarding at all times. I was wondering if this change in behavior meant that our multi-window window manager would be unable to connect to the server when an ssh session had been opened on the local machine already. I did some testing but was not able to cause this to happen. In any case, my great ideas for what was causing this problem are useless :) Harold

I did some testing but was not able to cause this to happen. In any case, my great ideas for what was causing this problem are useless :) More explanation i got from http://www.xfree86.org/~herrb/security.pdf Any normal xclient connects in trusted mode. But openssh now connects in untrusted mode. This is for security reasons. I'll describe later why I think it's useless. In untrusted mode some calls (esp. GetProperty and SetProperty) will fail. This can be configured in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy. quote source=SecurityPolicy # Allow reading of application resources, but not writing. property RESOURCE_MANAGER rootar iw property SCREEN_RESOURCES rootar iw # Ignore attempts to use cut buffers. Giving errors causes apps to crash, # and allowing access may give away too much information. property CUT_BUFFER0rootirw property CUT_BUFFER1rootirw /quote The CUT_BUFFER entries may explain why the problems with copypaste started. One way to solve the new problems is to modify the SecurityPolicy and distribute it with the xserver. But this is complicated because a) we have to figure out all properties which are safe to export b) we may get responsible and sued for any security problem we create with these changes. The other way is to enable X11ForwardTrusted by default. But again it is (in my opinion) dangerous to explicitly disable a security method. But anyway. I think the change to untrusted clients is very shortminded. Most users will get annoyed with not working software and skip the whole X11Forwarding issue and use xhost + again. This is a severe loss of security. If a lot of software requires access to properties which are blocked in untrusted mode then most people will enable the switch. Only a few will ever want the clients to connect in untrusted mode. bye ago NP: grauzone.04-02-15 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

RE: Avail for test: zip-2.3-6 + encryption code
Regarding if you're stupid enough to specify an encryption password on a command line: It's worse than that. I use Cygwin to process database dump into HTML files, which are, in some cases, then distributed in a zip file attached to an email. On occasions the email antivirus decides that the zip file contents contained a virus and deletes the zip file. I asked our help desk what I should do. They said that if I encrypt the zip file and put the password in the body the antivirus would not be able to see inside the zip file but the recipient would be able to unzip it. No need to look at the process database. I usually wait for packages to be moved out of test before installing them, but since I got this entire encryption mess started, I've downloaded the test version and will give it a try.

Pb with permissions on crontab
Hi,
I'am playing with cron, and I have the following problem : I want to
modify the crontab through a service (a cgi in an apache server in
fact). This service belongs to the user SYSTEM, so I used crontab -u
Administrator file to set the Administrator's crontab (in a perl cgi
script).
It works fine, the jobs are correctly executed, but the owner of
/var/cron/tabs/Administrator is now SYSTEM, and not Administrator. So
'crontab -l' in a shell fails with the following message :
tabs/Administrateur: Permission denied.
I tried to play with ACL of /var/cron/tabs/Administrator, but with no
luck (ie no way to keep owner).
In crontab.c, I find this :
#else /* __CYGWIN__ */
if (chown(tn, -1, ROOT_UID) OK)
#endif
tn is the temporary crontab, before to be renamed to the user's
crontab. If tn is created by SYSTEM, it belongs to SYSTEM, and the
user's crontab belongs then to SYSTEM.
I first try to force owner to pw-pw_uid, but the rename command then
shows me another problem : 'rw' permissions are not enought - even for
SYSTEM - to rename a file, there must be other ACL involved. So I end
up to force the final crontab to belong to SYSTEM if the euid id
SYSTEM, and the to re-change owner after the rename.
See the attached patch. It's probably not the best way to solve the
problem, but it works for me :-)
Tips : for those who wants to play with 'crontab -u' as user SYSTEM,
it's possible to have a SYSTEM shell using the windows 'at' command.
As Administrator, launch cmd.exe. Run At 16:07 /interactive cmd.exe
(of course choose the next minute of your local time). The cmd.exe
that is launched does have SYSTEM rights. Very useful. To kill
services, replace cmd.exe with taskmgr.exe. If you know another way to
get SYSTEM shell...

I use Cygwin to process database dump into HTML files, which are, in some cases, then distributed in a zip file attached to an email. On occasions the email antivirus decides that the zip file contents contained a virus and deletes the zip file. I asked our help desk what I should do. They said that if I encrypt the zip file and put the password in the body the antivirus would not be able to see inside the zip file but the recipient would be able to unzip it. No need to look at the process database. I usually wait for packages to be moved out of test before installing them, but since I got this entire encryption mess started, I've downloaded the test version and will give it a try.

That's all that is required, and that's what the output of the Package search page is telling you. The other posters were trying to point you in a direction so that you could figure that out for yourself so you wouldn't have to ask next time. Teach a man to fish and all that. As far as setup.exe is concerned, it should have installed this package for you. The setup.hint for the 'less' package includes the line: requires: cygwin termcap libpcre0 Which means that if you select 'less' then setup.exe should also select 'libpcre0' and 'termcap', unless you override it.

Disappearing Bash and __getreent procedure
Hi all, I recently did a fresh install of Cygwin and installed the default components plus those needed for openssh. When I tried initially to run Cygwin, a window appeared (looked like a dos prompt) then disappeared. Checking the path and trying to find someone on the web about this, I found nothing. So I tried replacing the newest release of the cygwin1.dll (ver 1005.7.0) with version 1005.4.0. At first that didn't work ... but after clicking the shortcut 20 times out of frustration, the bash shell appeared! Problem was ... bash couldn't find any of the files. Running ./[command] worked ... so I played around with the path until it worked. (Honestly, I don't know what I changed to make it work.) So I ran ssh-host-config and then tried to run cygrunsrv --start -sshd and I get an error box entitled, sshd.exe - Entry Point Not Found with the error, The procedure entry point __getreent could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll. When I looked that up, I saw that that was an error in older version of the dll (great.). Next try was to use the nightly snapshot of cygwin1.dll (1005.8.0 released 2/27/04). I get the same window dissapearing act as the first time. So I'm a bit stuck as to how to proceed. I just want openssh ... is that so hard? Thanks.

Well, considering what the root problem is, I wouldn't expect MS's rebase to work any better than the cygwin version. Understood. However, one of my design goals for rebase was to behave as similar to Microsoft's as possible. This became especially true when I replaced Microsoft's ReBaseImage() with the one from Ralf Habacker's libimagehelper. A worthy goal. However, I would like to see some cooperation on how to resolve it. See below for one possible solution... This problem is not specific to zsh. Understood. It has more to do with how exported symbols are treated/managed. Or built... Yes, yes... I'd almost propose that rebase change such symbols' value, being rebase is the one changing the image base of the dll in the first place. Do others agree? If so, does anyone know how hard it would be to enhance libimagehelper to handle this case? However, I would really like to understand why this symbol exists and if there is some way to eliminate it and use the dll's real image base instead. It appears that dllwrap *may* be the culprit. If I replace dllwrap with gcc -shared in your testscript, then the problem is avoided. See attached patch for the details. I was a bit curious about this. dllwrap is just a convenient wrapper around dlltool, which is supposed to be the tool of choice for creating dlls, yes? Or has 'gcc -shared' supplanted dlltool? And, ultimately, dlltool simply calls gcc with some different options. You can see this yourself by adding a '-v' option to the dllwrap command in testscript.sh. Here's a sample gcc line output by dllwrap/dlltool to create the dll: - gcc testdll.exp -Wl,--dll -nostartfiles -o testdll.dll -Wl,-e,[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Wl,--image-base,0x6378 -v -g testdll.o -lc - And what gcc does (because of the -v): - Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/specs Configured with: /netrel/src/gcc-3.3.1-2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,java --enable-libgcj --enable-threads=posix --with-system-zlib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-interpreter --enable-sjlj-exceptions --disable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-shared --build=i686-pc-linux --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-cygwin --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/nonexistent/include --libexecdir=/usr/sbin Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.1 (cygming special) /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/collect2.exe -Bdynamic --dll-search-prefix=cyg -o testdll.dll -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/../../.. testdll.exp --dll -e [EMAIL PROTECTED] --image-base 0x6378 testdll.o -lc -lgcc -lcygwin -luser32 -lkernel32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lgcc - So, what's the difference? Apparently, only the options supplied to the linker. I don't really understand, completely, the differences between '-shared' and '-Wl,--dll', but I suspect it has more to do with Windows compatability than anything else. '-shared' creates shared objects, while '--dll' creates dlls (like shared objects) which supposedly can interoperate with other compiler generated dlls (Visual C++, perhaps?). I'm not sure that this is an advantage, give that within the cygwin environment you can't really interoperate with Visual C++ generated dlls anyways, so perhaps it's better to simple create cygwin only compatable dlls instead. Can you use gcc -shared instead of dllwrap when you build zsh? After a bit of experimenting and a few rebuilds using different options, I've determined that using: gcc -shared -Wl,--export-all-symbols works best. There's apparently a subtle difference between this and using '-Wl,-dll', which causes a conflict with rebasing. Zsh uses global variables as well as exported functions, so using just 'gcc -shared' alone was insufficient (because the global vars weren't being exported). While the build process for zsh takes care to extract out exported functions and variables, there doesn't seem to be a convenient way to actually use that info in building the shared libraries themselves. One option is to explicitly mark for dllexport those globals which are needed by other parts of zsh, but that's tedious. I also toyed with hacking the makefiles to use the export list in the shared lib gen, but I didn't really want to customize the makefiles that much (it

can't achieve password-less ssh authentication when my home directory is on a network file server
Here's the scenario: I have Cygwin installed and the OpenSSH daemon running on a PC (let's call it 'Alpha') and I have an account in the Windows NT domain of which 'Alpha' is a member. I log onto 'Alpha' and all the other workstations in this domain with the same password. 'Alpha' can access its local disk (the usual 'c:') as well as a network drive (accessible at '//Filer/...'). I also have Cygwin installed on another PC (let's call it 'Beta') and I would like to achieve password-less 'ssh' access from 'Beta' to 'Alpha'. Both 'Alpha' and 'Beta' have 'rsa' public/private keys. I have no problem achieving my objective if 1) my home directory (as specified in 'Alpha:/etc/passwd') is '/home/john', and 2) 'Beta:/home/john/.ssh/known_hosts' includes the 'id_rsa.pub' file from 'Alpha:/home/john/.ssh', and 3) 'Alpha:/home/john/.ssh/authorized_keys2' includes the 'id_rsa.pub' file from 'Beta:/home/john/.ssh'. Note that for both 'Alpha' and 'Beta', '/' is the Cygwin mount point for 'c:/cygwin'. The only drawback to this procedure is that when I 'ssh' from 'Beta' to 'Alpha' this way, **I CAN'T ACCESS** any files on '//Filer'. Such access is critical for my application. On the other hand, if 1) my home directory (as specified in 'Alpha:/etc/passwd') is on the network file server at '//Filer/home/john', and 2) 'Beta:/home/john/.ssh/known_hosts' includes the 'id_rsa.pub' file from '//Filer/home/john/.ssh', and 3) '//Filer/home/john/.ssh/authorized_keys2' includes the 'id_rsa.pub' file from 'Beta:/home/john/.ssh', then **I DO HAVE ACCESS** to the files on '//Filer' as well as the local files on 'c:' (aka '/cygdrive/c'). The only problem is that, in this case, the 'ssh' authentication process asks me to enter my password each time. I don't understand why 'Alpha' and 'Beta' are interacting this way because various other Linux and UNIX clients configured similarly are able to achieve password-less access to 'Alpha' without any trouble. So my question is this: How do I modify the file(s) on 'Alpha' or on '//Filer' to obtain password-less access from 'Beta' to 'Alpha' when the password file on 'Alpha' says '//Filer/john' is my home directory? Any help would be appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, john Sorry, no can do[*]. This is the way Windows/Samba shares (and other authenticated mounts, e.g., DFS) works. To access the directory, you need a valid token with a password, otherwise the remote machine won't trust it. To find out that you allow passwordless authentication, you need to access the directory, which you can't without a password. FWIW, I ran into the same problem on AIX (with DFS). [*] I can think of a couple of things to try, but don't think either will work too well: - If you have control over the //Filer share, you might try to make the share public (i.e., accessible to anyone). I'd say that this cure is worse than the disease, though... - Create a local home directory (e.g. /home/john); mount the remote directory (//Filer) onto it; then mount c:\cygwin\home\john\.ssh onto /home/john/.ssh. In theory, this should allow you to keep a local (and therefore accessible without a password) copy of the .ssh directory, while the rest of your files are on the Samba share. The caveat, of course, is that you won't be able to access the remote .ssh directory, if there is one. Also, make sure the mounts are all system mounts, so sshd can pick them up. Please let us know if either works for you.

That's all that is required, and that's what the output of the Package search page is telling you. The other posters were trying to point you in a direction so that you could figure that out for yourself so you wouldn't have to ask next time. Teach a man to fish and all that. As far as setup.exe is concerned, it should have installed this package for you. The setup.hint for the 'less' package includes the line: requires: cygwin termcap libpcre0 Which means that if you select 'less' then setup.exe should also select 'libpcre0' and 'termcap', unless you override it. Can someone verify that this works, please? Brian I cleaned out my cygwin directory and did a clean install. Still no 'cygpcre-0.dll'.
