Seeking initial reactions: Moving setup from CVS to Subversion?
At some point in the medium-to-long-term future, I'd quite like to move the setup code from CVS to Subversion. Partly, that's because of all the little improvements subversion brings over cvs, but a notable concrete benefit subversion would bring is the ability to moves of files easily, without breaking up lines of history. This would be of great value, because setup would benefit from refactoring into one or more utility libraries, a core installation logic library, and one or more user interfaces - i.e. GUI and TUI. The ability to make subdirectories and move files into them, with ease, and without making it hard to access historical versions is key to making this feasible. If this is to proceed, I believe I'll need to contact the sourceware overseers and discuss whether there would be any obstacles to setting up subversion on sources.redhat.com . Right now, though, I'm just looking for initial reactions. I certainly wouldn't be proposing to start moving on this until after Subversion 1.1 is released, packaged for cygwin, and has had a little real world soak time - that would be about 2 months from now.

Windows XP SP2 - anybody tried it yet?
Good day, Microsoft is getting ready to push out SP2 via their automatic update. What experiences have people had with using cygwin applications with sp2 installed (particularly with the improved firewall)? Thanks, Charles
Re: Windows XP SP2 - anybody tried it yet?
Hi Charles, The latest I have heard on SP2 is that Microsoft is pushing it back a week or two because of concerns that some programs may not work at all after the installation. Microsoft has a list of about 50 to 200 programs that will be or potentially could be affected.Many corporations are going to do test runs on thier enterprise systems, like testing on smaller networks first, to ensure there will be no problems or if there are how to avoid or fix them. I plan on waiting a few months after the release before updating. My system works without using the built-in firewall of XP, I use Zone Alarm freeeware version.

Charles Plager wrote: Microsoft is getting ready to push out SP2 via their automatic update. What experiences have people had with using cygwin applications with sp2 installed (particularly with the improved firewall)? I've been running SP2 (final network admin install) for the last week. No problems with ordinary usage. I don't run any network daemons like FTPd or sshd, but even for them, the only thing you have to do is to open a firewall port (or allow the program to listen on any port - there are two ways to punch holes in the Windows firewall). Note that the default mode of the FTP client will cause one of these port use warnings to pop up from Windows, because in its regular mode (i.e. not PASV), when you GET a file using FTP, the client actually listens on a port, and the server tries to open connection to push the data. Again, all you have to when Windows pops up the program is trying to open port dialog, is to say OK once.

Subject: cygwin-perl: matching behaves weird
Now, this may be old news for many of you, but I'm new to cygwin, so please
don't shoot. I'd be happy if someone would post me a link to the solution.
I'm doing quite strightforward matching using regular expressions in perl
(as
you can see below) and the code used to work just fine on the ActiveState
perl,
but behaves very strange with cygwin Perl:
-
unless ($page =~ /a href=\#
onClick=window\.open\('(popBibTex.cfm\?.+?)',/s)
-
It simply does not match. I tried playing around, cuting certain suspicios
parts, and here is what I found out:
-
unless ($page =~ /on\Click=window\.open\('(popBibTex.cfm\?.+?)',/s)
-
this does match. (notice the \ before C)
What's up? (::confused;)
I'm runing Win_XP_Pro/SP2, just installed Cygwin (and all
tools/packages/modules that were available through the web install utility).

While there _should_ be no requirements, one has to be realistic and recognize this possibly beeing a setup - or postinstall - malfunction triggered by the nonstandard install location. That would be a bug. But since Fergus was asking whether Cygwin expected certain things in certain locations, the answer to that would be no. Of course, that's the intention. Nothing said about that. If it weren't no, then anyone installing Cygwin to a drive other than C: would see problems. The lack of email to this list on the matter is just one indication that Cygwin has no expectations of where things live. The lack of messages might just as well be an indication of the number of people actually trying this particular thing. SIDENOTE: I've seen situations where a person attempting something similar just gives up immediately, without any questions. Just the comment Crap! I don't wanna bother more with it!. No help requested even though there are several people knowledgable enough standing within arms reach. I've seen it not just once - and I must admit; I've done the same myself! (Download free/shareware/whatever software; installation doesn't work - scrap it, try another similarily promising package) The code itself would be another. Hmm... I don't get this; is it a back reference to the bug-thing above? ;-) Ahh, I *understand* this! ;-) If a postinstall script is making some such assumptions, I'd expect we would've heard quite a bit about that here too (or at cygwin-apps). Not all malfunctions/mishaps get reported - a report requires some time and effort to put through; not to mention - the WJM attitude, at display relatively often, plays part in this. Many people won't stand up against it. It is desirable to have *good* problem reports, but when you request higher quality you also filter away some. It is a dilemma. FYI: My current employment is all about customer support; *I* _must_ handle those imprecise and badly phrased problem reports too; eventually the real problem gets revealed through the linguistic mist.

RE: Backticks hang with dynamic antivirus scanning
You could try replacing all of your `command` syntax with $(command). AFAIK, this was introduced with ksh way way back. The back tick support was kept for compatibility with older bourne shell scripts. But at that time ATT were recommending $() syntax, though they also recommended that root should use /bin/sh not /bin/ksh, go figure. Anyway the replacement should work for scripts that you are developing. If you have a large number of existing scripts maybe something like sed -e s/`.*`/$()/g (this might require a lot of excapes to work, YMMV) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of geneSmith Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 10:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Backticks hang with dynamic antivirus scanning Marco Moreno wrote, On 2/20/2004 11:46 PM: I recently upgraded cygwin to the latest version and now I'm having Command's dynamic antivirus protection conflict with Cygwin so that it hangs whenever it encounters backticks in a shell script (e.g. /etc/profile).

read command available?
A careful reading of the info file for ksh reveals the following near the bottom ... -- BTW, the most frequently reported bug is echo hi | read a; echo $a # Does not print hi I'm aware of this and there is no need to report it. --- I think this is related to what was observed.

strange login behavior
I am experiencing some strange login behavior. First, some bachground on my situation. I prefer the putty terminal over the MS cmd window that cygwin.bat uses. So I use putty and ssh into my cygwin account. Two problems. One, when I ssh into my acct I'm not getting the latest PATH entries I've entered via Windows. I'll show some of my .bashrc: JAVA_HOME=~/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04 ANT_HOME=~/java/apache-ant-1.6.1 CATALINA_HOME=~/java/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25 MYSQL_HOME=~/mysql PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/vim/vim61:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$CATALINA_HOME/bin:$MYSQL_HOME/bin When I echo my PATH via a MS cmd window I get: H:\echo %PATH% C:\java\Sun\AppServer\BIN;C:\java\apache-ant-1.6.1\BIN;c:\mysql\bin;C:\java\j2sd k1.4.2_04\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\PROGRA~ 1\CA\SHARED~1\SCANEN~1;C:\PROGRA~1\CA\ETRUST~1; So I would expect that Sun\AppServer entry to show up in my Putty/Cygwin window. Any ideas on this? Second issue (this might should be a seperate email) is related to the Cygwin shortcut that runs the cygwin.bat. For some reason my .bash_profile/.bashrc aren't getting excuted. And even worse my $HOME is very different. In the MS cmd window (via cygwin shortcut) I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [/home/erikweibust] $ cd [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ pwd /cygdrive/c/java/source [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ echo $HOME /cygdrive/c/java/source And then in the putty window I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ cd [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ pwd /home/erikweibust [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ echo $HOME /home/erikweibust [EMAIL PROTECTED] [~] $ Anybody have any ideas?

upgrading openssh 3.8.1p1-1 - 3.9p1-1 breaks privilege separation
I've verified on two machines running XP Pro with up-to-date Cygwin installations that upgrading from openssh 3.8.1p1-1 to openssh 3.9p1-1 breaks sshd when running with privilege separation (the default). Clients (including ssh localhost) can not log into the Cygwin sshd. Either turning off privilege separation in /etc/sshd_config or downgrading and rebooting resolves the problem. I have no further insight into this problem; I mainly want just to report it.

RE: cygwin-perl: matching behaves weird
Good guess, but the original RE didn't support any variations of
whitespace, so it wouldn't have matched a multi-line string anyway...
However, if the OP didn't provide the exact RE he used, he could try
setting PERLIO=crlf in his environment and see if that helps.
One thing that he may also be missing is that the '/s' flag will retain
all the characters, even though it runs the RE over one string, so that
string may (and usually will) contain newlines, which have to be accounted
for in the RE.

Subject: cygwin-perl: matching behaves weird
Now, this may be old news for many of you, but I'm new to cygwin, so please
don't shoot. I'd be happy if someone would post me a link to the solution.
I'm doing quite strightforward matching using regular expressions in
perl (as you can see below) and the code used to work just fine on the
ActiveState perl, but behaves very strange with cygwin Perl:
-
unless ($page =~ /a href=\# onClick=window\.open\('(popBibTex.cfm\?.+?)',/s)
-
It simply does not match. I tried playing around, cuting certain suspicios
parts, and here is what I found out:
-
unless ($page =~ /on\Click=window\.open\('(popBibTex.cfm\?.+?)',/s)
-
this does match. (notice the \ before C)
What's up? (::confused;)
I'm runing Win_XP_Pro/SP2, just installed Cygwin (and all
tools/packages/modules that were available through the web install utility).

Setting up SSH keys for password less connections for sftp
Hello, I am attempting to replace an automated ftp process with sftp. This ftp process , which runs on a Windows 2000 server, grabs EDI files from our HPUX 11.0 server every 10 minutes and places then on the EDI Server. I would like to modify this process to use sftp and use the SSH keys for password less connections ..i.e. public key authentication. So far I have installed and tested SSH on the HPUX 11.0 server. I have also installed cygwin on the Windows 2000 server and preformed a successful test using sftp. The next step is to setup the public key authentication so that I can use sftp in the automated ftp process. I have Google'd the net and searched the archives of this list but have not been able to find any good documentation that shows me exactly what needs to be done in order to get the authentication working in my environment (mix of Windows and UNIX). So far I have been able to generate the private and public keys for both servers as show below: HPUX 11.0 - ssh-keygen -t dsa -f hp_sftp_user This command create the following files hp_sftp_user hp_sftp_user.pub Windows / CYGWIN - ssh -keygen -t dsa -P This was an interactive session and I was asked for the file names. win2k_sftp and win2k_sftp.pub were generated. ** Please let me know if there are better ways to generate the above keys ..including any additional options I may need. If the above mentioned keys are workable ... I now need a solution that will allow me to put these files to use on both the HPUX and Windows servers so I will be able to use password less connections .. which is especially need for the scheduled ftp process running on Windows.

Re: Setting up SSH keys for password less connections for sftp
from man ssh - The file $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys lists the public keys that are per- mitted for logging in. ssh implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically. The user creates his/her RSA key pair by running ssh-keygen(1). This stores the private key in $HOME/.ssh/identity and stores the public key in $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub in the user's home directory. The user should then copy the identity.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the authorized_keys file corresponds to the conventional $HOME/.rhosts file, and has one key per line, though the lines can be very long). After this, the user can log in without giving the password. - My personal opinion is that the last line causes a bit of confusion for some users, as giving a non-null passphrase when the specified key is generated causes the user to have to enter the passphrase (which can be interpreted as a request for the password). this link may also provide some useful information http://cricket.ecs.umass.edu/~czou/linux/backupSSH.html Chris Shehan wrote: Hello, I am attempting to replace an automated ftp process with sftp. This ftp process , which runs on a Windows 2000 server, grabs EDI files from our HPUX 11.0 server every 10 minutes and places then on the EDI Server. I would like to modify this process to use sftp and use the SSH keys for password less connections ..i.e. public key authentication. So far I have installed and tested SSH on the HPUX 11.0 server. I have also installed cygwin on the Windows 2000 server and preformed a successful test using sftp. The next step is to setup the public key authentication so that I can use sftp in the automated ftp process. I have Google'd the net and searched the archives of this list but have not been able to find any good documentation that shows me exactly what needs to be done in order to get the authentication working in my environment (mix of Windows and UNIX). So far I have been able to generate the private and public keys for both servers as show below: HPUX 11.0 - ssh-keygen -t dsa -f hp_sftp_user This command create the following files hp_sftp_user hp_sftp_user.pub Windows / CYGWIN - ssh -keygen -t dsa -P This was an interactive session and I was asked for the file names. win2k_sftp and win2k_sftp.pub were generated. ** Please let me know if there are better ways to generate the above keys ..including any additional options I may need. If the above mentioned keys are workable ...

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-3.9p1-1
I've just updated the version of OpenSSH to 3.9p1-1. This is an official new release, based on the vanilla sources. NOTE NOTE NOTE: Thanks to an early bug report on the cygwin mailing list, I found that you *must* add the -r option when starting the sshd daemon, if you want to use privilege separation. Either that, or disable privilege separation in /etc/sshd_config by setting UsePrivilegeSeparation no The official release message as of today: OpenSSH 3.9 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support to the project, especially those who contributed source and bought T-shirts or posters. We have a new design of T-shirt available, more info on http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html#18 For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu Changes since OpenSSH 3.8: * Added new IdentitiesOnly option to ssh(1), which specifies that it should use keys specified in ssh_config, rather than any keys in ssh-agent(1) * Make sshd(8) re-execute itself on accepting a new connection. This security measure ensures that all execute-time randomisations are reapplied for each connection rather than once, for the master process' lifetime. This includes mmap and malloc mappings, shared library addressing, shared library mapping order, ProPolice and StackGhost cookies on systems that support such things * Add strict permission and ownership checks to programs reading ~/.ssh/config NB ssh(1) will now exit instead of trying to process a config with poor ownership or permissions * Implemented the ability to pass selected environment variables between the client and the server. See AcceptEnv in sshd_config(5) and SendEnv in ssh_config(5) for details * Added a MaxAuthTries option to sshd(8), allowing control over the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per connection * Added support for cancellation of active remote port forwarding sessions. This may be performed using the ~C escape character, see Escape Characters in ssh(1) for details * Many sftp(1) interface improvements, including greatly enhanced ls support and the ability to cancel active transfers using SIGINT (^C) * Implement session multiplexing: a single ssh(1) connection can now carry multiple login/command/file transfer sessions. Refer to the ControlMaster and ControlPath options in ssh_config(5) for more information * The sftp-server has improved support for non-POSIX filesystems (e.g. FAT) * Portable OpenSSH: Re-introduce support for PAM password authentication, in addition to the keyboard-interactive driver. PAM password authentication is less flexible, and doesn't support pre-authentication password expiry but runs in-process so Kerberos tokens, etc are retained * Improved and more extensive regression tests * Many bugfixes and small improvements Checksums: == - MD5 (openssh-3.9.tgz) = 93f48bfcc1560895ae53de6bfc41689b - MD5 (openssh-3.9p1.tar.gz) = 8e1774d0b52aff08f817f3987442a16e Reporting Bugs: === - please read http://www.openssh.com/report.html and http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ OpenSSH is brought to you by Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, Kevin Steves, Damien Miller, Ben Lindstrom, Darren Tucker and Tim Rice.

Setting up SSH keys for password less connections for sftp
Good Afternoon, Thanks for your response. I have tried to work through both you answer and the solution you provided in the web link. So far I am still unable to get the passwordless connection to work. Here is my setup: Windows 2000 server. Windows user name is colibri. I have generated the RSA keys which were created in the c:\Documents and Settings\colibri\.ssh directory (id_rsa id_rsa.pub). The user that I wish to connect to on the HP UX server is applmgr. So I take the id_rsa.pub file and copy it to the HPUX server. It was placed in the /u02/app/applmgr/.ssh directly and named authorized_keys. Supposedly once this is done I should be able to connect to the HPUX server from the Windows server as applmgr via ssh or sftp (example : sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) without being asked for a password... correct? I am still prompted for a password. Or is this process assuming that I have identical users on both servers with identical passwords? I am sure this is a very simple setup and that I am missing something simple. Please help me clarify the situation and/or point out my problem.

Re: Setting up SSH keys for password less connections for sftp
Two things to check: 1) Is the ssh client actually using the keys (and same goes for the ssh server)? Run ssh with the -v flag to check. It's possible either the client or the server is rejecting the keys because of too-open permissions on them, or something. 2) Does your HPUX machine use Kerberos, AFS, DFS, or some other sort of external filesystem authentication mechanism? If so, then you're POL, since the server won't be able to read the authorized_keys file until you authenticate, which creates a Catch-22.

That would be a bug. But since Fergus was asking whether Cygwin expected certain things in certain locations, the answer to that would be no. Of course, that's the intention. Nothing said about that. If it weren't no, then anyone installing Cygwin to a drive other than C: would see problems. The lack of email to this list on the matter is just one indication that Cygwin has no expectations of where things live. The lack of messages might just as well be an indication of the number of people actually trying this particular thing. SIDENOTE: I've seen situations where a person attempting something similar just gives up immediately, without any questions. Just the comment Crap! I don't wanna bother more with it!. No help requested even though there are several people knowledgable enough standing within arms reach. I've seen it not just once - and I must admit; I've done the same myself! (Download free/shareware/whatever software; installation doesn't work - scrap it, try another similarily promising package) Sure, I can see that happening in a general sense with any software. But you're talking about generalities and (somewhat) philosophy. I'm targeting the question at hand. I don't disagree with your assertions in general/ philosophically but I'm avoiding discussion along this line in this thread. The code itself would be another. Hmm... I don't get this; is it a back reference to the bug-thing above? What I meant was that if there were dependencies built in to Cygwin, they would show up in the code as well. They don't. ;-) Ahh, I *understand* this! ;-) If a postinstall script is making some such assumptions, I'd expect we would've heard quite a bit about that here too (or at cygwin-apps). Not all malfunctions/mishaps get reported - a report requires some time and effort to put through; not to mention - the WJM attitude, at display relatively often, plays part in this. Many people won't stand up against it. It is desirable to have *good* problem reports, but when you request higher quality you also filter away some. It is a dilemma. OK, let me clarify. With the amount of people using Cygwin, some portion of those folks are going to install Cygwin somewhere other than C:\Cygwin. If there was a problem with doing that, we would have heard about it in some volume (look at the volume of complaints we get about people not being able to start Cygwin from 'cygwin.bat', for example). My point is the premise that Cygwin requires, implicitly, some specific locations to work is something that would be *very* noticeable and would generate some traffic volume on this and/or the cygwin-apps list. And I would have been one of the first to see the problem since I commonly install Cygwin on other drives and in other directories. So, with my original response, I was simply stating that the premise of the inquiry was false and that something else locally is responsible for the behavior Fergus sees. I think that's good and useful information and quite on topic (Fergus and others are free to make their own determination of course! ;-) ) FYI: My current employment is all about customer support; *I* _must_ handle those imprecise and badly phrased problem reports too; eventually the real problem gets revealed through the linguistic mist. (many .ro/.ru/.ba/.tw top domains emerge here -i.e. ppl not so used to english) Yep, it's a tough job, though I would say Fergus's original question is reasonably phrased and a fine question as far as it goes. But since the information provided only goes so far, I could not provide any additional feedback that might help him figure out what else could be causing the problem reported.

Re: Setting up SSH keys for password less connections for sftp
log in to the HPUX box as applmgr and run ssh-keygen as follows ssh-keygen -t rsa -N the quotes are important as this gives you a null passphrase It will generate id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files in $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/ copy $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/ authorized_keys2 move $HOME/applmgr/.ssh/id_rsa to the W2K box as c:\Documents and Settings\colibri\.ssh\applmgr_id_rsa on the W2K Box set the permissions on the applmgr_id_rsa file to u=rw, g=none,o=none by chmod 0600 .ssh/applmgr_id_rsa ssh -i applmgr_id_rsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I recall, the first time it prompts you for a password and generates the known hosts file. Thereafter it should be passwordless. The id_rsa file does not have to be named applmgr_id_rsa, I only did that for clarity, just make sure the filename matches the filename given by the -i option to ssh It's been a while since I've done this, but this is correct to the best of my memory.

RE: perl: cpan module's interactive mode fails

But when it does Scanning cache /home/sp/.cpan/build for sizes, see below, it chokes with (see output below): /usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next header /usr/bin/tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error I removed all ~/.cpan stuff, tried it again, no difference. Does anybody have an idea what's going on? I've sometimes seen those error messages. In my case, they've always been caused by attempting to on-the-fly-gunzip and untar by using tar -xz a file that is in fact just an ordinary tar and has already been gunzip'ed separately. My WAG is that this is happening because there are some ftp servers that if you download a .gz file from them, they uncompress it in transmission. Yes, I know, that sounds like a really daft idea and in fact it is: Oh, this file has been compressed to make it quicker to transmit: so let's uncompress it at the server and send the whole thing to the client. D'oh. A nice example of a feature that seems useful at first sight but is in fact not something you're ever likely to want to actually do in practice So, my first suggestion would be to take a quick look at the file with cat or less and see if it's already been gunziped and just looks like a plain (ascii text) tar file. That would diagnose it; how you'd go about fixing it (remove the .gz from the extension? recompress it yourself? persuade the CPAN install process to download it from a less 'helpful' ftp site?) is another question. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: igawk problem
Hi Igor,
thanks for all your insightful advice.
However, none of your suggestions work ootb.
This one doesn't do anything:
tmpname=`mktemp`
gawk -- $expand_prog /dev/stdin EOF $tmpname
$program
EOF
eval gawk $opts -- -f $tmpname '$@' \
rm -f $tmpname
If I understand the gawk man page right, -- is used to indicate the end of
the gawk arg list.
So the order of the args must be changed to
gawk $opts -f $tmpname -- '$@' rm -f $tmpname
This happens to work - even under aix!
The next one gives xargs: argument line too long :
gawk -- $expand_prog /dev/stdin EOF | eval xargs -0i gawk $opts
-- {} '$@' $program
EOF
You suggested in one of your earlier replies to submit this as a fix
upstream. How does one do that?
Would you mind doing it instead? After all, you were really the one that
came up with a solution.

Great. As I remarked in a later e-mail to Yitzchak, using xargs would be
equivalent to calling the command from the shell in terms of handling long
arguments, anyway, so strike that solution. The mktemp ones seems
best for all intents and purposes. If you're *sure* that the script won't
be used with stdin, you could try the (suitably modified) third solution,
i.e.,
gawk -- $expand_prog /dev/stdin EOF | eval gawk $opts -f- -- '$@'
$program
EOF
(that pesky -- thing again).
The next one gives xargs: argument line too long :
gawk -- $expand_prog /dev/stdin EOF | eval xargs -0i gawk $opts
-- {} '$@' $program
EOF
You suggested in one of your earlier replies to submit this as a fix

Well, hopefully, it'll be enough to have posted the solution here, so that
the gawk maintainer (Corinna) picks it up and, if she likes it, pushes it
upstream...
Would you mind doing it instead? After all, you were really the one that
came up with a solution.
We'll see what Corinna says. The above solution does introduce a
dependency on mktemp that the gawk maintainers may not wish...

Re: Windows XP SP2 - anybody tried it yet?

Re: Cygwin function for getting the current directory?
I am assuming that English is not your first language. Cygwin-function doesn't really have a meaning. Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer for Windows. I am inferring from the phrase Win32's GetCurrentDirectory() that you are programming in some compiled language, most likely C or C++. If the above assumptions are true then you probably need to download some development documentation. You probably want the man page for getcwd(). A good place to start reading would be the cygwin website. Especially parts about problems, asking questions, the cygwin API, and programming questions.

Re: Cygwin function for getting the current directory?
Thanks for the reply, Ken. I am indeed programming in a compiled language, C++ to be more specific. And, yes, English is my second language. Thanks for pointing out the POSIX fucntion getcwd() to me, it seems to be just what I was looking for. I didn't have a man page for it, even though I think I installed all documentation for Cygwin. Maybe I missed some package or maybe it's missing, it doesn't matter very much since there are plenty of online man pages. But Cygwin doesn't emulate all of Posix, only parts of it, right? / M -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

That would be a bug. But since Fergus was asking whether Cygwin expected certain things in certain locations, the answer to that would be no. Of course, that's the intention. Nothing said about that. If it weren't no, then anyone installing Cygwin to a drive other than C: would see problems. The lack of email to this list on the matter is just one indication that Cygwin has no expectations of where things live. The lack of messages might just as well be an indication of the number of people actually trying this particular thing. SIDENOTE: I've seen situations where a person attempting something similar just gives up immediately, without any questions. Just the comment Crap! I don't wanna bother more with it!. No help requested even though there are several people knowledgable enough standing within arms reach. I've seen it not just once - and I must admit; I've done the same myself! (Download free/shareware/whatever software; installation doesn't work - scrap it, try another similarily promising package) Sure, I can see that happening in a general sense with any software. But you're talking about generalities and (somewhat) philosophy. I'm targeting the question at hand. I don't disagree with your assertions in general/ philosophically but I'm avoiding discussion along this line in this thread. The code itself would be another. Hmm... I don't get this; is it a back reference to the bug-thing above? What I meant was that if there were dependencies built in to Cygwin, they would show up in the code as well. They don't. Right :-) ;-) Ahh, I *understand* this! ;-) If a postinstall script is making some such assumptions, I'd expect we would've heard quite a bit about that here too (or at cygwin-apps). Not all malfunctions/mishaps get reported - a report requires some time and effort to put through; not to mention - the WJM attitude, at display relatively often, plays part in this. Many people won't stand up against it. It is desirable to have *good* problem reports, but when you request higher quality you also filter away some. It is a dilemma. OK, let me clarify. With the amount of people using Cygwin, some portion of those folks are going to install Cygwin somewhere other than C:\Cygwin. If there was a problem with doing that, we would have heard about it in some volume (look at the volume of complaints we get about people not being able to start Cygwin from 'cygwin.bat', for example). True, I have seen those. Very similar now as you mention it. Which lessens the likelyhood of my SIDENOTE above. Sigh... ;-) My point is the premise that Cygwin requires, implicitly, some specific locations to work is something that would be *very* noticeable and would generate some traffic volume on this and/or the cygwin-apps list. And your point is very clear, no objections from my side. There is still one thing that _might_ cause problems; setup/cygwin interactions with user and/or administrator enforced settings. This would still fall into what I wrote about above. And I would have been one of the first to see the problem since I commonly install Cygwin on other drives and in other directories. Right... I'm not doing a plain install very often I have to admit. Though I always end up doing something nonstandard. (i.e. running the same install from several OS'es, machines, from an unusual place... - which can be taken as a sign of how well cygwin actually works in this regard ;-P ) So, with my original response, I was simply stating that the premise of the inquiry was false and that something else locally is responsible for the behavior Fergus sees. I think that's good and useful information and quite on topic (Fergus and others are free to make their own determination of course! ;-) ) ..., though I would say Fergus's original question is reasonably phrased and a fine question as far as it goes. Agreed... no shadows fall on him. :-) /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.

__const use instead of const in one place
Hi, I noticed that __const is used in one and only one place in the header files. Line 76 of \user\include\sys\unistd.h char_EXFUN(*getpass, (__const char *__prompt)); That's the only place in all the header files. Shouldn't it be changed to const?

[snip] As for my cron problem I can execute rudimentary commands such as ls, pwd and redirect the output to /tmp/debug.log. From that I can see that pwd tells me that I'm in /var/cron. The script I want to execute is under ~/bin (which is on a network share). I copied that script to /tmp and insured that it was set 777. Then I performed the following cron jobs: 18 17 * * * pwd /tmp/debug.log 21 19 17 * * * ls /tmp/debug.log 21 20 17 * * * ls -l /tmp/myscript /tmp/debug.log 21 21 17 * * * /tmp/myscript /tmp/debug.log 21 Here's the result: /var/cron tabs -rwxrwxrwx 1 TPAD3741 Domain U 5201 Aug 17 17:15 /tmp/myscript /tmp/myscript never get's executed. Sorry, can't really help here. There's just not enough information about what your script does or what your environment for me to hazard a guess. If you post more details or, better yet, a small test case, I can try it. The simple test I did which just echos Hello World from a bash script worked fine for me. Well initially it was a Perl script that I'm trying to run through cron. But I then stripped it down to just: #!/bin/bash echo testme /tmp/debug.log 21 Nothing additional got written into /tmp/debug.log. You have, of course, reviewed Yes I have but there was nothing there. Changed myscript to echo to /tmp/myscript.log so as not to have any problems with other things writing to /tmp/debug.log. No /tmp/myscript.log file was created. Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html and thought of attaching the output of cygcheck -svr, right? Yeah I thought about it! :-) OK I've attached it Also, did you try cron_diagnose.sh (Google for it)? I suspect some or all of your mounts may not be visible to cron... cron_diagnose.sh did point out that my /etc/passwd and /etc/group lacked read permission! Well it didn't actually lack read permission rather it was a symlink to network share. Actually it was a mount to a network share. So apparently I can't link passwd and group (I know, I know you hardliners will say You shouldn't symlink such things to network locations! What happens if the network is down and you try to login? - well I'm already logged into Windows so there is no real login happening under Cygwin. Yes there is a risk if the network is down then I will not have passwd, group, etc. Then again, whenever the network is down I'm either not working or working on the network problem anyway, but I digress..). Switched this to local copies. Now some things are working better. Do your cron jobs above (i.e., 19 17 * * * ls /tmp/debug.log 21 20 17 * * * ls -l /tmp/myscript /tmp/debug.log 21 ) still work correctly after changing ls to /bin/ls? Does changing /tmp/myscript to sh -c '/tmp/myscript' help any? With local /etc/passwd and /etc/group I'm able to execute /tmp/myscript. However I wish to execute ~/bin/somescript. I can't seem to get to $HOME! Now 'round here they map the P drive to the home share via //server/username$ - yeah that dollar sign thingy in Windows. I had done a mount -bsf //server/$USERNAME\$ /home a long time ago. However trying to ls /home/bin doesn't work in cron. Neither does ls P: nor even ls //server/$USERNAME\$!

Updated: OpenSSH-3.9p1-1
I've just updated the version of OpenSSH to 3.9p1-1. This is an official new release, based on the vanilla sources. NOTE NOTE NOTE: Thanks to an early bug report on the cygwin mailing list, I found that you *must* add the -r option when starting the sshd daemon, if you want to use privilege separation. Either that, or disable privilege separation in /etc/sshd_config by setting UsePrivilegeSeparation no The official release message as of today: OpenSSH 3.9 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support to the project, especially those who contributed source and bought T-shirts or posters. We have a new design of T-shirt available, more info on http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html#18 For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu Changes since OpenSSH 3.8: * Added new IdentitiesOnly option to ssh(1), which specifies that it should use keys specified in ssh_config, rather than any keys in ssh-agent(1) * Make sshd(8) re-execute itself on accepting a new connection. This security measure ensures that all execute-time randomisations are reapplied for each connection rather than once, for the master process' lifetime. This includes mmap and malloc mappings, shared library addressing, shared library mapping order, ProPolice and StackGhost cookies on systems that support such things * Add strict permission and ownership checks to programs reading ~/.ssh/config NB ssh(1) will now exit instead of trying to process a config with poor ownership or permissions * Implemented the ability to pass selected environment variables between the client and the server. See AcceptEnv in sshd_config(5) and SendEnv in ssh_config(5) for details * Added a MaxAuthTries option to sshd(8), allowing control over the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per connection * Added support for cancellation of active remote port forwarding sessions. This may be performed using the ~C escape character, see Escape Characters in ssh(1) for details * Many sftp(1) interface improvements, including greatly enhanced ls support and the ability to cancel active transfers using SIGINT (^C) * Implement session multiplexing: a single ssh(1) connection can now carry multiple login/command/file transfer sessions. Refer to the ControlMaster and ControlPath options in ssh_config(5) for more information * The sftp-server has improved support for non-POSIX filesystems (e.g. FAT) * Portable OpenSSH: Re-introduce support for PAM password authentication, in addition to the keyboard-interactive driver. PAM password authentication is less flexible, and doesn't support pre-authentication password expiry but runs in-process so Kerberos tokens, etc are retained * Improved and more extensive regression tests * Many bugfixes and small improvements Checksums: == - MD5 (openssh-3.9.tgz) = 93f48bfcc1560895ae53de6bfc41689b - MD5 (openssh-3.9p1.tar.gz) = 8e1774d0b52aff08f817f3987442a16e Reporting Bugs: === - please read http://www.openssh.com/report.html and http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ OpenSSH is brought to you by Markus Friedl, Niels Provos, Theo de Raadt, Kevin Steves, Damien Miller, Ben Lindstrom, Darren Tucker and Tim Rice.
