Question about remote X authorizations
Hi! I have a question/problem: I use cygwin to connect to a Solaris nachine (serverA), and log on using CDE. Everything fine so far, the DISPLAY variable is client:0.0. From serverA I do a rlogin to serverB (there is no ssh available on either serverA or serverB). There I export DISPLAY=client0.0. Now, I would like to start for example an x-term (running on serverB), and see the x-term via my x-session on serverA. However, this fails with a Error: Can't open display: client:0.0. Now, I was under the assumption that putting serverB into the file /etc/X0.hosts should do the job, but it didn't. Any suggestions?

You have most likely started an XDMCP session with -query. This sets a kind of access password called cookie. This password is only known to XWin and the xsession on serverA. The clients on windows do not know this password and are therefore rejected. If you want to start x11 programs on other hosts than serverA (eg serverB and event the windows host) you have to set the password on these hosts: serverA $ xauth list client:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 3413185661096326671c706b2b53743f serverB $ xauth add client:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 3413185661096326671c706b2b53743f You may disable the whole access control for specific hosts with xhost hostname or disable it at all with xhost +. Specifying hosts in /etc/X0.hosts will disable access control for these hosts on client startup. I have localhost in /etc/X0.hosts so I can connect with local clients even to a XDCMP session. more information is available with man Xsecurity About the problem with serverB: If you start DISPLAY=client:0.0 xterm and it does not print the Xlib: connection to client:0.0 refused by server then there is a general problem with network routing or name resolution. You might also try serverB $ DISPLAY=client_ip:0.0 xterm This will at least rule out problems with wrongly assigned ip adresses and host names. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

[patch] fix for cygcheck -s if run from /usr/bin
Currently, if you run cygcheck -s with the current directory as /usr/bin
you get every cyg*.dll found twice, once with .\ prefix and the second
time with \cygwin\bin\ prefix. The user gets a spurious Multiple
Cygwin DLLs found warning even if there is only one present.
The following patch tries to correct this. In init_paths(), the
paths[1] value is populated by GetCurrentDirectory() instead of just
.. This causes the existing duplicate checking code in add_path() to
reject a later attempt to add a directory from $PATH that is the same as
CWD.
However, this also means that if . is in $PATH it will no longer be
rejected by that same duplicate checking code, so init_paths() is also
modified to not add . since we already have the CWD added explicitly.
Finally, in dump_sysinfo() the loop is changed to check starting with
paths[1] instead of paths[0], since paths[0] is a special placeholder
value that is initialized to .. paths[1] contains the CWD anyway so
there's no need to examine paths[0].

Sure, everything's there. Procamail is working, too. What's throwing for a loop is this sudden disappearance of screen output when running fetchmail manually with the verbose option set. I can find a workaround if necessary and monitor the fetchmail log directly, but it would be nice to clearup this oddity. AFAICT, this is not a Cygwin fetchmail issue, so you may want to try the fetchmail list to find a better workaround -- if one exists. I should have had a closer look at (a euphemism for actually read) the log file. The log file didn't exist prior to running fetchmail in daemon mode, as evidenced by the first line: fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon All subsequent invocations of fetchmail (fetchmail -v) generated log entries only. Manually removing the log file allows the -v option to function normally and generate screen output. Executing 'touch /var/log/fetchmail.log' recreates the no-screen-output behaviour and status messages are again redirected to the log file. I haven't looked closely enough (another euphemism, but this one for I'm too lazy at the moment) at fetchmail's various logging options (I have none set in ~/.fetchmailrc), so I'll leave the issue as to whether this is a fetchmail problem to you.

Lpr problem with Cygwin 1.5.13 (Works fine with 1.5.12)
I'm having problems with lpr since I updated to the 1.5.13 version of cygwin. When I roll back the cygwin package (cygwin package only) to 1.5.12, lpr worked again. I'm using lpr to print to a Samba printer. I have exported the PRINTER environment variable that points to the UNC name of the printer //MAPLE/CLP510N. The Error message I get when I try to print with lpr foo.ps is: lpr: printer error: can't open '' for writing: The printer name is invalid The same as described in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00361.html Reading the thread started with the above message, I know that it has been identified as a cygwin bug. What I don't know is when will it be fixed. Will the fix be in the upcoming 1.5.14? If yes, thank you very much. If not, is there a workaround aside from rolling back to 1.5.12? -- Weiqi Gao () [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/ -- 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: Mailing list confusion
On Thu, 24 Mar 2005, Arend-Jan Westhoff wrote:
Thanks Brian, for the clarification. Does this imply that if one is e.g.
on the digest version of the mailinglist (as I am, and would like to
stay that way), that this confusion will be inevitable when one replies
to a message or is there a work around?
The digest messages usually contain the Message-ID: header, and most
mailers would thread the replies properly... Occasionally the Message-ID:
header is not recognized (don't know why), and thus doesn't get into the
digest.
(Actually I'm in fact responding to your reply from the archive since
the digest version with your reply has not yet arrived.) Would it not be
convenient if the archive and mailinglist present a line one could copy
and paste as the first line of a reply so that threading info would be
correctly preserved?
They do. Look at the Raw text link in the web archives -- that gives
you the complete mbox-formatted text of the message, headers and all.
Just save it where your mailer can get to it (as long as your mailer
understands the mbox format, like mine does), and it should work. You
will need to do a bit of pre-processing on the text, as the headers are
somewhat obfuscated (to deter spammers). Here's the script I use:
sed -e '1,/^$/{/^Subject:/I!{s/\r$//
s/ dot /./g
s/ at /@/g
s/^Path.*!not-for-mail$/From [EMAIL PROTECTED] '`date -u +%a %b %d %T
%Y`'/}}'
That last one is there because I also occasionally use Gmane's raw
article mode to get at the text of the article (for those cases when the
web archives cannot find the raw text).
I reply to most messages through the archives, and threading is correctly
preserved in all cases where the Message-ID: is present.
(Should make it independent of any rogue e-mail clients as well.)
No, since it's the e-mail client that adds the References: or In-Reply-To:
headers. If your client doesn't do this, there will be no threading...
(Btw http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/ is apparently a different -- may
be more proper(?) -- name to refer to the location of the Cygwin archive
(currently at IP 12.107.209.250).)
The usual way I use is http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin -- that's the
shortest non-obfuscated link I'm aware of.

My Windows admin told me it might because there is a

I'm not sure how you got from the above to this but if this is a problem
that's keeping the ssh server from running for you, you need to look at
what other services you have running. Also, its not clear based on the
information you've given whether or not you've even started the ssh server.
Also, did you run ssh-user-config?
If you're still having problems getting the Cygwin ssh server working for
you, please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines at
http://cygwin.com/problems.html. FWIW, I run this server on both
W2K and XP machines without any difficulty. So whatever the problem is that
you're seeing, it's local.

rxvt problem: Prompt doesn't look very nice
Hello, I just tried rxvt because I wanted to replace the hopeless cmd
window. However, the prompt (not sure that is the correct word) doesn't
look very nice, here it is copied and pasted:
\[\033]0;\w\007
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$
It looks similar, if not the same, as the result when I tried to set bash as
the default shell for a native Windows Emacs cvs version. I guess the
\[\033]0;\w\007
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] should display the cwd if it was
working correctly, yes?
I was wondering how I can solve this problem with rxvt. And, when I solve it
I will be interested in tips on how to make rxvt look better or other tips
so feel free to mention such things too.
output of cygcheck -svr attached.
Thanks for any replies

Re: clamwin installs incompatible copy of cygwin1.dll
At 01:50 PM 3/24/2005, you wrote: I had a user install clamwin and as discussed on the list here: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-09/msg00288.html it blithely installs cygwin1.dll regardless of any installation of cygwin.

Obviously, I can have the person uninstall clamwin. Is there anything else that makes sense (and, no, uninstalling cygwin doesn't make sense)? The standard solution in these cases is to remove the cygwin1.dll from the offending 3rd party package after installing and make sure that the 3rd party package can find the already existing cygwin1.dll in the Cygwin installation (C:\cygwin\bin by default). The easiest way to do this is to put the Cygwin installation path/bin in your Windows path. As Chris points out, this could all be automated with some minor effort on the part of the 3rd party providers but in the absence of such support, you have to do it manually. :-( A better question might be to ask the clamwin folks why they can't augment their installer to accommodate an existing Cygwin installation. If their package breaks a Cygwin installation, it's really not a Cygwin problem per-se. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

I really really hope that someone makes it work some day (I wish I had the knowledge to contribute), because it's on my top-three list of outstanding issues I have with Cygwin (admittedly indirectly in this case because I use a native Emacs version). My other issues mostly revolve around being unable to build certain program ootb on cygwin. If you are using Emacs =21.1; try the following elisp (add-hook 'comint-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on) You should see the colors properly in emacs.

Thanks for replying so quickly Jonathan with such excellent help, it helps make this world a kinder place. Are you sure you are using `bash' as your shell? The ability to use visible escape sequences for colors et al. rather than the actual control characters in the prompt variables is a `bash' feature. I see what you are seeing when I use `sh' or `ksh' and have the `bash'-style prompt settings. The reason I think this is that `bash' would not write out the \[ and \] sequences as part of the prompt. These are fenceposts used to identify portions of the prompt string that take up no physical space on the output line. This permits `bash' to calculate how long the prompt string actually is so that wrapping and editting look correct. -- 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/

This predictably causes problems. Searching through the user guide and faq doesn't yield a suggestion for solutions or workarounds and searching the list archives yields so much material that it is hard to focus in on what specifically to do. Obviously, I can have the person uninstall clamwin. Is there anything else that makes sense (and, no, uninstalling cygwin doesn't make sense)? The standard solution in these cases is to remove the cygwin1.dll from the offending 3rd party package after installing and make sure that the 3rd party package can find the already existing cygwin1.dll in the Cygwin installation (C:\cygwin\bin by default). The easiest way to do this is to put the Cygwin installation path/bin in your Windows path. As Chris points out, this could all be automated with some minor effort on the part of the 3rd party providers but in the absence of such support, you have to do it manually. :-( A better question might be to ask the clamwin folks why they can't augment their installer to accommodate an existing Cygwin installation. If their package breaks a Cygwin installation, it's really not a Cygwin problem per-se. This is helpful, thank you. Being curious and trying to be minimal about changes to the system in question, I tried removing and linking the dll in place. I first tried ln -s /bin/cygwin1.dll in the clamwin/bin directory and wasn't surprised that it didn't work. Being Unix person by background, I then tried ln /bin/cygwin1.dll and that surprised me by working. I expected to see an NTFS cygwin1.dll.lnk file in there but using cmd.exe and dir or the windows explorer looks like a full copy of the dll file.

Windows does not understand symlinks as they are a Cygwin thing, so you can't symlink a DLL and expect it to load. NTFS does not support symbolic links but it does support hard links, see http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prkc_fil_baey.asp?frame=true. If the volume is NTFS, 'ln' will use this capability. On 9x or FAT it will make a copy (I think.) You shouldn't need to do either though, as long as your original cygwin1.dll from the Cygwin installation is in the path. Windows will search for DLLs in: the directory of the .exe, the system directory, the wondows directory, the current directory, and directories in the PATH, in that order. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/loadlibrary.asp for details. So all you need to do is put \cygwin\bin in your path. Care is taken by the maintainers to make sure the Cygwin DLL is backwards-compatible, so the current cygwin1.dll should always be able to replace any weird older Cygwin DLL that some installer uses (but not the Bxx series.) However the reverse is not true, you cannot use a binary that was compiled against a recent cygwin1.dll with an older copy of the DLL. So in other words, all you have to do is ensure that you only have one cygwin1.dll on your system and in the path, and that it's the current version. Remove any other copies.

Re: Postgres 7.2
Larry -- You've partially diagnosed my problem for me. Here's what's going on (in detail): I've taken over admin on development (DEV) and production (PROD) boxes for a small website. DEV is W2K and PROD is Linux. The app running on the servers in Java-based, and it connects to a Postgres DB. The PROD box (which is running fine) is running Postgres 7.2. The DEV box WAS running fine, until I started up pg_ctl without first ipc-daemon, resulting in 100% CPU utilization. Thinking that there was something wrong with the installation (vim was broken, and I was getting some other strange behavior every time I typed a new command in the Cygwin command line) I decided to execute the setup.exe file, trying to be very careful not to over-write the Postgres 7.2 installation I had on DEV. After having to go through the install process three or four times, the last time I accidentally over-wrote the 7.2 install I had on DEV with version 7.4.5-1.

recv and errno during a connection reset/closed by peer
I am writing a program to handle messages on a TCP/CONNECTION based setup.
I have verified that I can receive the messages I want, both blocking and
non-blocking. I want to be in non-blocking mode.
When in blocking mode I can detect a loss of the connection simply by
waiting for a return of '0' from recv. Easy enough.
When in non-blocking mode I thought I would be able to get a return from
recv of '-1' and then check errno, but it never seems to be anything but
'11', or EAGAIN. This seems to be true whether I MSG_PEEK or not.
I have included my code below. The intention is that for recv returns
greater than zero, there is a message and I should process it and get ready
for the next one. For recv returns of '0' I should do nothing and for recv
returns of '-1' I should handle per errno.
Seems easy enough, but no matter what I have tried I can only get a recv
return of EAGAIN.
Any help would be appreciated..

I guess the \[\033]0;\w\007 \033[32m\]\u at \h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] should display the cwd if it was working correctly, yes? These are ansi escape sequences, which won't work inside emacs, because it isn't an ANSI terminal. I really really hope that someone makes it work some day (I wish I had the knowledge to contribute), because it's on my top-three list of outstanding issues I have with Cygwin (admittedly indirectly in this case because I use a native Emacs version). My other issues mostly revolve around being unable to build certain program ootb on cygwin. If you are using Emacs =21.1; try the following elisp (add-hook 'comint-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on) You should see the colors properly in emacs. (Essentially Emacs interprets the escape sequences and emulates them with the appropriate emacs features.) Thanks Michael. I am using the CVS-version (dated early febraury) of Emacs. I removed the lines I added to my .bashrc and added what you showed to my .emacs. Now my bash shell inside emacs looks nice (and in color), but it's not perfect. Here it is: ]0;c:/cygwin/home/mikael/coding/Win32/show_styles/src [EMAIL PROTECTED] c:/cygwin/home/mikael/coding/Win32/show_styles/src $ The first line doesn't look so good and it's basically repeating what's in the second line (the path). How do I make it perfect? As for rxvt, those should work just fine. See this FAQ for a little bit more info and a pointer to the rxvt docs: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html#SEC65 -- Thanks for the link, now it looks much better. Now I just need to find a font I like. Thanks for replying so quickly Jonathan with such excellent help, it helps make this world a kinder place. Are you sure you are using `bash' as your shell? The ability to use visible escape sequences for colors et al. rather than the actual control characters in the prompt variables is a `bash' feature. I see what you are seeing when I use `sh' or `ksh' and have the `bash'-style prompt settings. The reason I think this is that `bash' would not write out the \[ and \] sequences as part of the prompt. These are fenceposts used to identify portions of the prompt string that take up no physical space on the output line. This permits `bash' to calculate how long the prompt string actually is so that wrapping and editting look correct. / 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/

The Cygwin code does not attempt to do anything with the socket if buf = NULL and len = 0. (You can look at it yourself, file winsup/cygwin/net.cc, functions cygwin_recv() and cygwin_recvfrom().) How would you ever expect recv() to return 0 when you don't give it a buffer to put the data into? The POSIX standard doesn't say anything about the behavior of recv() when buf=NULL so what you're trying to do must be some nonstandard quirk of other systems' libc.

Cygwin Dlls
Hi group, I am using cygwin for tinyos. I installed Tinyos1.1.0 in directory C:\tinyos\ and later upgraded to 1.1.7. I have installed arm-gcc from http://www.gnuarm.com/bu-2.15_gcc-3.4.3-c-c++-java_nl-1.12.0_gi-6.1.exe to the directory C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM Now the problem starts: 1. When I tried to compile a C program by arm-elf-gcc it gave error The procedure entry point__argz_count could not be located in the dynamic linked library cygwin1.dll 2. I replaced C:\tinyos\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll by C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin\cygwin1.dll and also deleted C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin\cygwin1.dll . Now the program compiled if I compiled it from the directory C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin. From other directory it gave error The procedure entry point libconv_set_relocation_prefix could not be located in the dynamic linked library cygiconv-2.dll. **At this point the uisp command to uplaod a program started hanging indefinetly. 3. Finally I moved all dll in C:\tinyos\cygwin\arm-gcc\GNUARM\bin\ to C:\tinyos\cygwin\bin\. Now I can compile from any place but uisp still hangs. Can any one please suggest the exact way of using dlls so that I can use the arm-gcc as like avr-gcc in tinyos Regds, Ravi __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Peter, This works for me: /* Detect dead connections */ int keepalive = 1 ; r = setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, (char *)keepalive, sizeof(keepalive)) ; recv() will now return ECONNABORTED when the host disconnects.

The first line above of PS1 is an escape sequence that tells the terminal to change the window title to the given string.
