 Rsync is very nice and light on resources. Maybe you can skip the need
 to have Cygwin using PuTTY as the SSH client on the windows box
 (provided you rsync from the Windows box to the Redhat one). I don't
 know what is needed to set up an SSH server on Windows (other than the
 Cygwin one, that is) if you want to do it the other way 'round.

 It refers to the local directory containing all the packages
 in the directory structure you get when you download packages.
 So it is neither the directory where 'setup.exe' is located
 not the current working directory.

If it's neither the current working directory nor the directory
where setup.exe is located, then how does setup.exe know where

No, actually this way round seems easier. You are using Cygwin for the
SSH client (you might want to use PuTTY if you aren't taking advantage
of other Cygwin features). 

(1) What happens if you invoke the ssh command on the Windows box?
(you should get a shell on the RedHat box).

(2) Can you see activity on the redhat's box sshd or auth log file (found
somewhere around /var/log -- places to look would be sshd.log,
auth.log, daemon.log syslog)?

If Dr. Zell cannot solve this problem, I doubt that anything I might

with this problem.  But here goes.

Does `cygstart run fetchmail' do what you want?  (See `man run'.)

(Note that run has a `-wait' option.  This might be useful to the
person [in another recent thread] who wanted cygstart to have a
`--wait' option.)

Again, I apologize if this was so much wasted bandwidth.

 Just wanted to let you know that I don't see the issue you are
 describing in my environment when running make test. I've attached
 the cygcheck info.
 [snip]

I know of another user who does not have this problem too.  I noticed
that both of these users do not have openssl-devel installed.  As an
experiment, I removed the openssl-devel package and built a completely
new Python 2.6.1.  I was able to run test_asynchat in a loop 300 times
without any core dumps [1].  Additionally, I was also able to run the
regression test without any of the threading related tests core dumping.

As another experiment, I ran Cygwin Ports Python 2.6.1 and it core dumps
in exactly the same way as the one I built when I had the openssl-devel
package installed.

Yaakov, did you have openssl-devel installed when you built Python
2.6.1?  If so, are you able to run the regression test [2] without
threading related problems?

George, are you willing to install openssl-devel, build a completely new
Python, run the regression test [2], and report back your findings to the
list?

Thanks,
Jason

[1] Although test_asynchat failed occasionally (about 5% of the time)
with a sem_init: Resource temporarily unavailable error.

[2] Run at least test_asynchat with something like the following:
./python.exe -E -tt Lib/test/regrtest.py -l test_asynchat

 FWIW, I don't have this problem when running fetchmail as a service.

I saw that in an earlier post and tried to follow the instructions
in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/fetchmail-6.3.9.README, but I get this
result:

$ cygrunsrv --install fetchmail --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --env 
HOME=$HOME --user $USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME '-w ' --args '--daemon 300 
--nodetach' --shutdown

$ cygrunsrv -S fetchmail
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService:  Win32 error 1069:
The service did not start due to a logon failure.

I have both cron and sshd running as services, so that much works,
but they may be running as the system user (whatever it's called).
I don't know how to diagnose this sort of failure.

Re: automate SSH-HOST-CONFIG

2009-01-13 Thread blazt


Hi Dimitri, thanks for your help.

I created the script based on yours but it never sends the expect back to
the program.

#!/bin/bash
#!./expect -f 
chmod +r /etc/passwd
chmod +r /etc/group
chmod +x /var

echo Starting Script

# Host keys generation is lengthy procedure
set timeout 20

expect {
  *** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) { send
yes\r;
exp_continue }
  Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file? (yes/no) { send yes\r;
exp_continue }
  Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) { send yes\r 
exp_continue}
  Say no if it is already installed as a service) (yes/no) { send
yes\r
exp_continue}
  Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ntsec] { send \r
exp_continue}
  Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no)  { send  no\r
exp_continue}
  Please enter the password for user 'cyg_server': { send password\r
exp_continue}
  Reenter:  { send password }
} 

echo end First Part
set timeout 5 

expect {
  Should this script create a local user 'sshd' on this machine?
(yes/no) { send yes\r }
  new local account 'sshd'? (yes/no) { send yes\r }
}

I took out the exec so I could see the script run and it simply hangs at the
first query where it asks to overwrite existing files. Is there anything
else I need to do to get this to work with cygwin?

 It refers to the local directory containing all the packages in the
 directory structure you get when you download packages.

We haven't downloaded packages yet.  All we've done is start up
setup.exe and we're sitting looking at the first screen.

 So it is neither the directory where 'setup.exe' is located
 not the current working directory.

If you believe the setup.exe source code, it is the currrent
working directory.  The three choices are:

 IDC_SOURCE_DOWNLOAD
 IDC_SOURCE_NETINST
 IDC_SOURCE_CWD 

AFAICT, CWD stands for current working directory.

  Does cygwin support the setsockopt() - IP_PKTINFO to retreive the

  works find under linux.  I'm guessing that cygwin is using winsock 
underneath 
 
 That's right.
 
  and I beleive this would only be available under winsock 2.2.  Is there a 
  means to build cygwin to complile with this version of winsock?
 
 No, that's not possible, since it doesn't work that way.   Cygwin is
 using OS functions to emulate POSIX functionality, so calling Cygwin's
 recvmsg is not just a direct call to the equivalent Winsock function
 WSARecvMsg.  WSARecvMsg is only available starting with Windows XP.
 Earlier systems only have WSARecvFrom, so that's what Cygwin is using
 under the hood to support older OS versions as well.  The
 sendmsg/recvmsg control data functionality wasn't that important so far.
 
 In theory, that can be changed for Cygwin 1.7 so that WSARecvMsg is used
 on XP and later, but that requires more work than just replacing
 WSARecvFrom with WSARecvMsg.  I'm not even sure our header files are
 sufficient for that.  I'm rather reluctant to change that right now,
 but that's certainly something to consider for a later release.
 
 Final note:  http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC
 
 Corinna
 

So recvmsg() maps to WSARecvFrom() :( I suppose it should also return fail if 
the setsockopt() is called with an option that requires recvmsg() to get? And, 
perhaps recmsg() should also not be supported forcing users to use recvfrom()?

Well, what I need is a means to get the UDP (multicast) destination address. 
While it would be possible to make some other new function for this it seem to 
make the most since to use what currently exists (yet a bit obscure). It would 
also make the code more portable.

Based on the above, the -f has nothing to do with it.   And this is
not a universal problem; rm has no trouble removing readonly files on
my Cygwin system, which is also 1.5.25.

Your cygcheck output indicates you have a C:\tools\unix\rm.exe in your
PATH; the Cygwin one is listed first by cygcheck, but it's worth
double-checking that you're executing the Cygwin one in the particular
shell environment where you're running these tests.

If it really is the Cygwin rm, it sounds like the unlink(2) call is
reporting success but not actually deleting the file.  That's easy to
check by calling unlink via a different route, e.g. perl -e
'unlink(goo/foo)' .

setup.exe 2.592-1.7 built from sources seems buggy

I built setup.exe from the sources in setup-2.592-1.7special.tar.bz2,
and the resulting program seems a bit buggy.  There have been
two problems I've noticed so far:

 1) It stopped and complatined that release/gcc/gcc-3.4.4-3.tar.bz2
wasn't a valid file format.  Yet tar seems quite happy with
it.  

 2) About 6-8 times during the install, it stopped and
complained 

   Can't open file://D:\cygwin/ for reading: No such file

The working directory when setup.exe was started was
d:/cygwin, and the packages are all in d:/cygwin/release   

I just clicked OK on all the error dialog boxes and the
install continued and produced what appears to be a working
install.

Should I be using an older version of setup sources?  The
working setup.exe that I downloaded yesterday appears to be
version 2.573.2.3.

I should have included a return code check:

perl -e 'unlink(goo/foo) or die $!'

I suspect that will still run silently without removing the file,
indicating that the problem is indeed in the unlink(2) system call.
Which *should* succeed in any case; unlink() doesn't care about the
permissions of the target file, only of the directory containing it.

I see your original message confirmed that you were running Cygwin's
rm, btw; sorry for the extra hoop-jumping there.

So at this point I'm at a loss.  I'm running the same version of
Cygwin (though on Vista, not XP) on the same type of filesystem (NTFS)
and not seeing the issue.  Is there any way this could be
BLODA-induced?

checking whether padlock support is requested... yes
checking for gpg-error-config... (cached) 
 /home/grante/setup-2.573.2.3/gpg-error-config-fake 
 --dir=/home/grante/setup-2.573.2.3
checking for GPG Error - version = 1.4... ./configure: line 23286: 
 /home/grante/setup-2.573.2.3/gpg-error-config-fake: No such file or directory
no
configure: error: libgpg-error is needed.
See ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/ .
configure: error: ./configure failed for libgcrypt

 libgcrypt, libgcrypt-devel, libgcrypt11, and libgpg-error are
 all installed.

$ gpg-error-config --version
1.6
$ libgcrypt-config --version
1.4.1

 Does anybody understand why the configure is failing?

 It appears that setup.exe includes it's own private copy of
 libgcrypt, and it thinks there's supposed to be a file named
 setup-2.573.2.3/gpg-error-config-fake and it can't find it?

AFAICT, somebody removed the file gpg-error-config-fake
claiming it wasn't needed anymore:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps-cvs/2008-q2/msg00038.html

Except that it was needed.

Can somebody loan me hint on how to go about building 2.573.2.3?

(or any other snapshot that is likely to work?)

It refers to the local directory containing all the packages
in the directory structure you get when you download packages.
So it is neither the directory where 'setup.exe' is located
not the current working directory.


If it's neither the current working directory nor the directory
where setup.exe is located, then how does setup.exe know where
to find it?


Are you only interested in knowing where the local directory defaults
to the first time it is run on a machine without a Cygwin installation?
If so, then yes, it is CWD.  Otherwise, the local directory is the local
package directory where packages were downloaded last time, which may
not be the synonymous with the CWD at the time that you start 'setup.exe'.
In any case, the local directory to use is stored in
'/etc/setup/last-cache'.

ps COMMAND column

2009-01-13 Thread Paul McFerrin


Is there a way to get ps to display more on the COMMAND column?

It appears to display only argv[0] and none of the others.  So when 
executing ksh scripts, they all show up as ksh.  Or if you have 
multiple executions of a single command, it makes it hard to identify 
which one you want to kill off.

Yep, but as you correctly infer later, they aren't used.

Does anybody understand why the configure is failing?

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps-cvs/2008-q2/msg00038.html

Except that it was needed.

That's a red herring; take a closer look at the full history:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/setup/gpg-error-config-fake?cvsroot=cygwin-apps

First off, that removal you cited was from mainline rather than the release
branch. Second, it was done after applying a patch that did indeed obviate
the need for it: see r2.23 of configure.in, applied 5 minutes earlier.

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/setup/configure.in?cvsroot=cygwin-apps

And third, I reverted both patches a few hours later after it turned out to
cause libgcrypt to get rebuilt every time you did make even when nothing had
changed.

Looking in the snapshot tarball, it seems that configure.in does indeed
have the original (unpatched or reverted) code, so why doesn't it have the
gpg-error-config-fake script as well? I went digging in the source directory
where I originally built the tarball that's currently on the cygwin website,
and the file is there in the sources, but it's not in the generated tarball!

It turns out that adding files to the sources doesn't automatically cause
them to end up in the source tarball; you need to list them explicitly. That
happens for you if they're C or C++ source or header files, but not for shell
scripts. Argh, my bad! Thanks for spotting it.

Can somebody loan me hint on how to go about building 2.573.2.3?

(or any other snapshot that is likely to work?)

You can download a copy from the sourceware CVS repository via the web
interface here:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/setup/gpg-error-config-fake?cvsroot=cygwin-apps

and drop it in with the rest of the sources. Or you can hang around a while,
and I'll upload a fixed tarball. (I'll just manually add the missing stuff
and re-upload it).

  That's an unusual one for BLODA.  It generally causes no problems, but if

it cause problems other times myself.

  What AV have you got?  Sometimes your AV can keep a handle open to a file
(for scanning) for some time after you've last accessed it.  If you're trying
to delete it in that window (and this could happen every time automatically if
'rm' does a stat() to check the file exists and is readable right before
calling unlink()), then it might fail because it's in use.  Maybe your AV was
doing that for a while and now it's stopped but this is pretty speculative.

Just for the sake of documenting what didn't work, I also tried
deleting the usage of the fake config utility from the

cygwin system's already-installed gpg-error libraries. Those
are Cygwin libraries and what's required are Mingw

much what I had expected since setup.exe isn't a Cygwin

another thing I forgot at the time.)

 Thanks, I'm set.  I guess nobody else builds their own

  I'm a little surprised it took this long for anyone to notice!

  Hi
  
  This still bugs me. fetchmail pops up console windows when delivering
  mails to procmail.
  It doesn't matter if I run fetchmail directly from the commandline (in
  my case in a rxvt window under X) or as a service.
 
  Any hint what could cause this popup windows is appreciated. I'm 
 running
  under XP SP2 with the latest packages installed.
 
  I'm having the same problem running fetchmail as a daemon from the
  command line.  Were you able to find a solution?
 
 Yes, cockpit error, I didn't follow the cygwin fetchmail README:
 
 fetchmail --nodetach is your friend
   ^^

Thank you!  That worked, at the expense of having to keep a terminal
open.  I then tried this,

fetchmail --nodetach  fetchmail.log 21 

which leaves the terminal free, doesn't have the pop-up console
windows, and can be killed with fetchmail -q.

Regards,
Gary

 This machine uses Mcaffee OAS.  And it appears I don't have the power
 to disable it even to test.  Mixed feelings about that... there are
 some users that would leave it off a lot...

You can temporarily disable McAfee AV via the Administrative Tools Services
control panel. Just locate and stop the McAfee service, then restart it when
you're done.

 FWIW, I don't have this problem when running fetchmail as a service.
 I saw that in an earlier post and tried to follow the instructions in
 /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/fetchmail-6.3.9.README, but I get this result:
 
 [snip]
 
 $ cygrunsrv -S fetchmail
 cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService:  Win32 error 1069:
 The service did not start due to a logon failure.
 
 I have both cron and sshd running as services, so that much works,
 but they may be running as the system user (whatever it's called).
 I don't know how to diagnose this sort of failure.
 Did you heed the following from the README?
 
 o the $USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME account must have the Log on as a
   service user right for Cygwin fetchmail to start as a NT service
 
 I heeded it in the sense that I read it and understood that it might
 be the problem.  I did go searching in the Control Panel for likely
 utilities, but I couldn't find anything in User Accounts or anywhere
 else that would let me set user rights or that even told me what
 they were.  I did not search Windows Help and Support.  That sort of
 cluelessness was meant to be implicit in the statement, I don't
 know how to diagnose this sort of failure, but I suppose I should
 have been more clear.
 
 So how does one set that right?
 
 '/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh' has this:
 
 editrights -u ${user} -t SeServiceLogonRight
 
 Try that, substituting the appropriate user for your situation and
 Windows version.

I tried this:

$ editrights -u $USER -l
SeServiceLogonRight
SeBatchLogonRight

as well as this:

$ editrights -u $USER -t SeServiceLogonRight
$ echo $?
0

After executing those tests, I again ran the same cygrunsrv
--install fetchmail ... and cygrunsrv -S fetchmail commands and
again got the same Win32 error 1069.

FWIW, my $USER name has a space in it, which occasionally causes
problems with some programs.  This PC was set up a number of years
ago and at the time I didn't understand the implications of giving
Windows my full name as a user name.

Also, as I wrote elsewhere in this thread, I do have a solution to
the pop-up console window problem, so while it would be nice to
have a solution to this fetchmail-as-a-service problem as well, it's
not all that important.

If desired, I can send the output of cygcheck -srv to the list,
but I didn't want to impose a 32K message on everyone otherwise.

Regards,
Gary

You can take that as a compliment: the program evidently works
so well that only the rare oddballs like me feel the need to
mess with it.

FWIW, I changed source.cc to default to CWD as the source so
that my CD-based install will just work without the user
having to click anything other than next/finish.  I've found
that requiring anything else of users will cause problems.

Certainly sounds like something is locking that file.  Perhaps Process
Explorer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
or Handle http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896655.aspx
can help you figure out who might be doing this.

I after few hours of tracing the file mirroring is already working. 
I found out that the error occurs when rsync encounters a unpermitted
folders, files etc. that it can't be transferred. All the options are still
needed [rsync -avz --delete --exclude=**/stats --exclude=**/error
--exclude=**/files/pictures -e ssh -v -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key
someu...@server1.example.com:/var/www/ /var/www/] and adding a -v on ssh. 
that is why you have to assign a particular folder your files to be
mirrored.

Thank you guys and more power!
