For other services we never create the accounts without the user explicitely requesting them by calling the service-config script. The other problem is that you don't know if creating the a local account is the right thing to do. In many companies there are restrictions on creating a local account and a domain account has to be created instead. Your config script has to take that into account by checking if a matching user account exists already or to ask the user if it should be created. BTW: The procmail package is also affected. Its postinstall script creates a local group 'mail' using 'net localgroup ...'. This should be changed, IMO. Ouch, I didn't see that when I GTGed the package :( Yes, that should definitely be changed for the same reasons. I understand. I'll come up with an elegant solution for procmail ASAP. D.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 1.7.33-0.8
Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released a 8th TEST version of the next upcoming Cygwin release,
1.7.33-0.8.
Changes compared to the former test version 1.7.33-0.7:
- GCC 4.9.2-1 DLLs accidentally call __cxa_atexit with the wrong DSO
handle value. This Cygwin update allows this scenario throughout.
It now understands *any* DSO handle value, as long as it's a pointer
into the DSO's address space.
This fixes: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-11/msg00122.html
If you don't build applications or DLLs with Cygwin, you can safely
ignore this change.
If you want to help testing this new release (which I seriously hope
for), you can find it in your setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe as
test release.
The major change in this new release is the new method to read account
(passwd and group) information from the Windows user databases directly,
without the requirement to generate /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to
generate Unix-like uid and gid.
For your convenience I wrote new documentation. Since this is a TEST
prerelease, the new documentation is not part of the official docs yet.
Rather have a look at
https://cygwin.com/preliminary-ntsec.html
If you read it
(which I seriously hope for) and it's all just incomprehensible
gobbledygook to you, please say so on the mailing list
cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
so we have a chance to improve the documentation.
Please give this TEST release a try.
If you find problems in the new features or regressions compared to the
current stable release 1.7.32, please report them to the public mailing
list
cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Following is a list of changes in this new release:
What's new:
---
- Cygwin can now generate passwd/group entries directly from Windows
user databases (local SAM or Active Directory), thus allowing to run
Cygwin without having to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling.
For bordercase which require to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group files,
change mkpasswd/mkgroup to generate passwd/group entries compatible
with the entries read from SAM/AD.
- Add -b/--remove-all option to setfacl to reduce the ACL to only the
entries representing POSIX permission bits.
- /proc/cygdrive is a new symlink pointing to the current cygdrive prefix.
This can be utilized in scripts to access paths via cygdrive prefix, even
if the cygdrive prefix has been changed by the user.
- /proc/partitions now prints the windows mount points the device is mounted
on. This allows to recognize the underlying Windows devices of the Cygwin
raw device names.
- New API: quotactl, designed after the Linux/BSD function, but severely
restricted: Windows only supports user block quotas on NTFS, no group
quotas, no inode quotas, no time constraints.
- New APIs: ffsl, ffsll (glibc extensions).
- New API: stime (SVr4).
- Provide Cygwin documentation (PDFs and HTML) for offline usage in
/usr/share/doc/cygwin-${version}.
What changed:
-
- New internal exception handling based on SEH on 64 bit Cygwin.
- Revamp Solaris ACL implementation to more closely work like POSIX ACLs
are supposed to work. Finally implement a CLASS_OBJ emulation. Update
getfacl(1)/setfacl(1) accordingly.
- When exec'ing applications, check if $PATH exists and is non-empty. If not,
add PATH variable with Cygwin installation directory as content to Windows
environment to allow loading of Cygwin system DLLs.
- Disable CYGWIN dosfilewarning option by default.
- Improve various header files for C++- and standards-compliance.
- Doug Lea malloc implementation update from 2.8.3 to the latest 2.8.6.
- The xdr functions are no longer exported for newly built executables.
Use libtirpc-devel instead.
- atexit is now exported as statically linked function from libcygwin.a.
This allows reliable access to the DSO handle of the caller for newly
built executables. The former atexit entry point into the DLL remains
for backward compatibility only.
Bug Fixes
-
- Per POSIX, dirfd(3) now returns EINVAL rather than EBADF on invalid
directory stream.
- Fix a resource leak in rmdir(2).
- Fix fchmod(2)/fchown(2)/fsetxattr(2) in case the file got renamed after
open and before calling one of the affected functions.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-08/msg00517.html
- Handle Netapp-specific problem in statvfs(2)/fstatvfs(2).
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-06/msg00425.html
- Fix chown(2) on ptys in a corner case.
- Generate correct error when a path is inaccessible due to missing permissions.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2014-10/msg00010.html
- Don't hang in accept calls if socket is no listener. Set errno to EINVAL
instead.
- Don't allow seeking on serial lines and sockets. Set errno to ESPIPE
instead.

The next 1.7.33-0.8 should be more tolerant of the old .32 behavior. After 1.7.33 is officially released, gcc-4.8.3-4 and 4.9 will switch to the standard conformant behavior. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Not consistent, IMO. That's right. The reason is that the machine name is treated as a foreign machine. In theory, this should always generate names with prefixed machine name, but this is an entirely different code path in mkpasswd/mkgroup. I guess this should be fixed. I wouldn't be unhappy about help... I would only fix it back to the old behaviour (mkpasswd -l = no prefix), sorry :-) At my real job we run several build test machines which are members of a domain but use various local test user accounts (with no collision with domain users due to name space rules). Loosing the ability to use prefix-less local user names would break various existing test scripts (which are also used on Linux). Generated emails would have a from address with HOST+USER name part which might give interesting results if the mail system somehow interprets the NAME+EXTENSION address syntax... So there are use cases where prefix-less local user names are needed. This should be still supported, e.g. by mkpasswd -l, IMO. But then... why not keep mkpasswd -L and use that instead? On second thought, it's completely wrong to allow printing local accounts from another machine without prefix. I agree. In theory there should be only one option -l [machine], which prints the local accounts of the current machine unprefixed (standalone machine) or prefixed (domain machine), and always prefixed for a foreign machine. The -L option can just go away. I disgree. Why not keep the old behavior of -l/-L for user names of current machine for those uses cases which rely on it? You are always free to change the passwd/group files manually: $ mkpasswd -l | sed -e 's/^[^:]*+//' /etc/passwd Does a system tool really have to generate a scheme which might lead to collisions? The Administrator account is only one of them: $ mkpasswd -l -d | sed -e 's/^[^:]*+//' | grep Administrator: Administrator:*:197108:197121:U-LOCAL_MACHINE\Administrator,[...] Administrator:*:1049076:1049089:U-DOMAIN\Administrator,[...] Those users who are happy with prefixed local user names and non-prefixed domain user names would simply no longer need to use mkpasswd (which is good). Package search shows 156 usr/bin/*-config scripts. How many of these use mkpasswd? I don't know, but I'm trying to fix up at least the ones I have under control. The other will follow over time. BTW: None of my Linux machines have local user names with own HOSTNAME as prefix :-) Your Linux machines usually don't have to maintain user and group accounts from various account DBs. This is all nice and easy in a single domain scenario, but as soon as you maintain multiple domains, you will have name collisions.

Hi Corinna, As result of Christian Franke's input (what should mkpasswd/mkgroup 'exactly' generate?), I reread the description of mkpasswd at https://cygwin.com/preliminary-ug/using-utils.html It reads: The mkpasswd program can be used to create a /etc/passwd file. Cygwin doesn't need this file, because it reads user information from the Windows account databases, but you can add an /etc/group file should be /etc/passwd, I presume ... for instance, if your machine is often (not uncommon!) disconnected from its domain controller.

Also the (local) privileged username will change.

Most *-config scripts using mkpasswd -l -u USER may need to be changed. Local scripts from Cygwin users which use mkpasswd -l may need to be changed. Scripts tested by maintainers only outside a domain may no longer work inside a domain. An IMO better way would be to keep the old mkpasswd -l behavior and invent a new option for the output with the new non-domain/domain prefix handling. Then a user would be able to opt-in for local users of a domain machine always have a prefix by $ mkpasswd --the-new-local-option /etc/passwd or even simpler: $ /etc/mkpasswd A user could opt-out by simply keeping all everything as-is for now :-) This IMO would provide a much smother migration path.

how to embed shell script within a .BAT file
I'm tired of creating pairs of script files: a clickable .BAT file to invoke my shell script and then my shell script to do the actual work. I was wondering if any of the geniuses on this list have come up with a way to embed a shell script inside a clickable .BAT file. --Ken Nellis -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

It assumes you know the path to the Cygwin bin directory. Passing in arguments would be a bit more work and would probably be somewhat limited unless you have a small number of possible arguments. FYI, I don't have a Windows system readily available anymore, so this is untested.

Re: how to embed shell script within a .BAT file
Do you really need to embed the script *within* the file? It would be straightforward to *invoke* a script from the file by something along the lines of: bash -c script in the .bat file ...

Perl rename
I noticed that Debian is using Perl rename $ readlink -f /usr/bin/rename /usr/bin/prename $ dpkg --search bin/prename perl: /usr/bin/prename However, Cygwin Perl does not include this file. $ gzip -cd /etc/setup/perl.lst.gz | grep prename | wc 0 0 0 I understand that the util-linux version has the benefit of not needing Perl, however if a user decides to install the Perl package, shouldnt they benefit from the Perl rename as well? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Ever since using this 1.7.33-0.x series (currently running 1.7.33-0.5) I've
been having intermittent trouble with one of my scripts, and just finally got
around to digging further today. This is an expect script (subroutine of a
larger system) designed to auto-login to an ssh session and then set the
passwd -R to allow further ssh sessions to have full network powers. (I then
run a cron script which drops these rights off again every half-hour, so the
full network powers logins are time limited.)
The symptoms of the failure are that it sometimes fails to send the ssh
password (and thus doesn't proceed to the passwd -R command at all). If I run
the script a second time, it almost always works on the second try. After some
time has passed I run it again and get a failure, then immediately run again
and succeed. I would appreciate any thoughts as to why such a script would
fail, and then succeed on successive runs. This routine basically never
failed on the previous recent versions of cygwin (in active daily use since
approximately July 1st).
Dave
The script is called like this:
$ super.exp localhost mypasswd
and the file super.exp looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/expect
set mach [lindex $argv 0]
set pass [lindex $argv 1]
spawn ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no $mach
expect -exact password:
send $pass\n
expect {
$ {
send passwd -R\n
expect -exact password:
send $pass\n
expect -exact password:
send $pass\n
expect -exact $
send exit\n
interact
}
Permission denied, please try again. {
send_error The password you provided was invalid.\n
exit 1
}
}
I would try set exp_internal 1 and capture the output somewhere. There
shouldn't be too much for a script this size. You should see the exact failure
point quite easily.
Cheers ... Duncan.

TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 1.7.33-0.8
Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released a 8th TEST version of the next upcoming Cygwin release,
1.7.33-0.8.
Changes compared to the former test version 1.7.33-0.7:
- GCC 4.9.2-1 DLLs accidentally call __cxa_atexit with the wrong DSO
handle value. This Cygwin update allows this scenario throughout.
It now understands *any* DSO handle value, as long as it's a pointer
into the DSO's address space.
This fixes: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-11/msg00122.html
If you don't build applications or DLLs with Cygwin, you can safely
ignore this change.
If you want to help testing this new release (which I seriously hope
for), you can find it in your setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe as
test release.
The major change in this new release is the new method to read account
(passwd and group) information from the Windows user databases directly,
without the requirement to generate /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to
generate Unix-like uid and gid.
For your convenience I wrote new documentation. Since this is a TEST
prerelease, the new documentation is not part of the official docs yet.
Rather have a look at
https://cygwin.com/preliminary-ntsec.html
If you read it
(which I seriously hope for) and it's all just incomprehensible
gobbledygook to you, please say so on the mailing list
cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
so we have a chance to improve the documentation.
Please give this TEST release a try.
If you find problems in the new features or regressions compared to the
current stable release 1.7.32, please report them to the public mailing
list
cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
Following is a list of changes in this new release:
What's new:
---
- Cygwin can now generate passwd/group entries directly from Windows
user databases (local SAM or Active Directory), thus allowing to run
Cygwin without having to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling.
For bordercase which require to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group files,
change mkpasswd/mkgroup to generate passwd/group entries compatible
with the entries read from SAM/AD.
- Add -b/--remove-all option to setfacl to reduce the ACL to only the
entries representing POSIX permission bits.
- /proc/cygdrive is a new symlink pointing to the current cygdrive prefix.
This can be utilized in scripts to access paths via cygdrive prefix, even
if the cygdrive prefix has been changed by the user.
- /proc/partitions now prints the windows mount points the device is mounted
on. This allows to recognize the underlying Windows devices of the Cygwin
raw device names.
- New API: quotactl, designed after the Linux/BSD function, but severely
restricted: Windows only supports user block quotas on NTFS, no group
quotas, no inode quotas, no time constraints.
- New APIs: ffsl, ffsll (glibc extensions).
- New API: stime (SVr4).
- Provide Cygwin documentation (PDFs and HTML) for offline usage in
/usr/share/doc/cygwin-${version}.
What changed:
-
- New internal exception handling based on SEH on 64 bit Cygwin.
- Revamp Solaris ACL implementation to more closely work like POSIX ACLs
are supposed to work. Finally implement a CLASS_OBJ emulation. Update
getfacl(1)/setfacl(1) accordingly.
- When exec'ing applications, check if $PATH exists and is non-empty. If not,
add PATH variable with Cygwin installation directory as content to Windows
environment to allow loading of Cygwin system DLLs.
- Disable CYGWIN dosfilewarning option by default.
- Improve various header files for C++- and standards-compliance.
- Doug Lea malloc implementation update from 2.8.3 to the latest 2.8.6.
- The xdr functions are no longer exported for newly built executables.
Use libtirpc-devel instead.
- atexit is now exported as statically linked function from libcygwin.a.
This allows reliable access to the DSO handle of the caller for newly
built executables. The former atexit entry point into the DLL remains
for backward compatibility only.
Bug Fixes
-
- Per POSIX, dirfd(3) now returns EINVAL rather than EBADF on invalid
directory stream.
- Fix a resource leak in rmdir(2).
- Fix fchmod(2)/fchown(2)/fsetxattr(2) in case the file got renamed after
open and before calling one of the affected functions.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-08/msg00517.html
- Handle Netapp-specific problem in statvfs(2)/fstatvfs(2).
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-06/msg00425.html
- Fix chown(2) on ptys in a corner case.
- Generate correct error when a path is inaccessible due to missing permissions.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2014-10/msg00010.html
- Don't hang in accept calls if socket is no listener. Set errno to EINVAL
instead.
