RE: SSH key authentification problem

2004-01-19 Thread Mark Himsley
On 19 January 2004 12:06 +0100 Marc Poppleton wrote:

 The problem's probably on the server end. It must be configured to
 accept pubkey auth, as well as having your public key installed
 properly.  You can see that the client tries pubkey but it's not
 accepted.
Yes, this is what it looks like to me.

 So, none of us are mindreaders here, and we have zero information about
 the configuration details of your sshd, which isn't even running
 Cygwin... So, don't don't be surprised if you are underwhelmed with
 help.
Well, concerning running Cygwin, I get the same results when I type the
same commands via the Cygwin Bash shell.
The point at issue here is that the ssh server (sshd) is on a Linux box, 
not Cygwin, and about which we know nothing.

You have already said that your Linux box's admin is not available today. 
Perhaps you should wait till you can get help from her/him. (S)he will be 
able to look at log files etc to find out why the connection from the 
Cygwin ssh client (ssh) is failing. It might be a configuration issue on 
the Linux sshd server, or the public key in your account on the Linux 
server may not have the correct permissions (or may be missing).

There is not a lot else the Cygwin list can help with as it appears from 
the verbose output you previously posted that the Cygwin ssh client is 
doing exactly what it should and the problem lies with the Linux sshd 
server.


Concerning the zero information about the configuration, did I mention
that I'm a total newbie to this subject, and therefore encline not to
know what would be useful information?
So, what would you need to know in order to provide me with more
overwhelming information ? ;)

Yes, of course: man ssh_config - the first sentence.
Try sshd_config since it is, after all, the daemon that you want to 
configure rather than the client.

Linking with zlib

2003-09-24 Thread Mark Himsley
I'm sorry if I sound ignorant but I've been looking at this problem for a 
few days and I'm lost. I have googled but failed to find a relevant answer.

I have been trying to compile mergelog http://mergelog.sourceforge.net/ 
(or more importantly zmergelog which is built from the same source file) 
under Cygwin.

Zmergelog is a fairly simple program to merge gziped Apache log files. It 
uses zlib to open and read the gziped files.

Mergelog's configure script appears to find that I have zlib installed but 
when I get to make zmergelog the link fails with undefined references to 
_gzopen _gzread and _gzclose.

I would be really grateful if someone could give me a hint how to compile 
zmergelog under Cygwin.

The output of the configure / make session and also cygcheck are attached.

Many thanks in advance.

Setup reinnstall cygwin and uw-imap-imapd packages

2003-09-14 Thread Mark Himsley
I've just done an update of Cygwin using setup v2.340.2.5.

While setup was uninstalling uw-imap-imapd a pop-up appeared with the title 
of sh.exe saying The Dynamic link library cygwin1.dll coulc not be found 
in specified path C:\cygwin\bin;.;C:\WINNT\system23...

My hypothesis from reading the section of setup.log (attached) is that 
since setup was updating cygwin and some other packages it had removed 
cygwin1.dll and then it tried to uninstall uw-imap-imapd which has an 
uninstall sh script which could not run because cygwin1.dll has already 
been removed.

The uninstall of uw-imap-imapd tries to run /etc/preremove/uw-imap-imapd.sh 
which removes sym links. The postinstall script replaces the links no 
matter what so there is no harm done.

It appears that there is a logic problem if setup can remove cygwin1.dll 
and then continue to try to run cygwin applications. If setup is to be 
idiot proof then maybe this logic needs a little attention.

Thanks to everyone who is involved in creating and enhancing Cygwin. It is 
a fantastic utility set which I have used since b19 and it is always 
getting better!

k and m in rxvt have stopped working since upgrade to 2.8.4-3

2002-12-24 Thread Mark Himsley
Dear all,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I appear to have a very strange problem.

Since I did an update this morning, which installed lynx 2.8.4-4 and rxvt
2.7.9-3, the letters 'k' and 'm' do not appear when typed in rxvt. Shift 'K'
and shift 'M' work fine, its just the lower-case versions that do not
appear.

I wondered whether there was a problem with my inputrc, so I commented
everything that was in there but that didn't help.

Having rolled back to rxvt 2.7.9-2 the keys work again. It therefore appears
that the scrollbars=rxvt+NeXT+xterm option stops those keys from working.

Thanks for listening. I hope this report can help someone cure this bug.
Once again, I hope you're having a happy Christmas eve / Christmas day
depending on your time zone.

I conclude that this crypt is designed to only print out a key for a given

Am I correct?

yes

If so, what is this utility generally used for?

It is generally used for creating the one-way crypt of a password used in
unix /etc/passwd files or Apache on Unix authentication files. The cygwin
version also allows the passing of a salt. Both the password and the salt
must be passed on the command line and not on stdin, the resulting crypt is
available on stdout.

Its very easy to knock your self up a crypt. Perl has a crypt function so it
should be very easy to create a crypt that takes the plain text password on
stdin. It would also very easy to do in 'C' (although it appears that mcrypt
will do the job).

Re: crypt command

2002-03-24 Thread Mark Himsley

It appears that the `crypt` from your unix is different from the `crypt`
package in cygwin and they are both different from the `crypt` in the Linux
installs I have. Why not try to find the source from your version and
compile it your self, or even write your own version?

  That is correct in this little-endian platform, see

 I can understand what you are saying if I interpret it to mean that
 the hex storage values on my machine WindowsNT - which I assume from
 you message is a big-endian platform - are faithfully represented
 by the output from the od -bcx display.

In case you misinterpreted what I said and did not read the URL I listed,
your Intel machine is little-endian. If you don't know what a 'short' is or
do not understand the difference between a 'short' and a 'byte' or you don't
understand the difference between a big and a little endian platform is then
I suggest you do some research. 

  I think they should be 4854 5450 000a.
  
  Only if you were on a big-endian platform.

What then surprises me is that the octal representation of this
same storage is 110 124 124 120 which is what I would expect.

Yes, because the octal and the ascii been split into the byte values
therefore they must be in the correct order. What you are looking for is a
byte sized hex representation (as opposed to the shorts which are obviously
confusing you).

It seems to me that you are suggesting that the only correct
representation of the hex storage values would require od to
ouput an ascii value of THPT.

Where exactly did I say that?

I urge you to reconsider your opinion and to modify od to 
output 4854 5450.

If you want to modify your copy of od then do so. If you feel like it then
send a patch to the maintainer (not me). You can urge me to reconsider what
every you like but since I understand the output of od and I did not write
it your urges will have no affect on me what-so-ever.

More over, this whole discussion has no relevance that I can see to cygwin
and therefore I urge you to discuss this issue with the appropriate people
through the appropriate channels.

But,
I CAN NOT USE ONE OF THE MAIN DEVELOPMENT TOOLS -- CVS,
because cvs co -r tag is not working under Cygwin!!!

I tried a  cvs co -r mytag myproj and receive the following:

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open directory .../CVS/mypoj/Attic: Not a
directory

Is it impossible to checkout a tag or revision if module doesn't
contain Attics?

Assuming that the CVS client is running under cygwin, you do not say if the
CVS server is also running under cygwin or the method you are using to
connect to the CVS server.

Re: cygwin console

2002-01-08 Thread Mark Himsley

rxvt is probably what you are looking for. It is a stand-alone app and does
not require X to be installed. It has its own package so you may have to
install it via setup.exe.

Other alternatives are, for instance, installing sshd or inetd and using
your favourite ssh/telnet client to connect to localhost or installing X and
using one of the X terminals.

Hi all

Here's another newbie question.. I could find no help in the FAQ for
this:

Are there any better cygwin consoles out there that the default one
that's installed off the web ? It's rather limited and slows down
development :(. I'd love something with a scrollback history for
instance, or simply more displayed lines.

Thanx

I think we'd all be grateful if you could stop sending HTML/GIF files to the
recipients on this list!

Hmm trying to follow the install procedure for Xfree86 and bunzip isn't
happening. Is this a separate compression app I need to install?  Also is
cygwin blending in with my local windows environment, I right clicked in the
cygwin box and got a lot of registry info and other stuff as a response to
the mouse click.

Maybe more information from you would elicit a reply. I'm sure that you
understand that isn't happening and got a lot of registry info and other
stuff does not give the list members much to go on and therefore I expect
your request for help will go un-heeded.

I have this Perl script under Cygwin

it fails iu-config is the cygwin script shell(/bin/sh).
Why?Althought It works when i type iu-config from the bash Cygwin

Your $cmd includes a DOS path and not the correct Cygwin path. Try:

my $cmd=/bin/iu-config;
