call function
In Unix, function can be added in script, e.g.
#!/usr/bin/sh
#
function outmessage
{
echo $1;
:
:
}
#Main
echo Welcome
:
:
outmessage hello amy
outmessage hello peter
:
:
exit 0
I try to call function outmessage in Cygwin, but it
does work,
function:not found
What do I need to change for above script in order to
use function ?
thanks !

Pls. help : passwd - misunderstanding
Sorry that it may have some mis-understanding for my previous posted question. In this mail, I describe my problem in more detail. Cygwin 1.3.3 is installed in a normal win 2000 advanced server A (SP2). Server A connected to Domain, but it is not DC. Local users are created in Server A. passwd and group files are created by, $ mkgroup -l /etc/group $ mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd When I telnet to server A (by Cygwin) with local users account and change password, $ passwd Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters). Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. Old password: local user type old password here Bad password: Too short. After I typed passwd, it prompts me to enter old password. After I enter old password correctly, it shows bad password: too short. 1. Why does it display for Enter the new password before Old password, is this correct sequence? 2. There is no place for me to enter New password. I only have place to type old password. 3. After typing old password, it displays Bad password: too short, i am sure my old password typed correctly. Is the error message Bad password alert me that my new password is too short? Actually, I have no place to enter new password. I cannot find reference in archive mail, I don't have any idea. Would you mind give me some hints ? Thanks for your kindly help ! __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Re: cannot change password using passwd command
Hi all, For account policy in both local server and domain server, the minimum character for password is 0. Moreover, I can use user account to change password in w2k GUI (ie. CTRL+ALT+DEL -- change password), with the same set of password tried in Cygwin. I don't want user use the console, so I hope they can change their password using telnet. Is there any setting needed for local user use passwd ? Would you mind to help me ?

That message is generated when the OS returns the error code NERR_PasswordTooShort which means... the password is too short. Your machine has a policy set that the password must have a minimum length, probably. Corinna __ Do You Yahoo!?

In my case, I want to get/put files from w2k advanced server to/from HP-Unix Server. --- Cygwin in w2k HP-Unix --User Mapping by SFU -- /home/UserA /upload/UserA Owner=UserA:GroupA Owner=UserA:GroupA Mode:755 Under /upload/UserA, 755 UserA:GroupA FileOne 755 UserA:GroupA DirOne --- I installed a software Service For Unix 2.0 (SFU) which is used to map userid and group between w2k and Unix. The Unix Server acts as NFS server. I telnet to w2k using Cygwin, logon as UserA and type $cd \\\UnixServer\\upload\\UserA $ls -l rw-r--r-- UserA:GroupA FileOne rwxr-xr-x UserA:GroupA DirOne The ownership is correct, but the mode go wrong. When I type $chmod 755 FileOne The mode of FileOne also 644 shown in Cygwin. 755 shown in Unix. UserA can delete FileOne in Cygwin. Thus I think the ownership is mapped between w2k and Unix correctly. What's wrong with the mode ? Did it related to mapping leak ?

When telnetting into the box you're running in another logon session. You have no access to the mapped drives of the same user when logged on in a desktop session. Workaround: Create a new drive mapping *inside* your telnet session using another drive letter: net use J: But *DON'T FORGET* to release the drive mapping before logging out that very telnet session. Otherwise this drive letter is never ever usable as long as the machine isn't rebooted: net use J: /delete Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Use cygwin service in cluster

The batch file (file.bat) simply is: cd h:\ chown -Rf UserA:GroupA * Can I add this batch file to inetd.exe or somewhere, so it will start with Cygwin ?

Can I change user SID ?
Hi How to change SID in win2k ? I have the following problem: Two w2k Advanced servers installed Cygwin. They used local user account. | Server A || Server B | \ / -- | user C home| | directory | SAN disk ( cluster control -- where the disk go) server A and B run cluster and shared SAN disk. User C home directory are in SAN disk. As using local account, user C has different SID in two servers. E.g. When SAN disk is in Server A ( controlled by cluster), in user C home directory, owner of files are userC:None. When the cluster switch to Server B, the owner of files become 1035:None How can I show userC:None in both servers ? Can I changed SID in w2k or Cygwin ? So User C have the same SID.

cron problem: Can Domain user run cron
Corinna, There are two cases: 1. In domain controller server, both Domain admin and Domain user can run cron correctly. There is no problem 2. But in another w2k server (in domain, but not domain controller), Domain admin run cron correctly . But domain user cannot run cron, error : can't switch user context. I used mkgroup and mkpasswd using parameter -ld. So did domain user run cron in server which is not domain controller ? Did any other suggestion for running cron job in case two. I tried at command for w2k, it did not work as it cannot used by admin only. Thanks again and sorry. ikbea __ Do You Yahoo!?

For passwd file, i only change group of Domain administrator from 10513(None) to 10512 (Domain admin). I also did it in passwd file of domain controller server.

I used mkgroup and mkpasswd using parameter -ld. Care for your /etc/group file as well. It's probably correct on the DC since the domain groups are also local groups for the DC. It's very likely incorrect for a normal domain machine, though. mkgroup -ld /etc/group should help. Corinna __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re-post : cron is not work even tried suggestion in mail list
Hi, Sorry that I have common question on cron. I got cron error : can't switch user context. I have tried the following suggestion in mail list: 1. remove cron and install as SYSTEM $rm -Rf /var/cron $cygrunsrv -E cron $cygrunsrv -R cron $cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -e CYGWIN=tty ntsec $cygrunsrv -S cron The process is running by SYSTEM 2. All files directory under /var are mode = 777; mode of /usr/sbin/cron = 755 ; mode of /etc/group and /etc/passwd = 644 3. $mkgroup -ld /etc/group $mkpasswd -ld /etc/passwd the server installed cygwin is in domain ( but not domain controller), i must use domain user to login and run crontab -e . Thus i used -ld in making passwd and group file. 4. I tested that Domain administrator can use cron job properly. I used cygwin version 1.3.3 in w2k SP2 Advanced server. I know that a new cygwin version is released. However, as my system is in production now, i cannot upgrade the cygwin to the most update version. Or can i only upgrade the cron tool ?
