Cannot connect to posix subsystem

Re: Domain user cannot login
Hello Pierre,
Thank you for your quick reply (and the private mail too!).
Changing gid to 10513 and uid to 112085 did not correct the
problem, but as you stated in the PM changing uid below 64K to
12085 made it:
[magr40@gj2qf0jl]~:{31}:$
Once again, thank you for your replies.

/etc/group.domain does not contain group id 112085,
Why should it? 112085 is the user id. It should only appear in /etc/passwd.
On the other hand the gid 10513 should appear in /etc/group.
Isn't it in group.domain? Why don't you append group.domain to group?
When I double-click on Cygwin icon I get:
Uh? What icon?
[9146@gj2qf0j]~:(1):$ ssh localhost
You don't exist, go away!
That's because ssh doesn't find your uid in /etc/passwd.
Perhaps because you have changed the uid in passwd after
having started cygwin.
Pierre

Hello,

The two issues you mention are unrelated. See below.
It is up and running OK, except that all local users login into
/cygdrive/c instead of /home/userid.
Do you have the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files? If you do, are any of
the local users in /etc/passwd? What is their home directory set to?
Try rebuilding your /etc/passwd and /etc/group:
$ for i in (/etc/passwd /etc/group); do mv $i ${i}-backup; done
$ mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd
$ mkgroup -l /etc/group
and see if you still get that problem.
The length of PATH in DOS is 97 characters, and in cygwin 148
characters:
Path=C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\Program

What have I missed ?
The fact that Cygwin translates the Windows path to a POSIX path using the
mount information. Also the fact that you have Path= as part of the
VALUE of the PATH variable.

Re: Cygwin home dir=/cygwin/c (not /home/userid)
Yes, removing HOME from Windows system variables did it. I thank you all cygwin gurus for support and valuable hints. Pierre A.

It's correct but not particularly elegant as it duplicates what passwd is supposed to be for. I assume HOME is defined as a system variable in the Windows environment and it is the same for everybody. Is there a good reason for that? Otherwise undefine it and everything will be well. For reference, here is how HOME is set, in order of priority - When starting from Windows 1) From existing HOME in Windows environment, translated to Posix 2) If the user has an entry in passwd: a) from passwd, if the home directory field in non empty b) from HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH 3) / - telnetd and rlogind 1) From passwd, if it is a valid directory 2) / - sshd 1) From passwd, even if it is invalid. In that case /etc/profile may actually create it. Note that in all those cases HOME is never set in /etc/profile !

Re: How do I start two commands in .bat ?
Igor, My deepest apology for not following the rules of this list. I just say: mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Yes, I have followed your suggestions in your earlier reply: rem @echo off start VNC /DC:\Program Files\RealVNC /B vncviewer.exe C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i -c ssh -L 5901:derqjzp:5900 -C isoft@derqjzp vncviewer.exe does start vncviewer.exe and shh. The only problem left is, that the ssh window is in background, and vncviewer window is in foreground, so I have move the ssh window to the foreground. Then I enter the isoft's password, switch to the vncviewer window, and establish vnc to derqjzp. Is it possible to make the ssh window to the foreground ? Your second suggestion: @echo off chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i -c (/cygdrive/c/program\ files/realvnc/vncviewer.exe ); ssh -L 5901:derqjzp:5900 -C isoft@derqjzp starts the vncviewer only. The ssh window does not appear at all. When I connect to localhost:1, I get the following error: Failed to connect to server. bash --login -i -c ssh -L 5901:derqjzp:5900 -C -N isoft@derqjzp ; (/cygdrive/c/progra~1/realvnc/vncviewer.exe ) yields the same error. Any more hints ? Igor Pechtchanski wrote: Did you follow up on the original hint (help start)? If you did, you would have come up with: @echo off chdir C:\cygwin\bin start C:\Program Files\realvnc\vncviewer.exe bash --login -i -c ssh -L 5901:derqjzp:5900 -C isoft@derqjzp As for backgrounding the program in bash, you should do it *before* you start ssh: @echo off chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i -c (/cygdrive/c/program\ files/realvnc/vncviewer.exe ); ssh -L 5901:derqjzp:5900 -C isoft@derqjzp Either of the above should work. For the future: the cygwin at cygwin dot com is really the only cygwin list even remotely appropriate for this kind of query. Also, if you start a thread on a mailing list, it's usually a good idea to continue that thread to its logical conclusion, as well as make sure the final solution is in the list archives (it will be in this case).

Try running setup, put everything at keep, then go to just the 'cygwin' package itself and select reinstall. That ought to get the latest cygwin dll on your system, then you can run setup again a second time and let it upgrade whatever other packages need updating. There are still some bugs in setup where updating both the main cygwin dll and other packages at the same time causes it to get confused, I'm not sure if you hit one of those cases or not.

Now, I would like to send a mail using ssmtp, but I do neither find the required info in 'man ssmtp' nor in /usr/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.38.7/ More hints will be greatly appreciated. echo test|ssmtp -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] The To: field is empty. How do I set it ? The Subject: field is empty. How do I set it ? How do I send a file ? Forget about ssmtp! Really. As you just realize it's not easy to use and if you want to send files it's not useable at all, since it has a limit of mails = 4k size. Use either blat, which is really a cool tool and should work fine under cygwin too. It has all you need, is stable, reliable, just great software. Or if you like to have something more like a real sendmail-wrapper (just forwarding), you can easily write your own small wrapper in perl or python, which will be better than ssmtp in just a few lines of code... I can send you mine as an example, if you're interested.

Re: How to use ssmtp ?
Jason, As I do not intend to send mail 4K and just to one recipient, please post an example stating how to send a file.

But it's not possible to send mails like this: $ mailfile -adr [EMAIL PROTECTED] curl-7.9.8.tar.gz sendmail: Header too large Max is 4000 characters The program 'mailfile' wraps up the mail including attachment and calls ssmtp via ssmtp.exe -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] MAILTEXT That's why it's quite unusable for that kind of sending mails. sendmail or even a small python script using smtplib has no problem sending such mails.

Re: ssh-host-config requires cygminires.dll
Hello Igor, Pardon me for my ignorance about not ataching the cygcheck output. I have run Cygwin setup.exe once again, and fetched installed minires and the new versions of openssh/openssl. The following ssh-host-config -y ended OK, so I tried to start the sshd service: cygrunsrv -S sshd and got the same error as before: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062: The service has not been started.

Where do I find cygminires.dll ? As always, the Cygwin package search page at http://cygwin.com/packages has the answer. Install the minires package. However, you shouldn't have to, because openssh requires minires anyway. Did you, by chance, unselect it when you installed openssh via setup?

Otherwise the service can't get started at all. That isn't telling to you use -D on the cygrunsrv command line directly. It means that the sshd arguments should contain that parameter. I.e. you must include -D in the setting of the -a parameter, such as cygrunsrv -I sshd -d CYGWIN sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a -D -D is not a cygrunsrv option, it is the predicate of the -a option. ssh_host_*_key.pub are owned by the user that has run ssh-host-config Is it OK ?

Hello Larry, Thank you for your reply. I have read (and reread) the mentioned post and all following posts. The proposed solution is to create a local mirror, and let it be included into the list of available mirrors during execution of Cygwin setup.exe I would like to have a setup.exe that allows the installer to install all packages from the local mirror only and not let the installer choose which packages to install (as is done with Cygwin setup.exe). Another solution would be to create my own setup.exe, if I do know what Cygwin setup.exe does. Can you provide that information ?

Regards, Marek Alexander Gottwald skrev: On Mon, 2 May 2005, a12 wrote: Password: Whatever I entered as the password, the password question reappeared, and eventually the ssh window was closed. When I installed Cygwin ssh, I did not use any password. Any hints ? You are connecting to the sun server and must provide the password from the sun server. most likely the same as with telnet bye ago
Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
Hi, When I enter in the PC window: ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get a request for password, and I am logged into the Sun host. Then I start the graphical application in the Sun host, and I get the following error message: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). So I checked the DISPLAY variable, and as it was set to 'localhost:10.0', I changed it to 'a.b.c.d:10.0', and restarted the application in the Sun host. A while later, I got the following error message: *** OI_init: Error, cannot connect to X server ntc: couldn't open a connection to a X server ntc is the name of the graphical application. As far as I understand, ntc cannot connect to a X server. Any hints ?

But using root for doing non-administrative tasks is a high security risk. xterm -e ssh -Y userid@sun-host sun-host What does this mean: - start xterm (in the background) - in xterm start ssh to host sun-host with user userid - on sunhost start command sunhost the last part is the problem $ xterm -e ssh -Y userid@sun-host should work much better xterm -e ssh userid@sun-host -Y sun-host replied to the password request, and the X window from the Sun server closed too. after ssh failed, the xterm is closed because it was not interactive. You should try starting ssh from the cygwin prompt first. This will keep the error message. open cygwin prompt $ ssh userid@sun-host -Y sun-host Oops this should be $ ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] or like mentioned above $ ssh -Y -l userid sun-host bye ago

Re: Cannot access Sun server via VNC

It seems you're out of luck. XDMCP is a strange protocol and esp. network address translation (as used with VPN) will complicate the process. You'll have to use ssh with X11Forwarding bye ago

Re: Cannot connect to a Sun server using xterm
