Building /etc/passwd from setup.exe
Domain users have had recurrent troubles with /etc/passwd.
Here is why, and a proposed remedy.
TODAY
The currently released setup.exe verifies if /etc/passwd exists.
If it doesn't, setup creates the file /etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.bat
which contains
bin\mkpasswd -l etc\passwd
That file gets executed during postinstall, creating a passwd file
with only local users.
There is also a package base-passwd with one file,
/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh
#!/bin/sh
type=-l
# if USERDOMAIN isn't empty and
#USERDOMAIN isn't the hostname then we are in a domain
if [ ! -z $USERDOMAIN ] [ $USERDOMAIN != `hostname` ] ; then
# domain user
type=-d
fi
# Should we append rather than replace?
if [ ! -e /etc/passwd ] ; then
/bin/mkpasswd ${type} /etc/passwd
fi
if [ ! -e /etc/group ] ; then
/bin/mkgroup ${type} /etc/group
fi
**
That file has no effect if it runs after passwd-grp.bat, because
then the passwd file already exists. I have observed that order,
I don't know if it's deterministic.
So that's why domain users are not included, and why they are included
if they delete /etc/passwd and rerun /etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh.done
after setup, as has been suggested on the list.
SOON
On 2002-11-26, setup has been modified and doesn't create passwd-grp.bat
anymore. Consequently passwd-grp.sh will have an effect if passwd doesn't
exist initially. However that will create another set of problems:
1) If the cases of $USERDOMAIN and `hostname` differ, local users will
execute mkpasswd -d
2) Domain users will not execute mkgroup -l nor mkpasswd -l, so they will
be missing the local groups (Users, ...) and future logins of local
users will see HOME = / .
3) mkpasswd -d will contact the PDC, which may or may not succeed, and which
has been reported to take hours to complete. That's dangerous in a
postinstall script.
SUGGESTION
It seems desirable to
- have local users and groups always appear in /etc/passwd and /etc/group
- avoid contacting the PDC in postinstall scripts
- insure that the user running setup.exe is always included in /etc/passwd
Thus I suggest adding a switch --current (-c) to mkpasswd and to change
passwd-grp.sh to
***
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -e /etc/passwd ] ; then
/bin/mkpasswd -l -c /etc/passwd
fi
if [ ! -e /etc/group ] ; then
/bin/mkgroup -l /etc/group
fi
***
The -c switch would produce a line about the current user if he is a
domain user, without contacting the PDC (using only internal info).
That arrangement will guarantee that the user installing Cygwin will always
have a sane passwd file. Domain users may have group unknown, but this has
no negative side effects. This will cover most cases.
Of course, to perfect the environment, domain users should also run
mkgroup -l -d while they are connected to the PDC, and run
mkpasswd -l -d if they need to know about other domain users.
They can do that at their leisure.
Comments? Suggestions? I volunteer to add -c.

This ``$type'' should only poll for the current user in the domain. I
and my company would be very upset if I polled for 10's of thousands of

Re: XDMCP on Windows 95
I just found out that if I do: xwin -fullscreen -depth 32 on the win95 machine, XFree fails to start. It only works when I set the depth to 8.

See the X Display Manager Control Protocol specification for more information. -query host-name Enable XDMCP and send Query packets to the speci- fied host. -broadcast Enable XDMCP and broadcast BroadcastQuery packets to the network. The first responding display man- ager will be chosen for the session. -indirect host-name Enable XDMCP and send IndirectQuery packets to the specified host. -port port-num Use an alternate port number for XDMCP packets. Must be specified before any -query, -broadcast or -indirect options.

Re: XDMCP on Windows 95
Well, do you have any VPN software installed on the Windows 95 machine, or have you previously had some VPN software installed on that machine? A lot of the VPN programs replace many of the networking files and they are usually incompatible with Cygwin/XFree86. Some of those programs cause problems with Cygwin/XFree86 even when they are not running. A smaller number of these programs do not remove their networking files that they replaced when they are uninstalled, so they permanently make the machine incompatible with Cygwin/XFree86. There is no inherent reason why XDMCP would not work with Windows 95, so I think there is something going on with the software that has been installed on that machine.

OT: W32 programming with Cygwin
Hi all I've got Cygwin installed on my W2k system and would like to start programming GUI applications using GNU C/C++. I'm well experience in the language, it's just the Windows part of it I know nothing about. I'm pretty skint so ?30 for a book on programming is not possible at the moment. Has anyone seen any good programming references on the web? I've made a quick search but only seemed to find references to more books on the subject. Can't believe there are no programming tutorials specifically for W32 out there so I must be looking in the wrong place...

RE: setup troubles: Download incomplete
Thanks Larry, Disk space could still be the problem. Depends on what you still need to download and how big it is. ok. I'll try to clean up more. A funny error message though. Here's another funny error message: After answering the question Download incomplete: do you want to try again? with no, setup starts to install the packages that it already got. I then get the occasional dialog box Can't open (null) for reading: No such file Needless to say, I've never seen that before, so it's probably because a file wasn't downloaded correctly because of my lack of disk space. Looks to me that a 0 pointer is passed to sprintf though... On the disk space front, can anyone tell me why setup stores copies of files in subdirectories named after the mirror. This means that I end up with several copies of the same .tar.bz2 files, as I often have to switch mirrors (they seem to be very busy once in a while). If you're really looking for details, check the email archives on this. The reason for the differing directories, what they contain, and even utilities for cleaning them up have been discussed before. However, you should not be ending up with the exact same files from each mirror, at least if you keep your set of mirrors constant. well, I did have multiple copies of the same file.

Cannot dlsym() some symbols from a DLL built with Cygwin
I am having a strange problem with a DLL built with Cygwin (gcc 3.2 200290927 and ld 2.13.90 20021118). I downloaded a package from the Net and built it as a DLL. Then, I wrote to programs, one which linked implicitly with the DLL, and one which linked explicitly (dlopen()ed the DLL, and then dlsym()ed the symbols). No problem with the implicit link. But, with the explicit link, weird things happen: dlopen() succeeds, but most dlsym() fail. The strangest thing is, some dlsym() actually succeed (they return the correct pointer) but most don't (they return NULL)! I tried to build the same DLL with the Micro$oft tools (cl.exe and link.exe), and both programs, unmodified, work! That is, all dlsym() succeed. It seems a bug in Cygwin's ld, the dynamic linker. If you request me, I can send the test programs by e-mail. __ Tiscali ADSL. Scopri la fantastica promozione di Natale: tutto Gratis fino al 9 gennaio!

RE: Is it possible to use centralized passwords with cygwin inetd ?
I guess I was looking for something a bit more dynamic. I understand that I can create entries on my local machine which contain the domain users password. The issue for me is one of centralization. Is there a way I can bypass the local /etc/passwd file in order that cygwin directly queries the network resource. To do this I would imagine an exchange similar to the following would have to be seen: brosler@WHEREVER-NT ~ $ telnet brosler-nt Trying 172.27.57.214... Connected to brosler-nt.foobar.com. Escape character is '^]'. CYGWIN_NT-4.0 1.3.15(0.63/3/2) (brosler-nt) (tty0) login: FOOBAR_ENG\brosler password: brosler-nt@BROSLER-nt ~ $ In this instance the /etc/passwd file would NOT contain an entry for this specific user, but rather it would contain an entry for something like U-FOOBAR_ENG\everyone or some such thing which would cause the passwd agent to direct the query to the network instead of at the local passwd file. I mean, inside cisco there's something on the order of 4 employees. In my imediate group there's over 400. The idea that all of them are never going to change their password is ludicrous as well as the nature of having to pull down 400 passwords on a periodic basis (NT reboots are not an unknown :-) As all this password stuff is already accounted for on a network server somewhere in the ether, why not take advantage of it. - Bruce At 10:41 AM 12/6/2002 +, Vince Hoffman wrote: Cygwin fully supports domain users. just run `mkpasswd -d domain name /etc/passwd` on each box.

Trouble compiling a trivial C++ program involving cout

Thanks, -Vineet It is indeed trivial - as of gcc version 3 and later - it conforms to the c++ standard with increased accuracy ... as such the standard library elements are now in namespace std. either std::cout - or a using namespace std directive - will be required for your code to be conforming the c++ standard and thus compile.

shared libstdc++?

But, similiarly to message http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg01815.html I get the problem that it needs a shared libstdc++ in order to create a shaerd library that import libstdc++ functions.

Re: .dll.a, .dll files and other questions
Chris, thanks a lot! http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html seems to be indeed up-to-date! However, I strongly recommend to wipe or update related sections on http://cygwin.com/docs.html, just to avoid future confusions! Now that we straightened that one out, we can get to more interesting questions. I want to build an dll that uses Win32 global hooks. With the dll built under MS Visual Studio, I use dlltool on it to create a .dll.a from it and link it with my app under cygwin, everything works! When I build the dll directly under cygwin (what I really want to do, as I don't have VisualStudio!) using the instructions from http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html, and link it with my app, it does NOT work! Are there any restrictions under cygwin about the kinds of dlls that can be built?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] GNU emacs 21.2-9
GNU emacs 21.2-9 is available. Changes: - applied UNIX patch reported to help recent hang-related problems - switch to built-in malloc (requested by emacs maintainers, supposedly will reduce memory usage) - numerous patches to LISP source for various features in common with Windows emacs - complete recompile of all LISP files The LISP patches have to do with conditionals that test the system type. I went through all such and added cygwin to the places where it obviously belonged, such as: ignore case when completing file names in shell mode, allow directory rename to change case in dired mode, etc. New users please be aware of a couple things: - You will want tty included in your CYGWIN environment variable setting, and probably binmode.

Setup unable to download list of mirror sites -- One possible solution
I had the same problem with cygwin setup - it used to fail in getting the mirrors.1st file from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst . I also found setup.log.full contained line getUrlToStream failed!. I have found that the error maybe caused due to Kazaa Lite - if you use Kazaa lite and use it's supertrick to disable pop-up ads then check the HOSTS file(no extension) located in Windows folder. I found that http://sources.redhat.com was looped back to 127.0.0.1 in my case and that's why got the network error with setup. Once I deleted the line(s) containing redhat's web address, the problem was solved and setup was up and running again.

Re: suitable cygwin subset question
So this all is a prelude to the question: What's the minimum subset of stuff I need to move, and is it necessary to actually run a cygwin installer (for registry setups, maybe???) or will simply putting files in the right place work? Without registry entries, Cygwin won't know where / is - so the only paths that will work are /cygdrive paths. Installing a small set of packages with setup is probably the best option, but if you really don't want to do that, 'mount' should enable you to set the necessary info in the registry. Quite how this could cause Oracle code to hang, though, I have no idea. Max. OK, I did a minimal install on a machine without Cygwin, my program then runs. I then used regedit to delete the two sets of cygnus solutions registry keys, and my program now no longer runs (properly). so, maybe all I need to do is set the right registry keys. Could someone in the know explain to me how to use mount to do that? Thanks!

add explicit extern to your declarations of extern variables, eg:

This is fixed in CVS sources: __attribute__((dllimport)) implicitly adds
extern.

RE: UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory [and side comment on lists]
Hi, pretty new to the list though have been using cygwin for several months now, first under win98, and now under XP. This may have been covered elsewhere -- sorry, but I doubt I will have enough time to read all the archives of all the lists despite what the warnings say about 'do your research for a day or two, first, then if you can't find the answer post it, and very often have your answer in 5 minutes'. I thought the power of networking was that you didn't have to do *everything* yourself, but you used a network of collective knowledge to do more in less time...if each of us had to write the cygwin toolset ourselves...sheesh! But I know the 'sentiment' of having to rehash the same basic questions again and again -- different people have different levels of patience and tolerance for such. Perhaps a 'newusers' list might allow for the repetitious beginner type questions with those with more patience staying on that list to answer possibly repetitive questions. We don't have an MVP bonus-pat-on-the-head program like in the MS-newsgroups. Sorta a smart idea of MS's -- reward users with 'recognition' as MVP's for helping newbies that might otherwise be asking those questions of MS support people. A surreptitious way to recruit free helpdesk volunteers! :-) But to the main point I found creating a shortcut to bash (and calling it 'cygwin') seems to shortcut the need for using cmd.exe. When I use the provided 'cygwin.bat', I end up with a process tree: EXPLORER: CMD.EXE BASH.EXE --- makes sense, shell cmd calls bash.exe -- but I noticed this annoying feature -- if I had pressed 'control-c' sometime during my bash session, then when I hit control-d to exit from bash, CMD would ask do you really want to terminate this BATCH job (y/n)? Of course since it was at the end of the batch file, it didn't matter y or n, but it did requirement me to select an answer and hit return. Being lazy, my first try at getting around this was to put 'start' in front of the call to bash.exe. On WinXP, (and maybe win2k), the default on this has changed from being a call prog; wait to the equivalent of call prog (no wait), so the main cmd.exe would terminate and I'd be left with only BASH.EXE parented by Explorer. However, the purist in me wanted to know why I should call the CMD shell soley for the purpose of calling the bash shell. So..enter latest method: short cut to bash: in properties I have target: C:\root\bin\bash.exe --login -i (root=cygwinroot), and the start-in dir is set to C:\root\bin -- all like the batchfile would have done -- except this is a shortcut used directly by explorer -- no invocation of CMD -- *SO*, answering the original question: you can specify your starting dir as \\Mydomain (or server)\home and end up with your domain home directory (if you have one) or a exported 'home' dir on a local server. Since CMD is never in the picture, no complaints about it not liking UNC paths. I don't have it setup fully yet, but I'm working toward making extensions .sh, .bsh and .bash all invoke the Bash script interpreter just like visual basic or java script are invoked on their shell languages. Then I should be able to just say foobar, where there is a foobar.sh in my path and I believe is should transparently use bash to interpret the results! As an aid in all this, I put the normal cygwin directories in my path (put them in the 'env' path entry in my current user tree -- I might want to have move them to HKLM so it's available for any user, but since I'm my only user right now, it shouldn't make a difference. I like the idea of creating a Bash Here context dir in the same vein as Command Prompt Here as suggested by Troy, but I'd likely try for a registry solution over the scripting solution -- seems more integrated with Winenv. Anyone see any gotchas with my approach? Is there a reason/need for CMD.EXE to stay resident in memory or be called before bash? thanks, newbie Linda -- 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/

control-c problem...known bug?
Somehow, something I've done in my environment seems to cause a problem with control-c handling. A control-c gets sent to any sub-shells and right through 'ssh' -- very annoying: I tried the cygwin X server, but at the time it wanted to own the whole desktop and didn't behave in a civilized manner with other win apps. So, using Exceed's X server, I can start other xterms and get pure X- cut/past semantics in addition to horizontal resizing of the window. However, I notice that if I press 'control-c' in the Cygwin window that started the xterm, the control-c is also sent to the xterm window -- causing whatever is running it the window to terminate as though I'd pressed control-c in that window as well. The xterm doesn't terminate -- just any control-c vulnerable program in the window -- which brings me to the next point. For some reason, on my system, 'ssh' is killed when I press control-c -- rather than passing the ^c onto the remote system, it's processed locally and 'ssh' is terminated: NOT what I wanted! :-( Is there some setting I've unknowingly messed up? stty -a looks like: speed 38400 baud; rows 59; columns 80; line = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^X; eof = ^D; eol = undef; eol2 = undef; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Y; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0; -parenb -parodd cs8 -hupcl -cstopb cread -clocal -crtscts -ignbrk brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon -ixoff -iuclc -ixany -imaxbel opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0 isig icanon iexten echo -echoe -echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop -echoctl -echoke Thanks, Linda -- 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/

RE: UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory [and side comment on lists]
I think you made several overstatements in your observations below. If you recheck the email archives or even the Cygwin web site, I think you'll find clear explanations of the expectations for list inquiries. Simply put, if any poster cannot make a minimal effort to ensure that the issue in question has not already been addressed in the documentation, email archives, or FAQ, it's often hard for those who read the list regularly to feel sympathy for the poster's plight and take the time to respond (though sometimes a response comes anyway. ;-) ) But, if you do find someplace where the statement is made that posters are expected to do *everything* yourself, let us know. That would be an overstatement on our part that should be corrected.

I log on a my domain account on another machine, and my id=500. Can someone explain this? What does cygwin use to determine which user is starting bash? Can I force myself to be administrator.

Re: Is it possible to use centralized passwords with cygwin inetd?
(Send to the list and the sender)... Bruce P. Osler wrote: For starters - I'd like to contribute to the Cygwin love-fest going on. I think Cygwin is an awesome environment with huge benefits for folks working under windows. Today I'm interested in finding out wether I can use networked password services with the cygwin inetd. At work I would like to setup a series of computers with Cygwin tools all of which are running the Cygwin inetd. As there are a couple of hundred engineers in this environment the option of maintaining multiple /etc/passwd files is a bit onerous (if not unreasonable). All of these computers are already hooked into an environment where the user passwords are provided and managed centrally to an NT domain. Is there any way I can have Cygwin/inetd use the central domain password service for authentication? Short answer: Yes. Slightly longer answer: Create a passwd file with mkpasswd -d and store it on a common area. Then symlink /etc/passwd - //commonserver/commonshare/passwd. Normally people worry about symlinking such files as /etc/passwd because it would be hard to boot up and log into the machine if the network were down. But you don't boot up nor log into Cygwin as per se, rather you log into Windows first. You might wish to do this for /etc/group too. You might wish to scriptize mkpasswd to call /bin/mkpasswd then perform some fix ups on the resulting passwd file before making it global. You might wish to develop a script to insure the above symlink(s) are properly in place as well as say mounting //commonserver/homeshare - /home, etc. This is what I do and it works very well. -- 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/

[patch] Symbolic value for PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
Hi,
As discussed with Robert Collins, I propose this patch to make
the 'default' mutex type more explicit.
2002-12-05 Christophe Galerne [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* pthread.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT):
reorder PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT and PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE so that
PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT can be defined as PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE.
add a comment that PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL is not yet implemented.

Re: Latest setup.exe
I tried the beta version Max suggested and it also exhibits the same behaviour on my win2k laptop; i.e. sucks up huge mem (depletes VM), and yet after more than 1 hour of running, it still says 1% of base-files 1.1-1 is installed. The total progress meter shows only about a sliver of progress :) Am running win2K with latest updates (service pack 3).

shared files and fork()
Hi folks, Just a couple of quick questions: The cvs release of Python-2.2.1 (python.org) indicates that there was a problem with implementing shared files (.dlls I assume, could also be .dlls.a files) with fork(). The workaround suggested changed the Python build to generate a static library instead of a shared one in order to correct the problem/bug.. Follows is a couple of excerpts... Cygwin: With recent (relative to the time of writing, 2001-12-19) Cygwin installations, there are problems with the interaction of dynamic linking and fork(). This manifests itself in build failures during the execution of setup.py. [snip] (b) The proper fix is to rebase the Cygwin DLLs to prevent base address conflicts. Details on how to do this can be found in the following mail: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00894.html I heard recently that there was something going on in terms of rebaseing. (Yes, I do follow this email list, lurking most of the time, as well as Cygwin apps mailing lists. I don't always have the time to read every post, even though the term Rebase does stand out.) It was not clear if the .dlls (shared files) for the latest releases of Cygwin are or have been rebased. Also, while on the subject of shared files, and more out of curiousity than anything else, a question for clarification: Does Cygwin support .so files now? Can someone clarify what the rebaseing was actually about?

GNU emacs 21.2-9
GNU emacs 21.2-9 is available. Changes: - applied UNIX patch reported to help recent hang-related problems - switch to built-in malloc (requested by emacs maintainers, supposedly will reduce memory usage) - numerous patches to LISP source for various features in common with Windows emacs - complete recompile of all LISP files The LISP patches have to do with conditionals that test the system type. I went through all such and added cygwin to the places where it obviously belonged, such as: ignore case when completing file names in shell mode, allow directory rename to change case in dired mode, etc. New users please be aware of a couple things: - You will want tty included in your CYGWIN environment variable setting, and probably binmode. Look at the following for some documentation: http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html Joe Buehler *** INFORMATION ON UPDATING CYGWIN *** To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically.
