If you're accessing the share via /cygdrive, create a distinct mount point for it. I know what change in Cygwin is causing that problem, but unfortunately I could never reproduce the server share settings myself which result in the permission denied. I know this an old thread but I am in exactly the same situation as the OP. Access with 1.7.7 and before worked fine, 1.7.9 has this problem. The workaround with explicit noacl option works for me but it is rather awkward as I have to work with a lot of servers. So... ... If you want to discuss this with your admin, the problem is this: When Cygwin 1.7.9 tries to create a file on a filesystem which supports ACLs, it requests WRITE_DAC permissions in the open call. WRITE_DAC is the access right you need to create the permission bits in the file's ACL, what you see in Explorer under the Security tab. Now, in some environments, the settings of the shares are so, that this right is apparently not granted, even for the creator of the file. But, as far as earlier reports go, there seem to be no indication of this in the ACL. As I mentioned above, I experimented with this myself, but I have never managed to reproduce this setting on the server. So I neither know how this setting looks like, nor if there's a way to recognize such a share. So, for the time being, I will change this in Cygwin for the next version so that it doesn't request WRITE_DAC permissions when trying to create a file or directory on a network share. ...has this happened now? In a snapshot? I couldn't find any further information.

So I can suppose that there is no service running and no process is blocking the cygwin folder, but why I can't delete it? Somebody has an idea? How are you trying to delete C:\cygwin? Windows won't let one remove a folder if it is the current working directory of any process. An easy mistake in Windows Explorer is to have C:\cygwin as the working directory when trying to delete it from the left panel directory tree. I'd try using Windows Explorer, going to C:\, and deleting from there. Another approach would be re-booting (a) into safe mode or (b)at least keeping things from automatically loading. (I forget exactly how to do the latter so I just hold down shift, alt, and control when booting - one of them works.) If the person is available, you might ask whoever gave you the computer (and presumably installed cygwin) for help or advice. Please excuse me if you've already tried any of the above. The email string suggests that you might have tried some, but it is not clear to me.

Re: Mapping underline to colour - how is the colour determined?

I guess this different has nothing to do with the man command, but by the way the terminal definition says how render emphasized words. Since the Windows console (likely) can't underline, colouring is used. It's kind of a terminal property. Do I understand this correctly? Yep. I would like to understand, where this mapping to a certain colour is done. Reason is that the colour used for my Windows console window, is a bit hard to read and I would like to change it. It's hardcoded in the Cygwin DLL (in winsup/cygwin/fhandler_console.cc), so you'd have to build that yourself to change it. Getting man/groff to use something other than the underline attribute might be the better approach, but I don't know how to do that. Andy The Graphic Rendition of the text is controlled by a facility called Terminfo. Here's how you can change it. First, do: printenv TERM This should display cygwin as the terminal type. If not, replace cygwin in the following instructions with whatever terminal type you are using. The terminfo files are stored under /usr/share/terminfo. If you look there you will see several subdirectories with one and two-character names. Each terminfo entry is stored in a subdirectory which corresponds to the ASCII value of its first character in hex, so the cygwin file is in the 63 directory. You will also find a copy under the c directory, but that's not the one the system uses. I presume that the one-character directories are for backwards compatibility. Make a backup copy of the cygwin file so you can restore the original functionality in case you mess things up. Now go create a new working directory somewhere, perhaps under your home directory. In there, type: infocmp cygwin cygwin.txt This will convert the binary terminfo file from /usr/share/terminfo/63 into a text file you can examine and edit. Edit the file with the text editor of your choice and locate the capabilities smul and rmul. smul specifies the escape sequence that will be used to introduce underlined characters, and rmul is the sequence that turns this mode off. Set these values to whatever produces the effect you desire. (More on this below.) After editing the source file, type: tic cygwin.txt This compiles the source file back into the binary format and overwrites the original binary file in /usr/share/terminfo/63. There are ways to redirect it to another directory, but I'll leave you to figure that out for yourself. (man tic) Now run the man command and see if it produces the effect you want. As for how to figure out what escape sequence to use, unpack the attached file sgr_options,txt and cat it in the desired terminal window. Use cat rather than less or any other program that will filter the file contents. This will show you the effects of the different options to the SGR (Set Graphic Rendition) escape sequence. For rmul just use \E[0m which turns off all modes. \E[1m [1mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[2m [2mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[3m [3mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[4m [4mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[5m [5mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[6m [6mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[7m [7mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[8m [8mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[9m [9mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[10m [10mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[11m [11mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[12m [12mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[13m [13mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[14m [14mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[15m [15mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[16m [16mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[17m [17mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[18m [18mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[19m [19mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[20m [20mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[21m [21mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[22m [22mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[23m [23mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[24m [24mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[25m [25mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[26m [26mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[27m [27mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[28m [28mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[29m [29mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[30m [30mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[31m [31mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[32m [32mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[33m [33mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[34m [34mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[35m [35mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[36m [36mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[37m [37mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[38m [38mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[39m [39mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[40m [40mThe quick brown fox...[0m \E[41m [41mThe quick brown
Re: Invoking GUI programs over SSH

I originally had openssh 5.8 and recently updated to 5.9. SSH to the windows machine works fine for the most part, except for the fact when I try to launch our build tool, which pops up a GUI, it doesn't work anymore. We have a much older XP machine running Cygwin 1.5 which works, but this new machine is running Win7 64-bit w/ Cygwin 1.7 openssh 5.9. The quick test is to ssh into the cygwin machine and run notepad. Like the previous poster, I can see the process running, but nothing on the console. I tried the recommended step of adding Interactive Logon rights using the editrights tool, but I didn't see how the poster was able to use the Services GUI to add Allow service to interact with desktop for a regular user. Only the LOCAL SERVICE user has that option in the GUI. 1) Is the editrights -a SeInteractiveLogonRight -u ssh-admin command the same as checking the Allow service to interact with desktop? 2) The poster also didn't seem to indicate which version of openssh. I found another discussion that mentioned that this capability worked with openssh 5.1: http://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2011-April/029490.html Is this capability no longer possible/suported? MS has changed it support for this functionality. They feel this is a security hole (and it is not completely improper to view it this way) so they've changed how this works. In its current incarnation, it's much harder to get this to work the way it used to. There's an entire KB article that someday I'm going to look up and bookmark so that I have it available when these kinds of inquiries come up on the list. ;-) So if you really want to dive into the guts of the new implementation with all its new restrictions, I'd recommend looking for that KB article. Given the current support for this feature from MS, I think it's fair to say that making this work the way it used to for the limited cases where it may still be useful, even if it's possible, isn't a priority for Cygwin right now. I'd summarize the state of affairs this way - if you're looking for a simple recipe that will make this magically work the way that it used to, you're not going to find it here. If that's not entirely discouraging for you, then I'd say take a look around at what's in the mail archives and the details of how MS says this can work now. If you're willing to accept the new restrictions and if you're a bit savvy, you may find a way to make your situation work for you. If so, we'd be interested in hearing what you found. :-) As for your first question, editrights != Allow service to interact with the desktop. cygrunsrv's -i flag would be the closest matching control in the Cygwin world, with the same caveats as I mentioned above. -- Larry _ A: Yes.

Re: Remove cygwin

One of those software is cygwin, I tried to follow the instructions but without success. 1. I can't locate the cygrunsrv: there is no file with this name and there is no command in the bash shell with this name! I have also checked the windows services but I can't find any of the mentioned services: sshd, cron, cygserver, inetd, apache, postgresql, etc 2. I can't delete the cygwin folder because I receive the Permission Denied error, although I have marked all the files as not read only and changed the ownership to my account. Can somebody help me out? Thanks I'm not sure it applies in your case, but sometimes (and this happened to me under Windows 7), when you have folders or files, or maybe a whole disk, that are from an older installation so to speak, it can be hard to remove such files. I had that happen to me when I took a disk from an another computer that wasn't formatted and had cygwin on it among other things. I could not delete the cygwin folder even though I was running as admin. I solved it by running two commands (and here the old cygwin folder I wanted to delete was located on e:\cygwin): First, take ownership of all files (recursively): $ takeown /F E:\cygwin /R Then, change permissions recursively: $ icacls E:\cygwin /grant Administrators:F /t after that I could remove those files and folders from that secondary disk. Maybe it doesn't apply for you, I'm not sure about that, and use with care, but I hope it helps. - EL -- 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
Updated: binutils-2.22.51-1
I've made a new version of binutils available for installation. This is a refresh against CVS. The contents of the NEWS file for this snapshot are in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/binutils-2.22.51-1.README . The main reason for the release is to pull in Dave Korn's changes as discussed here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-09/msg00386.html *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If you need more information on unsubscribing, start reading here: http://sourceware.org/lists.html#unsubscribe-simple Please read *all* of the information on unsubscribing that is available starting at this web address.
