Thanks for the awk script and the explanation on how to use it! :) By Windows Admin you mean "Windows Admin Center"? I'm using Cygwin on a laptop (win 7 pro) and sadly, if I'm not mistaking, "Windows Admin" is not available on non-server platform. If I can't find a way to determine when my DNS changes I can clearly emulate an hourly cron job by using "task scheduler".

a Simple Test Case will help to verify the claim.
Full ACK.
connect is not expected to return EPERM
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/connect.html
Cygwin does not explicitely generate EPERM anywhere near
AF_INET/AF_INET6 code. Nor does a Winsock error exist which
gets gonverted to EPERM.
The *only* way to generate EPERM is if an underlying Winsock function
returns an error code not handled by Cygwin. I never encountered
that case, though. Thus, a STC is highly appreciated.
Corinna
Thanks both for your answer and your willingness to look into this.
STC:
1) Have Tor Browser for Windows up and running.
2) Start dirmngr:
$ mkdir ${HOME}/try
$ dirmngr --homedir ${HOME}/try -vvv --debug-all --server --use-tor
-> KS_GET -- 0x6C6ACD6417B3ACB1
Basically, dirmngr should be able to connect to TBB for Windows like it
does on linux and retreave the key.
Let me know if more informations are needed.
I came to this list because the issue seems to come from Cygwin,
according to the discussion at the first URL in this e-mail.

Mutt and gpg 1.4
Hi, When I install 'mutt' through command line '... --packages mutt ...' it works. gpg-1.4.23 is installed as dependency. I rather use gpg4win already installed on my host.

How can I remove gpg-1.4.23 and all related dependencies through command line or how can I prevent, through command line, 'gpg' from being installed when installing mutt? I can say from experience that the two do not mix well. The file permissions and locking between the two distributions of gpg do not lend to coexistence. Rather you should be sure to use an export->import process to keep the two databases in sync. Do not point your Windows GPG port and your Cygwin gpg to the same database. Aside from what I've mentioned in the above, Cygwin mutt is tied to Cygwin gpg via the library interface so you can't get rid of it. You just need to keep the two DB happily in sync which may not be an easy process if both are adding to their DB, you'll need to export both, add the differences to one export and import to both. Reading this thread, and given the fact that "gnupg" is not officially supported on Cygwin. That left me with two options: 1) Use cygwinnized gnupg 2) use gpg4win and enigmail Any thoughts?

Permissions not set for 'other' when copying from Windows
Hi, I'm trying to understand why a copied file from 'C:\' into /home/user/try doesn't have the permissions set for 'other' (see below). The following will create a file named 'try.txt': PS C:\> new-item try.txt -itemtype file Directory: C:\ ModeLastWriteTime Length Name - -- -a---12/17/2018 04:10 PM 0 try.txt PS C:\> Now copying the newly created file using the cp command on Cygwin: user@hostname ~/try $ cp /cygdrive/c/try.txt $PWD/ Now, the touch utility is used to create a file named 'touch.txt': user@hostname ~/try $ touch touch.txt The ls command shows: user@hostname ~/try $ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 user None 0 Dec 17 04:12 touch.txt -rwxr-x--- 1 user None 0 Dec 17 04:12 try.txt When the file is created with the touch utility, the permissions are properly set for 'user', 'group', and 'other' but when the file is copied from outsite of Cygwin only the 'user' and 'group' permissions are set. Obviously, 'other' is not used on Cygwin, everytime the file is SCPed on a linux server the permissions need to be change for 'other' to match the permissions on that server. Why is that so and is there a better way around this? -- John Doe -- 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

One equal sign ('=') should be used instead of two equal signs ('==').

Re: Unable to start Cygwin64 terminal after password change
On 8/3/2021 8:12 PM, Lavrentiev, Anton (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C] via Cygwin wrote: "during user-initiated shutdowns, the kernel, drivers, and services are preserved and restored, not just restarted." Which was why I specifically used "shutdown /r", which is: /r Full shutdown and restart the computer. We've been advised by our admins that this command does a true and full restart of the system, including all the kernel parts of it. If I'm not mistaking, this command has nothing to do with "fastboot". You may want to check with your AD server admins about this possibility. I decided to restart my computer on Saturday, while the password had been changed Thursday afternoon. Meanwhile I was perfectly able to actually _use_ my new password to unlock that very same Windows host, and login to different hosts (as soon as the new password was set, and before as well as after the reboot of my work PC). So the caching theory is not quite substantiated, IMO. You may want to check with your AD server admins about this possibility. I did! And they said: "no new policies were added and no current policies were changed". I repeat it again: my new password was working everywhere I needed to enter Might be better to reword than to repeat again. -- John Doe -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Program files environmental variables
Cygwins, Is there a way to get the value of PROGRAMFILES(x86) and PROGRAMW6432 in Bash: $ echo $PROGRAMFILES; echo "$PROGRAMFILES(x86)"; echo $PROGGRAMW6432 C:\Program Files C:\Program Files(x86) $ cmd.exe /C "echo %PROGRAMFILES% %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% %PROGRAMW6432%" C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) C:\Program Files PROGRAMFILES works in Bash but not the other two.

We have a script where we use this workaround:
PROGRAMFILES86=$(env | sed -ne 's/^ProgramFiles(x86)=//p' )
I never thought using env like this, an alternative using awk:
$ env | awk -F= '/^ProgramFiles\(x86\)/{print $2}'
C:\Program Files (x86)
printenv is even better! :)
Thanks all for your input much appreciated.

PROGRAMW6432 exists in my Cygwin bash, and I know I did not set it What version of Cygwin bash are you using? explicitly. As for the x86 one, parentheses are not allowed in bash variable names. In principle one could set up, say, PROGRAMFILESx86, however no path of that kind is around in my bash. It would be possible to read it out and setup the variable. I found, for example, that this prints out the setting of the variable (but with other gorp you'd have to edit out): echo "echo %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%; exit" | cmd Thank you. -- John Doe -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
