I got around that by putting all of my XDM and SSH servers' trusted IPs in ZA's trusted zone and made sure Xwin.exe and Ssh.exe were authorized for ZA's trusted zone. In my situation, the relevant IPs are in my LAN, secured by a firewall on my Internet-LAN bridge box, so behind the firewall the security impact is minimal, especially relative to Windows.
ZA config window -> "Firewall" section -> "Zones" tab -> "Add >>" button. -ArielMT (who hopes this helps, and doesn't have XP SP2 yet) On Thu, 19 Aug 2004 14:42:05 -0700 Lester Ingber wrote: > I just installed Zone Labs zone alarm, and an having problems that > suggest similar problems may arise under Cygwin with the coming XP > SP2? > > When I try to start X windows, it fails with the log file below. > This is weird because a ps shows (I opened 2 cygwin non-X to write > this): > PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND > 2084 1 2084 2084 con 1005 14:30:52 /usr/bin/bash > 3160 1 3160 3160 ? 1005 14:30:54 /usr/sbin/cron > 1308 2084 1308 2300 con 1005 14:30:54 /usr/bin/tcsh > 3924 1 4016 3240 con 1005 14:31:18 > /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin 3060 1 4016 588 con 1005 > 14:31:19 /usr/bin/xterm 3740 1 4016 3356 con 1005 > 14:31:20 /usr/bin/xterm > 676 3924 4016 592 con 1005 14:31:22 /usr/bin/sh > 3320 1 3320 3320 con 1005 14:35:31 /usr/bin/bash > 3136 1 3136 3136 ? 1005 14:35:33 /usr/sbin/cron > 2068 3320 2068 1972 con 1005 14:35:33 /usr/bin/tcsh > 3424 2068 3424 252 con 1005 14:35:46 /usr/bin/mutt > 1020 3424 3424 2484 con 1005 14:35:51 /usr/bin/sh > 3712 1020 3424 468 con 1005 14:35:51 /usr/bin/vim > 2576 1308 2576 192 con 1005 14:41:00 /usr/bin/ps > > > Does anyone have any experience with this? > > ------------8<------------ top cut -> bottom > ------------->8------------ > Welcome to the XWin X Server > Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project > Release: 6.7.0.0-12 > > Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > XWin was started with the following command line: > > XWin -unixkill -emulate3buttons -clipboard -multiwindow > -silent-dup-error > > ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens > winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1600 h 1200 > winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning > winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 > (II) XF86Config is not supported > (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more > information winPrefsLoadPreferences: /home/ingber/.XWinrc > winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP > winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed > winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed > winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000007 > winSetEngine - Multi Window or Rootless => ShadowGDI > winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits > per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1600 > height: 1199 depth: 32 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff0000 > 0000ff00 000000ff winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 > 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow > null screen fn RestackWindow > InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init > InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned > InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init > InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned > winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello > winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () > winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello > winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () > MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support > XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to > lack of shared memory support in the kernel(--) Setting autorepeat to > delay=500, rate=31(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000409" > (00000409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type > "4" Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)" > Options = "(null)" > ------------8<------------ bottom cut <- top > ------------->8------------ > > Thanks. > > Lester > > -- > Prof. Lester Ingber [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.ingber.com www.alumni.caltech.edu/~ingber -- "The most humbling achievement of the past millennium, I believe, is the evolution of the simplest form of communication: the written letter. >From courier to post to telegram to fax to email, each advancement has made the awesome power of writing more accessible than ever before." -Ariel Millennium Thornton, Spokesman and Mascot, Thornton 2 Productions
