I've been watching the groups, Google, and so forth with little luck to
resolving the issue seen by myself and a few other people:
$ rlogin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
9617 [main] rlogin 5392 e:\cygwin\bin\rlogin.exe: *** fatal error -
couldn't dynamically determine load address for 'rcmd' (handle
0x75E70000), Win32 error 127
Hangup
So I finally did some research myself. I don't have a solution, but i have
another name for the problem!
Error code 127 is the 'procedure not found' code in Win32. I searched
through the code and the DLLs involved, and found that ultimately, rlogin
is looking for 'rcmd' in mswsock.dll (linked through wsock32.dll). The
'rcmd' export is clearly available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (the two
other versions I checked), and conspicuously absent in Vista. (Checked
with depends.exe).
The only thing I could find on the development list was a note from July
by Corinna Vinschen that there was work in progress towards replacing
the winsock calls -- looks like we're going to need that for Vista.
I'm not looking for support, just sharing the results of my research in
hopes of making the problem less mysterious. I guess not many people use
this functionality (but I use it daily in my work! ;) )
