ZoneAlarm hates email-2.3.0-2
I've been using the new email package to upload my digital photos to my yahoo email account (what else can you do with a 2GB limit?), but it's really slow. Looking in the task manager I see that when I'm using email (email -s "description" -b -a "filename.jpg" [EMAIL PROTECTED]) the vsmon process takes my CPU usage upto 100%. vsmon is the firewall process for ZoneAlarm. Strange. When I email the photo's using outlook express it doesn't behave like that. I've tweaked every setting I can think of in ZonaAlarm to try to improve the performance (like adding my SMTP server as a trusted host and lowering my security) but I've not managed to alter the behaviour at all. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Can anyone hazard a guess as to what ZoneAlarm's problem is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since passwordless authentication is broken on many cygwin systems I use, I end
up using the following expect script (more frequently that I would like). By
populating the user and passwd arrays for various hosts, this script can be used
to access arbitrary remote hosts.
--- remoteLogin ---
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set user(myHostName) "Administrator"
set passwd(myHostName) "mySecretPassword"
log_user 0
set timeout -1
set host [file tail $::argv0]
if {[llength $argv] == 0} {
spawn ssh $user($host)@$host
} else {
spawn ssh $user($host)@$host [join [lrange $argv 0 end]]
}
match_max 10
expect {
-re "ssh: connect to host .* port 22: Connection refused" {
send_user "Connection to port 22 on $host refused.\n"
exp_exit 1
}
-re "ssh: connect to host .* port 22: Connection timed out" {
send_user "Connection attempt to port 22 on $host timed out.\n"
exp_exit 1
}
-exact "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? " {
send "yes\r"
exp_continue
}
-exact " password: " { send -- "$passwd($host)\r" }
}
expect "\r" # eat the RETURN after entering the password
if {[llength $argv] == 0} { # interactive
expect {
-glob "Connection to * closed." {
send_user "Connection to $host has spontaneously closed.\n"
exp_exit 1
}
-exact "Permission denied, please try again." {
send_user "Password not accepted.\n"
exp_exit 1
}
-exact "\r" ;# continue if error not encountered
}
log_user 1
expect -re "(\\$|\>) "
interact { "\004" { close; wait; exit } }

But this bash shell is running in a X window. You would need an X Window to run X applications. Do you have X applications that you need to use? The main reason I have cygwin installed is to have access to a power command line environment. I don't need an X window for this. Although cygwin does provide an X environment, it does not really offer a complete suite of X applications. You can browse the X11 category of the setup program to see what X applications cygwin provides. You'll see that WindowMaker, fvwm and xwinwm are there, along with a nestful of core applications. But it is not an overflowing repository of X/KDE/GNOME applications. I think the main reason to run cygwin is for the command line and to have access to X applications that run on real *nix boxes. When you say you want to learn "Linux", what do you really mean? You would like to learn some Linux applications? Many Linux applications have Windows versions (eg, Firefox, Open Office, etc). Maybe you would like to start with those. You would like to learn the command line? That's a good idea. The command line is very powerful and is an important part of mastering Linux. You would like to learn a Linux desktop environment? I'm not sure that this is really necessary. If you were able to migrate from Windows 95 to Windows XP, you can migrate to KDE or GNOME. I'm not sure its necessary to install it on top of cygwin on top of Windows to get practice with it. Go check out TheOpenCD project http://theopencd.sunsite.dk/ . Once you've replaced every windows application that you use with open source (but native windows) varieties, then you can think about switching your desktop environment. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
CPAN module in Cygwin

It looks like it is trying to write to a file owned by

modules as a user?
TIA.

11-csw-cygwin-wrapper-with-no-deplibs.patch
Sometimes, a wrapper script is generated for an executable that, itself, does not link against an uninstalled library. It appears that this can happen if you are building a project where (1) there is a library (2) there is an executable that does not, itself, link against that library In this case, notinst_deplibs is empty, and when the wrapper script is loaded by libtool during ./libtool mode=install, there is a check for "is notinst_deplibs empty". In this case, it is, so libtool reports an error. I don't think it is wrong to have a wrapper script for an exe that *technically* doesn't need it. But instead of checking for notinst_deplib nonempty as a proxy for "did wrapper script get sourced into my environment properly" a different var should be used. For more info, see http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg01321.html and http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg01347.html Attached patch (by Peter Ekberg) has no regressions on cygwin. -- Chuck 2004-10-30 Peter Ekberg * config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_install): set new variable 'generated_by_libtool_version' in wrapper script when libtool_install_magic.

Watching the handles display, I see an open handle on what must be the first *.deb file found so I'm pretty sure of the "no progress -= stuck!" diagnosis. If there is a Windows process which has a handle on a file or directory open, rm shows this behaviour occasionally. e.g. try to run rm -rf /path/to/directory while having an explorer view open on this directory (or a subdirectory of directory). It happens i.e. often for me when using the generic-build-script, if invoking with install or reconf which does rm -rf .build / .inst and having an explorer shell open in one of the (sub)directories to be removed from the script -> it seems to hang and it is always rm.
