RE: sshd, ftpd telnetd starts, but says incorrect passwd

[Harig, Mark A.]

1. Confirm that you have '/usr/bin/ssh-user-config'.
   If you do not have it, run 'setup.exe' and download
   the openssh package.

2. Run '/usr/bin/ssh-user-config --help' at your shell
   prompt.  Also, read the manual page for ssh-keygen:

  $ man ssh-keygen

3. Run /usr/bin/ssh-user-config.  This will create
   public/private-key encryption files that you need
   before you can use ssh.

RE: cron - Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:

[Harig, Mark A.]

Yes, that's unusual.  I think I'll leave out a check for this problem at
this time.  I wonder if anyone knows of a general purpose tool for
checking the validity or sanity of the /etc/group and /etc/passwd files?

Have you tried adding 'SYSTEM' to group 544 via the /etc/group file?

RE: cron - Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1062:

[Harig, Mark A.]

I can't see any glaring errors.  Here a some things you might try:
 
1. You're running Windows 2000, SP2.  Is there any reason you haven't
installed SP3?
I doubt that this has any effect, but it might be worth trying.
 
2. You have Windows 2000 installed on your 'c:' drive, but Cygwin is
installed
on your 'd:' drive.  You might try installing a minimal Cygwin on
your 'c:'
drive, and retrying cron.  Have you been running Cygwin on 'd:' all
along?
 
If you find a fix that you think could be detected by the
cron_diagnose.sh
script, please let me know so that it can improve.

Hi, 

  I have been experiencing this error ever since I rebooted my server. I
am now unable to start the cron service. I have attached my cygcheck
file and I have run cron_diagnose.sh as suggested by Mark A. Harig on
his posting on 20-Dec-2002.

 In addition, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the cron service and I
have reinstalled the cron and cygrunsrv components.

 I am using Win2000 Server. My Event Log displays the following error. 
  The following information is part of the event: cron : Win32
Process Id = 0x9A0 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x9A0 : starting service `cron'
failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted.

I would appreciate any suggestions that you can offer. 

Thanks,

Actually, it is better to provide details of what steps
you took and what responses you got than it is to simply
say "it will not work for me".

It might be helpful if you posted the contents of your
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf file, also.  Someone might see a
problem with it.

Similarly, it can sometimes be useful to see the contents
of 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt' (provided *as an attachment*)
for details about your environment.

For what it is worth, many people have gotten cron/ssmtp
to work together on WinNT/Win2K (I don't know about XP,ME,
98, etc.)

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:

o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
  is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt'.
  Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your
  report.  It is important that you include it as an

  give fewer false matches.

Do you have a file '/usr/sbin/date'?  Usually, this is in

RE: cron problem in W2K Proffesional

[Harig, Mark A.]

It appears as though everything is set correctly.

Try:

   1. Shut down your cron service.
   2. Run Cygwin's setup.exe to uninstall 'cron'.
   3. Run setup.exe a second time to download/install
  a new copy of 'cron'.
   4. Reboot your computer.
   5. Check your crontab: crontab -l
   6. Install the cron service and start it.

For some reason, your 'sticky bit' settings didn't get set
for /var/cron/ and /var/cron/tabs/.

Instead of 'drwxrwxrwx', your permissions should be
'drwxrwxrwt'.

Try:

   chmod 1777 /var/cron

RE: cron problem in W2K Proffesional

[Harig, Mark A.]

1. Have you read /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README?

2. Have you tried using a simple crontab entry?
   What have you tried?

For future reference, please include your 'cygcheck.txt'
file as an attachment only.

The '18' in your output is the group ownership number.  As documented
in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README, this needs to be set to '18' (which
should be the group number of SYSTEM in /etc/group).  Your crontab's 
permissions and ownerships are set correctly.

Try using a simpler crontab entry, for example:

* * * * * /usr/bin/date >> /tmp/date.txt

Delete all other lines in your crontab until you can get this entry
to work.

Make sure that cron has 'write' permission in /tmp, for example:

   chmod 777 /tmp

RE: Cron Won't Run Jobs

[Harig, Mark A.]

What is the output of 'ls -ln /var/cron/tab/buck'?

'buck' needs to have its 'group' ownership set to SYSTEM,
and SYSTEM needs to have its value set to 18.

Look in /etc/postinstall for a file named 'cron.sh.done'.  It doesn't
look
as though it has been run.  Here is a copy of it:

#!/bin/sh

set -x

if [ ! -d /var/cron ]
then
  mkdir -p /var/cron
fi
chmod 1777 /var/cron

if [ ! -d /var/cron/tabs ]
then
  mkdir /var/cron/tabs
fi
chmod 1777 /var/cron/tabs

You might try running the 'chmod' commands above manually.

Also, check the ownership/permissions of /var/cron/tabs/.
Group membership on your -specific tab file should be SYSTEM
(ID #18) and permissions should be set to 640, as described in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README.

> 

Yes, this confirms it.  Cygwin is on d: and d: has NTFS on it.

For future reference, please include 'cygcheck.txt' as an attachment,
not inline text.  Consider the case where you would like to search
the mail archives for, say, 'bash'.  Then every message that includes
the 'cycheck' output inline will produce a (false or irrelevant) match.
If you include the output as a .txt attachment, then the contents will
not be include in a search of the archives.

RE: CRON Help -- Operation not permitted

[Harig, Mark A.]

1. Did you read through /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README?

2. What are the ownership and permissions of /var/cron and
/var/cron/tabs?

3. It looks as though you might be running WinNT/2K with NTFS, but you
did
   not include the output of 'cygcheck' (as an attached file
'cygcheck.txt'),
   so it's not possible to know for sure.

RE: sshd: server refused our key

[Harig, Mark A.]

Please keep all replies on the cygwin mailing
list.  This helps you because more people are
able to diagnose your problem.  It helps
others because they are able to search the
mailing list archives for useful information.

1. In your reply below, you list the following
for your home directory:

> drwxr-xr-x  138 mk   group 24576 Nov 20 11:48 .

Try:
  chmod 750 ~
  chgrp SYSTEM ~

2. And for your ~/.ssh directory:

> drwxr-xr-x2 mk   group  4096 Nov 19 13:44 .ssh

Try:
  chmod 700 ~/.ssh

Please change both ~ and ~/.ssh.  It is not enough to only
change one.

If these changes do not fix your problem, then please
include the output of the 'mount' command in your
reply.

RE: sshd: server refused our key

[Harig, Mark A.]

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:

o Please describe how to reproduce the problem,
  including a test case, if possible.

In your case, please list the commands that you ran
to set up sshd on your Cygwin machine.

o Please include at least the version number of the
  Cygwin release you are using along with the 
  operating system name and its version number,
  for example, "cygwin v1.3.13 under NT 4.0".

o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
  is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt'.
  Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your
  report.  It is important that you include it as an
  attachment so that searches of the mailing-list archives
  give fewer false matches.

Some things to check (that is, email back to this mailing list):

   The permissions and ownership of:
   - your home directory
   - your home/.ssh directory
   - your home/.ssh files

It would also be useful if the 'cygcheck -s'

RE: SSHD on NT4...

[Harig, Mark A.]

According to the 'cygcheck' output,
this had already been done:

  .  /cygdrive  usertextmode,cygdrive
  d:\cygwin  /  system  textmode
  d:\cygwin/bin  /usr/bin   system  textmode
  d:\cygwin/lib  /usr/lib   system  textmode
  .  /cygdrive  usertextmode,cygdrive

What effect is 'textmode' having on sshd or cygrunsrv?

RE: SSHD on NT4...

[Harig, Mark A.]

The setup is very idiosyncratic.  According to the
cygcheck output, most of Cygwin is installed
on the D drive (NTFS), but there are two cygwin1.dlls
one on the D drive and one on the E drive (FAT).

The /etc/ssh_host*key files should be set to 600, not 777.
None of the other /etc/ssh* configuration files or key files
needs to be executable.  '644' should be sufficient for them.

1. What does the command 'id' report?  Or, 'id -un'?

2. Have you recently changed the contents of /etc/passwd?
   What are the permissions and ownership of this file?
   What are the permissions and ownership of '/etc'?

3. What bash initialization files are you using, i.e., /etc/profile,
   ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile?  Have you tried renaming
   those files or using the '--noprofile' and '--norc' optios?
   Have you checked their permissions and ownership?

If it is an option, you might consider

support NTFS, of course.

RE: Access Denied (XP Home SP1, cygwin-1.3.15

[Harig, Mark A.]

try:

   After creating temp.txt in Cygwin:

   $ ls -l temp.txt

The permissions of this file will depend upon your setting
of 'umask'.  For me, this yields:

   $ umask
   0022

So, my permissions are set to 'rw-r--r--'.

Because you are creating a text file, execution permission
should not be on by default.  'ex' appears to be behaving
correctly.

After 'c:\temp> copy temp.txt a.txt', try:

$ ls -l a.txt

For me, this yields permissions '-', i.e., all "UNIX"
permissions are turned off.  When I attempt to "run" the text
file 'a.txt', notepad opens with the contents of 'a.txt' because
on my system (Win2K, running Cygwin 1.3.15-2) I have notepad
associated with .txt files.

I have been using option 1.  My question comes from the fact
that Corinna Vinschen recommended that ~/.ssh be set to 700
(which is what 'set-keygen' sets it to) and that she had
pointed to my 'chmod 700 ~' as the reason that openssh would
not work if I set ~/.ssh to 700.

Is there a consensus about what to recommend to Cygwin users,
or does openssh work for some people with both ~ and ~/.ssh
set to 700?  (In which, case multiple recommendations would
need to be made.)

OK.  So, it appears that Cygwin users
of openssh have one of two options:

1. chmod 700 ~
   chgrp 18 ~/.ssh
   chmod 750 ~/.ssh

or 

2. chmod 755 ~
   chmod 700 ~/.ssh 

Do you have a recommendation on which of
these two options is more secure?

Hmm.  I'm sorry to be so dense, but:

  1) I had never heard of "Bypass traverse checking" so I'm
 pretty sure that I haven't changed it.

  2) Am I sure that I cannot use ~/.ssh if the mode is set to 700?
 Changing the permissions for ~/.ssh to 750 or 755 has been 
 the solution for me and for a number of other users that
 I've suggested it to.  Are we all doing something wrong? (a
 possibility, of course)

 The following script sets everything up for me (of course,
 I respond to the ssh-keygen prompts):

   #!/bin/bash
   umask 0022 && \
   chmod 700 ~ && \
   mv ~/.ssh  ~/save.ssh && \
   ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "some useful comment" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa && \
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

 This causes ssh-keygen to create ~/.ssh with whatever permissions
 it thinks are correct (i.e., 700).  (I'm running sshd on Win2K
using
 NTFS, Cygwin DLL 1.3.15, CYGWIN=ntsec, StrictMode=yes,  
 UsePrivilegeSeparation=yes)  After this script completes, I attempt
 to connect to my ssh server from the machine that is running the
server.
 I can connect, but only if I provide my password.  Conversely, if
 I set the permissions of ~/.ssh to 755, then I can connect without
 providing my password.

 Am I doing something wrong, or assuming something that is false?

I must be missing a piece of information.  Setting the
permissions of ~/.ssh to 700 causes ssh to require me
to enter a password, that is, the encryption-key processing
is failing.  Setting the permissions of ~/.ssh to 750 (if
the group setting is SYSTEM) or to 755 (if the group setting
is not SYSTEM) allows ssh to access the encryption-key files.

That was my understanding also.  I assumed that my understanding
was incorrect because ssh would report that my permissions for
~/.ssh/authorized_keys was too open.  I'm unable to reproduce that
at this time.  This issue is closed as far as I am concerned, until
I can reproduce the problem.

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:

o Please describe how to reproduce the problem,
  including a test case, if possible.

o Please include at least the version number of the
  Cygwin release you are using along with the 
  operating system name and its version number,
  for example, "cygwin v1.3.13 under NT 4.0".

o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
  is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt'.
  Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your

Source code of a small program that reproduces your problem,
along with the commands you used to compile, link, and run
the program would likely increase the chances that someone
can and will help with this problem.

RE: gcc error on cygwin

[Harig, Mark A.]

Using cygwin 1.3.15, there is one additional message:

$ ./check.exe 
open: illegal unit number
apparent state: internal I/O
lately writing direct unformatted external IO
4005713 [main] check 1348 sig_send: wait for sig_complete event failed,
signal 6, rc 258, Win32 error 0

You might try:

  1. Set the environment variable CYGWIN (via Start->Control
Panel->System)
 to include "error_start=C:/Cygwin/bin/gdb".

  2. Start a new shell that uses the new value of CYGWIN.

  3. Recompile your FORTRAN file with debugging information:

g77 -g -o check check.f

  4. Run ./check.exe.  gdb should start automatically.

RE: Is RSA authentication on SSH still broken?

[Harig, Mark A.]

Thank you for the clarification!

This presents an interesting situation.
Users who run 'ssh-keygen' (either directly,
or indirectly using 'ssh-host-config'),
find that they are not able to run ssh
because of the permissions of ~/.ssh/
(and, later, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys*), even
though their permissions are set to the
"correct" values.

Shouldn't this should all be included in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh*README? Namely, 

   1) If you want the most secure ssh connection,
  then you will need to follow Corrina Vinschen's
  instructions below to set ACLs for both ~/.ssh/
  and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys*.

   2) If you don't want to attempt to manipulate
  ACLs, then simply chmod 755 ~/.ssh/ and
  chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

What about a third alternative?  

   $ chgrp system ~/.ssh/ ~/.ssh/authorized_keys*
   $ chmod 750 ~/.ssh/
   $ chmod 640 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys*

This works, but does it merely give the illusion of
more security without actually making the files secure?

RE: bash 2.05b-7 and command line tab completion

[Harig, Mark A.]

I can't tell whether this bug (tab-completion
adding a space when it is used for the first
word after the prompt) is Cygwin-specific, or
if it was added with bash 2.05.  My two versions
of bash running on Linux are 2.04.  Neither of
them have this bug.  Does someone have another
(non-Cygwin) bash 2.05 that can test this
behavior?

If you are having problems with your slow
connection breaking in the middle of a
download, then you might try using the 'wget'
utility to download packages, and then use 'setup.exe'
with the 'Install from Local Directory' option
for installation.

Could this be a bug in Cygwin's implementation of openssh?

Try the following in a bash shell:

$ /usr/bin/mv  ~/.ssh  ~/save.ssh
$ /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "some useful comment"

Then respond to the 'ssh-keygen' prompts by simply
pressing [Enter] (or [Return]).  ssh-keygen will
create a new ~/.ssh directory for you, along with
the requested ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
files.

After ssh-keygen has completed, set up your
authorized_keys2 file:

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

$ ls -ld ~/.ssh

ssh-keygen created a ~/.ssh directory with the
permissions set to 700.  (These permissions match
what ssh-keygen does on my Linux installation.)
But if you attempt to connect to your Cygwin system
via ssh, you'll find that you cannot, unless you make
the permissions less restrictive, that is
"chmod 755 ~/.ssh".

Similarly, if ~/.ssh/authorized_keys* is set to 600
on Linux, then ssh works without errors, but if you set
the file permissions to 644, then it might work, but
I have had some versions of ssh issue a warning that
the permissions for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys are "too open".
In other words, ssh should work with the more secure
setting of 600, but does not on Cygwin.

In the meantime, the following rules appear to be in effect:

Cygwin:

chmod 755 ~/.ssh
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys*

RE: bash-2.05b6 shell script fails

[Harig, Mark A.]

It appears to be a problem with command substitution.
The following script fails also:

#!/bin/bash
foo=foo1
# simple assignment worked?
bar=`echo`
# command-substitution worked?

When run in bash-2.05b6, the following results:

$ uname -r
1.3.14(0.62/3/2)

$ ./bug.sh
./bug.sh: line 5: command-substitution: command not found

FW: Process does not respond to signals on read() of win32 handle.

[Harig, Mark A.]

Please send all replies to the Cygwin users' mailing list.
This serves two purposes:

  1. More people can see your problem description.  This
 will increase the chance that someone will know a
 solution to your problem.

  2. The problem and its solution are added to the
 mailing-list archives.  This is one of the main
 knowledge databases for Cygwin.  Even if a solution
 is not found, then other readers are made aware of
 the problem and know that it is not unique to them.

RE: Cygwin-ssh under Windows 2000 + NTFS

[Harig, Mark A.]

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:

o Please describe how to reproduce the problem,
  including a test case, if possible.

o Please include at least the version number of the
  Cygwin release you are using along with the 
  operating system name and its version number,
  for example, "cygwin v1.3.13 under NT 4.0".

o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
  is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt'.
  Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your
  report.  It is important that you include it as an
  attachment so that searches of the mailing-list archives
  give fewer false matches.

Check your entry for 'wirawan' in /etc/passwd file.

After saving your present /etc/passwd file, 
you likely want to update it or correct it using
either:

  mkpasswd -d -u wirawan >> /etc/passwd

or 

  mkpasswd -l -u wirawan >> /etc/passwd

RE: Complete newbie to cygwin

[Harig, Mark A.]

Try:

  1. Delete your previous installation directories

  2. During your initial installation, don't select
 additional packages beyond those that are
 installed by default, that is, install the
 smallest number of packages possible to get
 a working Cygwin environment.

  3. Add additional packages one at a time to 
 increase the likelihood that you will
 successfully download and install each
 package before your connection breaks.

It's possible to download by ftp the individual
packages that are downloaded as a group by setup.exe,
and then install them one-by-one, but this should
only be used as a last resort.

RE: Is RSA authentication on SSH still broken?

[Harig, Mark A.]

I am able to use SSH with public/private-key files.
ssh is working on Cygwin, both as a client and
as a server, at least on Win2K.

# Cygwin version:
$ uname -r
1.3.14(0.62/3/2)

# Windows version:
$ uname -s
CYGWIN_NT-5.0

# ssh version
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090607f

My guess is that your problem is related to file/directory
permissions.  One permission problem I found is that
'ssh-keygen' creates a ~/.ssh directory (if you don't
have one already) with permissions set to 700.  I found
that I had to change these to 755.

Here are the file permissions you should check:

1. $HOME - Your home directory should be set to 700.
   Only you need access to your home directory.

2. $HOME/.ssh - Try setting this to 755.

3. $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys* - Turn off write
   permission for anyone other than you, turn on
   read permission for everyone.  One possible
   setting for this is:

 $ chmod 644 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys*

   Of course, only 'identity.pub' keys should be
   in 'authorized_keys' and only 'id_rsa.pub'/id_dsa.pub'
   should be in 'authorized_keys2', depending upon
   the type(s) of encryption you chose.

4. $HOME/.ssh/ -
   Of course, only you should have any permissions
   for your private key files 'identity', 'id_rsa',
   or 'id_dsa' (you need at least one of these).

  $ chmod 600 identity (or id_rsa or id_dsa, etc.)

RE: Can cron run ssh commands?

[Harig, Mark A.]

Of course, a simpler alternative to setting up
'ssmtp' with cron would be to write your
cron job to redirect the output of 'ssh -v ...'
to a file.

RE: Can cron run ssh commands?

[Harig, Mark A.]

Try adding '-v' to your ssh command in your cron job.
This assumes that you have cron's integration with
email working.  If you don't have the 'ssmtp' package
installed (via setup.exe), then you'll want to do that
so that any output is emailed to you.

See: /usr/doc/Cygwin/
 cron.README
 ssmtp-.README

Of course, you should probably start with a simpler
cron job, say, the output of '/usr/bin/env' so that
you can see what cron thinks its environment is.

RE: Antwort: RE: how to get openssh-3.4 working on w2k?

[Harig, Mark A.]

>From your attached 'cygcheck' output, you appear to
be running Cygwin 1.3.14 on Win2K, on a drive (C:)
that is using the NTFS filesystem.  Because 1.3.14
turns on 'ntsec' by default, you should be able
to manipulate the UNIX-like file permissions.

try:

  $ ls -ld $HOME
  $HOME should have its permissions set to 700
  (only you need access to your home directory)

  $ cd $HOME
  $ ls -ld .ssh
  ~/.ssh permissions should be set to 700, but
  I've seen versions of ssh that required this
  to be 755.

  $ cd .ssh
  $ ls -l authorized_keys*
  Your authorized_keys file(s) permissions should
  be set to 600.

  $ ls -l identity id_rsa id_dsa
  Your private-key file(s) permissions should be
  set to 600

  $ ls -l identity.pub id_rsa.pub id_dsa.pub
  Your public-key files should be readable (+r).

Also, consider deleting your ~/.ssh/known_hosts
file and letting ssh regenerate it to fix the 
warning message that you are getting.

RE: how to get openssh-3.4 working on w2k?

[Harig, Mark A.]

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:

o Please describe how to reproduce the problem,
  including a test case, if possible.

(For example, you could run 'ssh -v ip_address'
and include the output.)

o Please include at least the version number of the
  Cygwin release you are using along with the 
  operating system name and its version number,
  for example, "cygwin v1.3.13 under NT 4.0".

o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
  is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt'.
  Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your
  report.  It is important that you include it as an
  attachment so that searches of the mailing-list archives
  give fewer false matches.

(For example, you list 'openssh-3.5p1-5' below.  My
guess is that this is mistake because the latest released
version of openssh from Cygwin is 3.4p1-5.  cygcheck
will list that for you without your having to look it
up.)

RE: 1.3.13: problem using ntohs() in asm/bytorder.h in gcc 3.2.

[Harig, Mark A.]

Please include a small source-code sample, and the
complete 'gcc' command that you are running, along
with the output.  You might also consider running
'gcc' with the '-v' (verbose) option, for example:

   $ gcc -v sample.c

The more information you provide, the more likely
it is that someone will be able to diagnose the
problem you are having.

RE: sshd install troubles

[Harig, Mark A.]

Not at all.  Besides, I have a mental filter on
when reading this mailing list, which has been
known to stray from the facts into opinion and
philosophy.  Your useful-fact-to-opinion ratio has
been very high.

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html,
please include the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r'
(as an attachment).  This will provide anyone
looking at your question with the above 
information that you provided, but also
with information about your registry, 
mount points, etc. that you did not, but
which could be significant.

It's not a dependency if you only want to run an
ssh client.  But if it is added as a dependency, then
it would make sense to add it for 'cron' also.

For future reference: it has been found that the order
of mkpasswd's '-d' and '-u' options is significant.
On some systems/networks, it has been found that
'mkpasswd' runs much faster if '-u' precedes '-d'.

I have permissions for /var/empty/ set to 755, with
the owner/group set to SYSTEM.SYSTEM.

Check to make sure that SYSTEM is listed in
/etc/passwd, and check to see that its UID is 18.

Check to make sure that SYSTEM is listed in 
/etc/group, and check to see that its GID is 18.

I'm running Windows 2000.

What versions of 'make' are you running on DOS, Linux, and Cygwin?
Different versions have different behavior.

As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html,
please include the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r'
(as an attachment).  This will provide anyone
looking at your question with information
such as which version of Cygwin you are
running and which version of 'make' you
have installed.

> The message: no rule to make 'hello.d'

The above 'makefile' works on my installation
of cygwin:

$ ls makefile hello.c
hello.c  makefile

$ make -f makefile
makefile:4: hello.d: No such file or directory
gcc -MM  hello.c > hello.d
gcc  hello.c -o hello.exe

It might be more evident what is causing
your problem once you have included
your 'cygcheck -s -v -r' output (as an
attachment).

It's not necessary to open all of the categories.  The 'View'
button cycles through three views:

   1. The Category view
   2. An alphabetical view of all packages
   3. A list of only those packages that you have already
  installed and/or those packages that you have
  selected which setup.exe will be downloading.

(You can access the 'View' button through the mouse, obviously,
or [Alt]-[V].)

Also, visit http://www.cygwin.com/packages/.  It allows
you to search for a file by name to identify that package
that contains it.

'info' relies on a file named 'dir' (typically, in /usr/info).
The _update-info-dir package attempts to generate this.  You
should find a script in /etc/postinstall/ named
'update-info-dir.sh.done.'  Try re-running that script.  It
might provide clues about what is wrong with your system
configuration.

RE: ls takes a long time.

[Harig, Mark A.]

I can't see what is causing your problem.  For what it's worth,
it does not appear to be inherent in Cygwin:

   $ uname -r
   1.3.13(0.62/3/2)

   $ /usr/bin/ls --version
   ls (fileutils) 4.1

   $ touch foo && chmod +s foo && time /usr/bin/ls -l foo
   -rwSr-Sr--1 maharig  Power Us0 Oct 29 18:18 foo

   real0m0.390s
   user0m0.030s
   sys 0m0.060s

I repeated the above commands on another computer that is running Cygwin
1.3.12 -- similar results (slightly faster).  Both computers are running
Windows 2000.

 Bash uses a hash table to remember the full pathnames of executable
files
 to avoid multiple `PATH' searches.  A full search of the
directories
 in `$PATH' is performed only if the command is not found in the
 hash table.

It's possible that the 'ls' is picking up a previous invocation of that
program that is in /c/NTRESKIT/.  try:

$ type ls
$ hash -r
$ ls
$ type ls

How did you set the CYGWIN environment variable?  Did you set it at the
shell prompt, did you use an initialization script (that it, ~/.profile,
~/.bash_profile, or ~/.bashrc), or did you use the Control Panel's
System applet?

Try closing all shell windows/prompts and then use the Control Panel's
System applet to set CYGWIN, and then restart your shell prompt.

RE: ls -l after chmod

[Harig, Mark A.]

1. Start the 'System' applet: Select 'Start', then 'Settings', then
'Control Panel', then double click on the 'System' icon.

2. The 'System Properties' dialog should be displayed.  Click on the
'Advanced' tab.  Click on the 'Environment Variables' button on that
tab.

3. Inspect the list of variables in the 'System Variables' scroll list.
If CYGWIN is not included in the list, then create a new variable.
Otherwise, edit it, and add the value 'ntsec'.  This, eventually, is
planned to be set by default.

4. Start a new shell window.  Inspect the value of CYGWIN ('echo
$CYGWIN').

RE: ls -l after chmod

[Harig, Mark A.]

1. Double-click on your 'My Computer' icon on your desktop to open it.

2. Right-click on your drive(s) icon and select 'Properties' from the
menu.
   The Local Disk Properties dialog should be displayed.

3. Click on the 'General' tab (the default) if it is not already
selected.
   The file system type should be listed as NTFS or FAT32 (or, possibly,
FAT).

   If your disk's file system is not NTFS, then you might want to
consider converting it to NTFS using Windows 'convert' utility program
(read Windows Help for more information about this utility).  

>From http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html, we have:

(no)ntsec - if set, use the NT security model to set UNIX-like
permissions on files and processes. The file permissions can only be set
on NTFS partitions. FAT doesn't support the NT file security. 

So, without NTFS, 'chmod' won't work.

RE: ls takes a long time.

[Harig, Mark A.]

try including the path to 'ls' so that you are
certain that you are not running an unusual
version in /usr/local/bin, that is,

  $ /usr/bin/ls 
  $ /usr/bin/ls -l

RE: Thankyouverymuch

[Harig, Mark A.]

try: $ gcc -v filename.c
in order to get some diagnostic output about
what gcc is doing.  

For problem reports, include:

$ uname -r
$ # command version
$ gcc --version
$ # command that is causing the problem
$ gcc  
$ # output

and possibly the source code of a file
that demonstrates the problem.

RE: 'Command not found'

[Harig, Mark A.]

please run setup.exe again.  you will find
the compiler and other development tools in
the 'devel' category.

Also, try clicking on the 'View' button
(or type [Alt]-[v]).  This will cycle
through the possible views of the lists.
One is a simple alphabetical list.
Searching through it, you can find a 
package and note which category it resides
in for future reference.

both are needed (of course).  a detailed command-line

RE: sdiff related.....

[Harig, Mark A.]

Consider downloading and installing the 'patch' utility
in the 'Utils' category.  'patch --help', 'info patch',
or 'man patch' at your shell prompt will give you
instructions on how to use it.

Try: Start->Settings->Control Panel->System applet

In the System applet, click on the 'Advanced' tab, then on the
Environment Variables button.  You should find 'Path' listed 
in the 'System variables' scroll list.

That is the correct approach, i.e., see if you can perform
an action (in your case, running a bash script at a DOS prompt)
manually before attempting to automate it.

At your DOS prompt, enter the command 'path' to see the value
of the PATH environment variable.  After you set the value using
the System applet, above, you should see that the directory that
contains your Cygwin programs precedes the directory that contains
the assorted Windows programs.

> so do i want/need cron or is the above scenario ok???

The above is OK, but at some point you will likely want to simplify
your life by being "all unix, all the time".  When that happens, you'll
want to jump the hurdle of installing cron, setting up the cron service,
setting up smtp (for mail from cron), and creating a cron job.

RE: What's going on here with directory contents?

[Harig, Mark A.]

Cygwin creates a mount point from /bin -> /usr/bin.

Run the 'mount' command (no options needed) to see
your Cygwin mount points.  DOS/Windows has no knowledge
of these.

RE: passwd-group post install scripts

[Harig, Mark A.]

Also, you might want to group the Winnt/Win2k/xp tests
at the top of the batch file, and then throw away the
windows 95/98/ME tests, and let the batch file simply
fall through to that code if the Winnt/Win2k/xp tests
fail.

RE: Screen for cygwin

[Harig, Mark A.]

Isn't the slow connection the most important criteria?
After all, most people who need multiple "windows" (which
screens provides) normally think of using X to get
those extra windows, but wouldn't want to use X if the
connection is slow.

Let's hope the Cygwin port gets picked up by the 'screen'
maintainers so it's not an orphan.
