Wide char support is missing, because of deficiencies in C-runtime. If you want wide char with -mno-cygwin, you'll need an auxiliary library -- like mingw's [incomplete] libisocext.a -- to supply C wide char support. Iostreams work for char.

Re: System API problem
Well, you post this again. Do you think that
if you post numerous times you'll force someone
on the list to answer your question ? Better
launch a debugger and find the source of your problem.
FYI - this was reported a while back (2 times i think).
As far as I remember no one else on the list was able
to reproduce the situation so no one was able to find the
solution. Maybe this means that something specific on your
system causes the error to show up. Try to find out what
and then report back. Also an output of cygcheck -r -s -v
would be useful.
The last thread that discussed this problem was started by
David Mathog and we did some private comunication with him
while I was trying to gather more information on his system
and asked him to perform some tests. I tried to debug this
on my system but with no succes - this error does not happen
on my system. The thread sybject is system() function doesnt work
outside cygwin. You can look at it in the maling list archive.
You may also wish to contact David and try to find out what is
the common thing on your systems - this may help find the problem.

And another thing - by posting erronous information
you're not helping anyone to find the solution to
your problem. You're just fooling the people.
What I mean is that if the system() call returns
127 (0x7f) the error meaning is exec*() call failed
not ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND as you state below. Note that
cygwin is POSIX emulation layer - you should not read
winerror.h to find out the info on the error code but
the system() call man page.

The infamous missing or screwed up info dir file.
I'm for just abolishing this file. Get rid of it altogether. Just `rm -f /usr/info/dir'. The reason is obvious. Having it causes many members of this list problems. The answer to all questions concerning info and no dir file is `info --file=/usr/info/info'. With this I never have a problem with the dir file being wrong or missing. With this I always find the info file I need. I don't need a menu file of files. I just need to know which package the binary came from and if it's a FSF GNU program then --version will give that to me if I don't already know it. Conclusion: Don't depend on the dir file.

Could someone enlighten me about 'allow_ntsec'. How does CygWin turn
this on?
TIA

Ralf Habacker wrote: At last I like to write about some additional topic I recognized with the libtool stuff: 1. providing -Wl,--enable-auto-import for linking executables (ltmain.in) I have prepared a patch for this, but I recognized that there must be a general strategy for handling the auto-import stuff. There are questions about when this flag should has to be set. Should is be set when a ld with auto-import is found by default or should this set only with a specific configure flag like --with-auto-import or how should this go on ? I don't know the answer, because I don't have the overview. The currently patch I'm using is to enable this flag, when a ld with auto-import stuff is found. So if anyone can give me a hint for the direction, I can provide this. I think it is okay to assume that the cygwin ld has support for this flag. However, --enable-auto-import IS the default, so it should not be necessary to specify it. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: no output from net.exe
Just as an FYI, I am unable to duplicate this problem. I used my Windows 2000 laptop to ssh to my NT 4 SP6a server and I was able to execute the following command from a bash prompt just fine: $ net group /domain group.txt I used ssh from the cmd.exe prompt and I used puTTY - each time the output was redirected to the file. Have you tried use tee? For example: $ net group /domain | tee group.txt Is there a specific command or situation where this does not work? If so, let me know and I'll try again. rotaiv.

RE: SSH uses HOME or HOMESHARE?
Nevermind. I figured it out. I should have read the README. Newer versions of SSH don't use $HOME, instead the use the home directory listed in /etc/passwd. And my home directory in /etc/passwd was incorrect. After fixing that, everything works. -Original Message- From: Paul Stodghill Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 4:24 PM To: Cygwin Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: SSH uses HOME or HOMESHARE?

Can I build a windows dll and lib from cygwin
As I am only just getting into cygwin, I would like to know if it is possible to build a block of unix code (just console applications) and produce a dll which can be called by windows applications. I have done this following the advice on the cygwin sites and produce the 2 files which i thought i needed these are foo.a (renamed to foo.lib below) and foo.dll. When I try to build a windows application linking to foo.a i get an error saying the lib file can not be understood.

Thanks for the vote of confidence but there is no reversal of anything, required here. Everything in Soren's email had already been discussed. There was nothing breathtakingly original in his proposal. The solution is basically what any twelve year old would provide with if you described problem to them. And the twelve year old's solution would be the correct one -- setup.exe should produce /usr/info/dir. Every setup.exe developer agrees that this is something that needs to be done. It's on the list of things to do. Relaying that information (or where to find that information) should have been the end of the discussion but, of course, it wasn't. It seemed like a simple solution was being put forth as if it was in some way revolutionary. Soren's email took 80 lines to essentially say: setup.exe should produce /usr/info/dir files. The additional 79 lines and subsequent messages seemed to be basically an attempt at making himself the champion of the obvious for newbies. It's not at all unusual for a newbie to provide a simple solution without trying to research available resources. No matter how we try to correct this behavior, people will always assume that they are the only people to have ever come up with a solution and will send a knee jerk message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For example, how many people have suggested that we should have an All option on setup.exe? A LOT. And, where do you think the current setup.exe behavior came from? It came from user complaints about the fact that setup.exe used to download everything. Regardless, after the first message or two about the lack of All, this issue became the subject of much discussion in [EMAIL PROTECTED] You could assume that since setup.exe has had this problem for a couple of months, that no one is working on it. Or, you could assume that since this is a volunteer project, we can't guarantee that anything will be fixed quickly. A newbie might assume the former but should be easily educated in the latter. So, their cluelessness should be correctable. It is somewhat unusual for a newbie to offer such a spirited defense of their own cluelessness. The defense, apparently, is that if I can't see it, it doesn't exist. It is puzzling why someone who admits to being absent from cygwin discussions would ever assume that their ignorance was anything more than simple lack of information but I guess this adds some entertainment value to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think that there is a valid point somewhere in Soren's message although he doesn't actually seem aware of it. Probably, in the future, when someone mentions RTFM, they should also include something like: setup.exe should produce /usr/info/dir files but it doesn't currently. To use info files, please refer to the following: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC63 Hmm. Oddly enough, it took me about five seconds to find this info in the FAQ. Just looked for info.

Re: named colour list
I believe rxvt dynamically loads either libWll.dll or libX11.dll (using dlopen()). It does this depending on the setting of the environment variable DISPLAY. This was done so that the same executable works: 1) in native windows mode on systems without X11 installed 2) in X11 or native windows mode on systems WITH X11 installed, depending on DISPLAY setting. If rxvt were actually LINKED to libX11.dll then it couldn't work with W11, and vice versa. --Chuck Don Sharp wrote: Charles Wilson wrote: Schaible, Jörg wrote: So I can use the named colors, lighsalmon works fine on my box.

Re: private rsync 'mirror'
Michael, If you do not require unattended, scripted operation, Setup.exe performs fine for local Cygwin mirroring as well as installing (use the Download from Internet option to locally mirror your favorite Cygwin mirror site). Otherwise, you can use any date-dependent / incremental, recursive FTP retrieval tool (still using Setup.exe for installation, of course). I used to do that using FTP Voyager (before I knew about wget), but since it was still a manually invoked process, I've switched to simply using Setup.exe for both retrieval and installation. I also must manually clean out old packages--I keep the current and previous packages and discard the older ones. I do not recall if the Cygwin mirrors keep defunct older versions of the packages and if so how many, but if they do, it would interfere with wanting an automated download if you didn't want to keep the same amount of package history as your chosen mirror. If you do want a scripted or automated option, just use wget with suitable options. That should do what you want just fine. If you don't want to trail along old versions, then you may need to write a script (sed, awk, Perl or some such) to extract names of package files form the current Setup.ini file and retrieve new ones, and, possibly, discard those no longer current and/or previous and/or experimental. By the way, I've been bit once (out of a potential two times, I should say. ... fooled me once...) by the need to use a special two-pass installation procedure for certain package updates, so one really must read the Cygwin mailing list for release and update announcements. Thus fully automated or blind Cygwin updating is not yet a foolproof possibility.

The solution has been discussed, put into policy and should not affect any newbies ever again. This is a better solution than setup.exe special casing info files, because as described here http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html#postinstall packages can do any special case installation that make install might do - without requiring users to grab a new setup.exe to get the correct behaviour.

Re: cygipc-1.11 SHM-patch: fork, handling in ipc-daemon
=== - Original Message - From: Michael Haubenwallner [EMAIL PROTECTED] - It is not clear what happens in following circumstance: 1) the first process creates a shm 2) a second one attaches to it 3) now the second process dies without detaching 4) the first process removes the shm with shmctl(IPC_RMID), but the ipc-daemon was sleeping and did not remove the second attachment-entry early enough to have shm_nattch==0, which must be the case in shmctl() to really remove the shm by the caller of shmctl(IPC_RMID). What IMHO surely not should happen is that a shmid with shm_nattch==0 remains with having the destroy-flag set. So the ipc-daemon must remove a shm in this state, including the tmp-file. In this case, the daemon should wait on all the processes that are attached, so it gets woken up when a process quits. Alternatively, you could queue the removal, prevent now attachments, and when the second process termination is 'noticed' perform the removal.

I expect at some point to produce a setup.ini linter, and that could be called from a perls script easily enough. (We should have the same parser code reused, to prevent syncronisation errors). Likely features: 1. No /usr/info/dir allowed. 2. Syntax check setup.hints. upset is perl now, I'd suggest you extend upset. Also, for efficiency, write a flag - same foobar.checked - when you check a file (be it a setup.hint or package), and only recheck if the file is newer than the flag.

Hi Corinna
Well, I had to learn a few things to track this one.
Please cc me directly. Sorry about the length.
What follows was observed on NT 4, it's somewhat
different on Windows 2000.
The keys are related to the perflib, e.g.
SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Perflib\\009
and others.
Initially I thought that the error 5 ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
meant that, following setuid(), the user did not have
query access to the key, even though he could open it
without problems. This guess was wrong.
The real problem is that following setuid(), the ACL (not default
ACL) of the impersonation token (which is inherited from the
default ACL of the process token) makes the impersonation
token non-accessible by its user
(normally the user has full access to its token,
and it seems that setuid() should preserve that).
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED is thus generated when some Microsoft
code tries to access the token while getting the key.
This is demonstrated in the debug.out attachment where I print
the impersonation token, try to access the key (fail),
then clear the token ACL and succeed reading the key.
I tried to patch security.cc, without success.
In the attached diff file I set an acl (actually I
reuse your default ACL) in a security descriptor sd.
sd is pointed to by your security attribute sa, which
is passed to DuplicateTokenEx() in create_token().
I also added a new call to SetKernelObjectSecurity(),
for good measure.
This runs without errors, but nothing happens.
I have no idea why. Any help or suggestions will be
appreciated.
Here are four other things I noticed:
1) If setuid(gid) with a gid that doesn't exist, the
system silently sets the gid to administrators. That
is not fail safe!
The problem is that getgrgid() never fails. It should
have a flag to tell it whether it should default or not.
[The default is fine when specifying a SET_ACCESS ACE]
2) my_token isn't closed in create_token()
3) Why is it necessary to set the PrimaryGroup in the
process token in setegid()? (That can fail silently).
Is that field ever read? I thought that PrimaryGroup
only needs to be set in impersonation tokens, so that
seteuid() can decide if an existing token can be
reused.
4) If in cygrunsrv -u user ... the Cygwin and Windows
user names differ, then the process will have the wrong
uid.

RE: Windows XP, inetd, and procmail, fetchmail, and mutt
Kent, Read /usr/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.38.7.README. It explains you how you can coerce mutt into using it for sending mail. Then read /usr/doc/ssmtp-2.38.7/README about the limitations of ssmtp.

It looks to me that the MUA has to call ssmtp to send an email. It cannot run as a daemon, on port 25, to accept connections from MUAs. The man page says the -bd option is unsupported and my experience from running it on the command line is it does not work. It gives the error you cut out of my previous email. If it doesn't work please tell me. If it does, please point me to a post to the mailing list that describes how to make it work. The experience that I have had with ssmtp (from reading the man page) is not positive. Kent Ok, so it appears that ssmtp will not run in daemon mode. Besides the NT apps blat or IIS, is there an smtp server that runs under cygwin?

Re: Package Lint

What would you like it to check first? My first thought would be to make it a Perl script. I'm open on this. I expect at some point to produce a setup.ini linter, and that could be called from a perls script easily enough. (We should have the same parser code reused, to prevent syncronisation errors). Likely features: 1. No /usr/info/dir allowed. 2. Syntax check setup.hints. upset is perl now, I'd suggest you extend upset. Also, for efficiency, write a flag - same foobar.checked - when you check a file (be it a setup.hint or package), and only recheck if the file is newer than the flag. Part of my long term plan is to provide a convenient method of uploading files to sources.redhat.com. I was going to include a package linter in that process since I've already written something that is part of the way there. So, while I appreciate the offer, I think this is something that I will be doing eventually. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

RE: no output from net.exe
You could write a script. That's even more fun than setting all user/group/permission info by hand. Treat it as challenge. Corinna Actually, this almost sounds fun... :) Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if Perl read the attributes of a file, they'd be reported in the same way as they would for ls. (i.e. Using whichever setting ntea or ntsec reported.) And if it tried setting those attributes, they'd still be handled by Cygwin. (i.e. Taking ntea or ntsec into account.) Seems pretty simple. Or am I missing something obvious here? -Alex -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
