setup.exe and 'default/skip/install/reinstall' question
Hi, I read the documents about setup.hint and setup.ini but I could not find the answer to my question. I want to change the 'default' install behaviour of setup.exe so that it will include packages I want and not the vanilla-default ones. I also want to remove some of the packages from the vanilla-default list. In our company we use cygwin, but everytime a new engineer wants to install cygwin, that person pops in my cube and asks what packages should be installed. I am willing to automate that by either editing setup.ini or setup.hint or any other method, but I could not find the description how to do that. Can anyone help me please ?

Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature

Re: Debatable: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature
Well, it isnt an absolute requirement, but it certianly is a significant convienience. I mantian some computer systems for some people, if I wished to use the Xserver to provide an X application for people to use, I know that if I told many people that they first had to maxamise a certian window and then find the application in that window, many users would be perplexed and complain loudly. For me a root mode is very useful, I like using my X Window Manager and X Desktop in a seperate window. Some users I maintian for though would be perplexed by this if I decided to provide X programs for them to use. This feature would be important to me for that convenience aspect, I know apps probably wouldnt work better in a rootless mode.

Re: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature
Really? Thanks for the insight. Are you willing to sacrifice 20 hours per week to work on it? No? In case you didn't notice, rootless mode has been on the To-Do list for over a year. It is simply difficult and large in scope, thus no one is working on it. In fact, there isn't really any work going on in Cygwin/XFree86 on a daily basis, so rootless mode isn't going to get done anytime soon unless you are volunteering. Also, a question for you: What do I gain from sacrificing my time to implement a rootless mode? A rising stock price? A raise in my salary? Worldwide fame? A recommendation for a job? Nope --- I get none of that, I only loose my free time, so any time I spend on Cygwin/XFree86 had damn well better be worth it to me, because I'm the only one that can give me something for me efforts (which is simply giving myself satisfaction that I accomplished something, which I already have plenty of). Feeling fiesty? Why don't you suggest that we translate X graphics calls to GDI graphics calls next --- then I can once again point you to the To-Do list and to some work in progress. Sheesh.

Re: Rootless Mode is an Important and Needed Feature
Good point Alexander. On a side note: Why is it that XDarwin has so many people contributing code and features (they seem to have an OpenGL-passthrough system now, which is pretty amazing), while Cygwin/XFree86 has so few contributors? This seems contradictory because Windows is on 95% of desktops while Mac OS X is only on 1% (~20% of Apple's 5% market share are running Mac OS X). That question will probably always baffle me.

Modes of files with uid = gid
Corinna,
Motivated by a Cygwin list e-mail on this subject last weekend I have
improved the handling of the modes of files with uid = gid.
The patch below does that, as well as some other things I did not
expect when I started. It also raises some questions and makes
this e-mail rather long :(
get_attribute_from_acl
**
1) When ntsec is off, the function is_grp_member(uid, gid)
[in sec_helper.cc] returns true if the uid is a member of gid
(reading /etc/group). However if ntsec is on, the function returns
true if the current process access token contains the gid,
independent of the uid.
As a result, to a user SID_A doing ls -l on a file with uid SID_U and
gid SID_G, it may (wrongly) appear that the file is user readable just
because it is group readable and SID_G is in the current access token
(of SID_A) and there is no access_denied on SID_U, even if SID_U is
not in group SID_G.
[this is not so easy to observe, due to the way alloc_sd works]
To avoid this situation, but still try to report the true access of
files owned by the current user SID_A, I only call is_grp_member when
SID_A == SID_U.
Note that is_grp_member is expensive: a passwd scan + getting the token
groups in a malloc'ed structure. I am wondering if the effort is
justified, considering that it is useless when the ACL is built by
Cygwin (because Cygwin will put an access denied ACE, see below).
This raises a basic issue: What is this function trying to accomplish?
I can see several answers:
A) For other and group, have modes report the true access rights
A1) if the ACL was built by Cygwin
A2) all the time.
I believe we can easily do A2.
B) For user, have modes report the true access rights
B1) if the ACL was built by Cygwin
B2) if the file uid is the current euid
B3) all the time
The patch stands somewhere between B1 and B2 (we don't take all the ACL
groups in consideration, only the gid). Should we reduce to B1
or extend to B2 (perhaps by using AccessCheck)?
Doing B3 would require looking up the PDC etc.., not recommended.
Removing is_grp_member would preserve B1.
What do you think? We want to keep ls -l fast.
If we keep is_grp_member I will optimize the call flow to remove
the passwd scan.
2) ACLs produced by third parties may well (stupidly) contain an
access_denied ACE after a matching access_allowed ACE. To report
the mode correctly in this situation (and do A2) it is necessary
to always use constructs such as
*flags |= ((!(*anti S_IROTH)) ? S_IROTH : 0)
3) When SID_U == SID_G, the group mode is now set to the user mode
in the returned attribute.
alloc_sd
4) The same problem with is_grp_member also occurs here. To
avoid it I have suppressed the call and always set
owner_deny = ~owner_allow (group_allow | other_allow);
As a result the ACL is independent of what uid's are in the
gid, which is as it should be.
5) When SID_U == SID_G I construct owner_allow from the OR
of the user modes and group modes. That's an arbitrary decision,
designed to be permissive.
Finally I have done some minor cleanup, added unrelated access
denied ACE is position 0 (never 1), and removed a bunch of
unnecessary (! psid) tests.
cygsid == psid is valid even when psid is NULL.
Pierre
P.S.: Please don't apply this patch in the next official cygwin if
it comes out this weekend, it should be tested in cvs for a few days.
Also, as I write this e-mail I realize that getgroups32 should
open the thread access token during impersonation.

RE: xrvt clipboard access
How you access it will depend upon how your mouse is set up. For example, using a three-button mouse, I'm able to paste the contents of the Windows clipboard to rxvt by clicking on the middle mouse button. That's good for some pasting jobs. Under Linux, I also have a function key defined to paste so I don't have to go reaching for the mouse. I haven't figured out how to do that with cygwin yet, though. But, it might be useful to mention in this context that you can also access /dev/clipboard. for example: $ note /dev/clipboard (note: note is my script) -- Thomas Mellman [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Die clevere Geldreserve: der DiBa-Privatkredit.

All the mount info can be stored in a plain ASCII file like 'cygwin.cfg'. As part of its initialization the cygwin1.dll can use GetModuleFileName() to figure out from where it was loaded and attempt to parse a possible config file located in the same dir with it. If this fails it will assume that it was loaded from /bin and attempt to read the config file from ../etc. If this fails then it can throw an error or try to recover the old info from the registry and generate the file based on it. Once it knows about the system mounts it will look in the user's home dir for something like .cygwinrc and get from there any user mounts and other settings like the ones set using the CYGWIN env variable. Let me know if I missed something. Thank you, Doru Carastan This has been suggested by Chris Faylor on the cygwin-developers list about 3 weeks ago.

Robert, Your solution only works if the users are local administrators, as a domain user has no rights to HKLM (and hence to create a system mount).

RE: [Proposal] Moving user mount information to HKLM
Robert,
FWIW the HKLM user mounts would have the same security
ramification (which is why it's not a generically viable solution).
True, but one could fine-tune access rights to HKLM/Software/Cygwin such
that:
1) All users have Create subkey permission in HKLM/./Cygwin/Users.
2) All user specific information goes under a Cygwin/Users/{SID} subkey.
In addition to the default rights for local admin etc, full access must be
granted to {SID}.
This would ensure that whoever is authorized to login would be able to
execute mount commands. Note that all keys down to Users need to be opened
for READ access only, otherwise RegOpenKey will fail with permission denied.
On another note, how about adding a flag to mount telling it that the
mount is NOT to be persisted, in a similar fashion to the net use
/persistent:no command ? This would bypass the need to write to the
registry and unmount on exit.
Thanks again,
Dan.
PS. For the archives:
Problem:
The mount -u command fails if a domain user's registry hive is not
downloaded from the domain controller and no local hive cache exists.
Current workaround:
Our best workaround is to give all potential users FullControl permissions
to the HKLM/Software key, and mount everything as a system mount. The
security risks are that any user can modify/change/delete all registry
information under HKLM/Software.
There's a limit of about 25 mounts that can be created this way before
hitting a built-in limit of maximum 30 mount points per system+user.
Restricting write access to the HKLM.../cygwin/mounts v2 subkey will still
result in a Permission denied, since cygwin 1.3.12-2 tries to open all
HKLM keys (down to HKLM/Software/mounts v2) with write access.

From the manual page for 'rxvt': TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is similar to xterm(1). Selection: Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to the end of the region and release; Right click to extend the marked region; Left double-click to select a word; Left triple-click to select the entire line. Insertion: Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or Shift-Insert) in an rxvt window causes the current text selection to be inserted as if it had been typed on the keyboard. -Original Message- From: Thomas Mellman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 2:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: xrvt clipboard access How you access it will depend upon how your mouse is set up. For example, using a three-button mouse, I'm able to paste the contents of the Windows clipboard to rxvt by clicking on the middle mouse button. That's good for some pasting jobs. Under Linux, I also have a function key defined to paste so I don't have to go reaching for the mouse. I haven't figured out how to do that with cygwin yet, though. But, it might be useful to mention in this context that you can also access /dev/clipboard. for example: $ note /dev/clipboard (note: note is my script) -- Thomas Mellman [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Die clevere Geldreserve: der DiBa-Privatkredit.

missing awk.exe and gawk.exe in Cygwin download

Re: cvs executes illegal instructions
Steve, When a 'cvs commit' is invoked without the -m option, an editor is started to create the message. Which editor is started is determined (in order of priority) by the -e flag, the CVSEDITOR environment variable, the VISUAL environment variable, and the EDITOR environment variable. Please check what the values of these varaibles are (if they are set). In case none of these variables are set, cvs invokes the system default editor (i.e. 'vi'). Please see whether you have a non-cygwin vi in your path (by running 'which vi' or 'bash -c type -a vi').

RE: missing awk.exe and gawk.exe in Cygwin download
Just to correct a misconception for the archives: you download packages using setup.exe. You go to the Cygwin Package Search page to find out which package contains the file or program you need. So, the correct procedure to install a file you're missing is: 1) Go to http://cygwin.com/packages/ to find out which package contains a particular program or file. 2) Run an existing setup.exe that you have on your system and select that package for installation. 3) If you want the latest setup.exe (usually unnecessary unless you're notified by setup that a newer version is available), click on the Install now link on the main Cygwin page, http://cygwin.com/ , to download it, and then repeat step 2.

How does cygwin map / to c:/cygwin?
I am very confused about how cygwin maps its root to the c:/cygwin directory. I'm also not sure what /cygdrive is. When I type gvim /etc/passwd from bash, gvim comes up with an empty file called passwd in c:/etc (which doesn't exist). If I try to write this file, gvim fails, which, of course, it should. (The gvim I'm using is the one compiled for NT). Can someone tell me why this happens? Also, when I try to tab-expand /cygdrive/c/..., bash can never expand the files. For example, if I type $ cd /cygdrive/c/winntab, bash cannot complete the 't' and instead beeps. But if I complete it for bash by adding the t and the pressing return, bash will cd me to the c:/winnt directory. Can someone tell me why this is true?

Cygwin: name of an lwp-request script (HEAD) clashes with /bin/head
Hi, When installing LWP through CPAN, the installation creates the GET, HEAD and POST scripts in /usr/bin. On Cygwin, the name HEAD clashes with an existing program, /bin/head.exe (Cygwin assumes a .exe extension if it cannot find a program, so /bin/head normally invokes /bin/head.exe). Windows mostly disallows files with the same name in different cases, unlike Unix, which has no trouble distinguishing between HEAD and head. So, to accommodate the users of Cygwin and others using case-insensitive filesystems, can the scripts GET, HEAD, and POST be renamed to GET.pl, HEAD.pl, and POST.pl? Would this break a lot of existing functionality? Thank you. Igor Pechtchanski P.S. I've cc'd the cygwin mailing list, as this is relevant to Cygwin. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
