The machine I'm connecting to is running HP-UX and yes, CDE. wrt the font server. Is it a matter of me running a font server on my local machine or having a font server running on the machine I'm trying to connect to? If they're not running a font server and I'm able to get them to run one, does the configuration on my local box have to change? It is a matter to have the fonts available needed by the HP-UX CDE environment for your X server. This can be done by either copying the needed fonts from the HP machines to your local XFree86 installation (something I can't help with) or use one of the HP machines with the needed fonts as a font server.

Window-95 (WIN95) and CYGWIN, unable to open display
Last week (14 of Nov. 2002) i downloaded CYGWIN, installed it on WIN98, all works fine. All WIN-Computers are connected in a LAN with my LINUX-Server. With CYGWIN on WIN98 i can do all, that i need: rlogin, rsh, ftp, telnet. And of course use CYGWIN as X-Server for programs, that run under linux. Now i wanted to install CYGWIN on a WIN95-computer, there i have problems: o as with WIN98 i used startxwin.sh, the X-Server starts, i can see it, it runs, i can move for instance the mouse. But then i can see the messages vom twm, xsetroot and xterm: .. unable to open display '127.0.0.1:0.0'. I could see, that the X-Server did something, changed colour to black, went off, came again. o To test what happens i startet first XWin.exe, waited until it was running, then i made: xhost +. Again the message: .. unable to open display '127.0.0.1:0.0'. The X-Server changed to black, diappeared, came again with the colour, before i made xhost. o Then i made the next attempt: i startet XWin.exe, and tried on my LINUX-computer: DISPLAY=192.0.2.10:0.0 ; export DISPLAY ; xterm. I got the answer from the WIN-95-X-Server, that this is not allowed. This was what i expected, because xhost did not run correctly und WIN95-CYGWIN. o I made the next attempt: on WIN-95, under CYGWIN BASH, i made: telnet 192.0.2.112, i got the Login-Prompt from LINUX to enter the name, but when i typed the first letter of my Login-Name, this letter was endless repeated. I made the same attempt on another WIN-95- Computer, exakt the same, with telnet the first letter i entered was repeated endless. Then i testen on WIN-98, there telnet did all right. This shows: under WIN95 there is something other than in WIN98. Perhaps there is the problem, as the programs speak with the X-Server over net-moduls, as ist telnet does. rlogin and ftp worked correctly under WIN95, in opposite to telnet. All my computers have fixed IP-Adresses (WIN-95: 192.0.2.10, LINUX: 192.0.2.112). Perhaps you can help me. If not, i know, that CYGWIN only works fine with NEWER WIN-Operating-Systems. Perhaps i have an problem with errors in WIN-95. I made the test also on an newly installed WIN-95-computer, with ONLY WIN-95 installed, nothing other. Also on this computer i got the error-message unable to open display .., and also telnet repeats the firs letter of my Login-Name endless. Georg Fischer +--+ !

Re: Window-95 (WIN95) and CYGWIN, unable to open display
Georg, You more than likely just got a bad version of the Cygwin or one of the Cygwin packages... we have been working on fixing a few bugs over the last few weeks. Please run Cygwin's setup.exe again and let it grab any packages that have been updated. Then report to us if you still have the same problems on Windows 95.

Cygwin XFre86 - Redhat XDM login
Hi all, I've been reading man pages, FAQs, and everything I can think of under Cygwin, RedHat 7.1, and the XFree86 web site. I have been trying to figure this out off and on for months. However, I can not figure out how to run an XFree86 session under Cygwin on my WinXP Pro system to get a login session on my RH 7.1 system. I have played with the files in /etc/X11/xdm on the RH system. I played with XWin, xinit, and startx with -queue host and -broadcast options under cygwin. All I get on the Cygwin side is no X11 window at all or a blank checkered default pattern X11 window. I do not seem to be getting any error messages besides Giving up. I've been dealing with X11 for over 10 yers. But this XFree86 stuff is causing me to pull out my hair! BTW, XDM is running fine on the RH box and Gnome comes up just fine. I just don't keep a monitor attached to the system and the system is in another room. Any help to figure out what I am doing wrong will be really appreciated. Thanks! Steven :) -- trying to keep a happy face.

This is where host-based applications are integrated into web-based applications. The most common example of this is the IBM product Host On Demand. The obvious way to do host integration with X Windows is to use the same approach as HOD. Use a java applet implementation of X (WeirdX) and place the applet in a web page.

Hi, Since the native GUI model for Java programs running on Unix and Linux hosts is X11, any and all Java GUI applications running on such hosts are inherently able to have their human user interaction take place on a separate host (or X terminal) from the host on which they execute. Likewise, multiple application clients (in the X sense of client--an application that wants to interact with a user via keyboard, moust and raster display) can share a single server (again, in the X sense--i.e., user interaction hardware). This should make it possible to handle migration or load balancing of the Java application while the user remains at a single workstation. So, any Java software with an AWT or Swing GUI when running on a Unix platform with X support (all of them except MacOS X, I believe) should be able to do what I think you're contemplating. Now usually one does not put conventional Java GUIs on J2EE applications (to my limited knowledge), but I doubt there's any technical reason why it could not be done. Is this at all an answer to your question?

Good idea! Me too. But that must go into both functions,
get_attribute_from_acl() and alloc_sd().
OK for get_attribute_from_acl (which is where the /var/empty
problem originates), but why for alloc_sd () ?
The patch will do the right thing, whereas the current code
can give rise to unexpected results. See below.
chmod 755 /var/empty (which has owner == group)
With patch
**
owner: system
group: system
acl: system7
everybody 5 == Effective result 775
Currently
*
owner: system
group: system
acl: system7
system5 == Note duplicate entry
everybody 5 == Effective result 775
A more interesting case is
chmod 575 /var/empty (just as an illustration)
With patch
**
owner: system
group: system
acl: system7 == Single entry, 5 | 7
everybody 5 == Effective result 775
Currently (if user system is NOT listed as a member of group system in
/etc/group)
*
owner: system
group: system
acl: system5
system7
everybody 5 == Effective result 775
Currently (change mkgroup -u to list user system in group system)
*
owner: system
group: system
acl:system deny 2

system7

Here is the ntsec patch #4 diff. As discussed before, the main motivation
was to handle more robustly incomplete passwd and group files.
In the process I fixed some bugs in related code and added
getpwsid and getgrsid.
This does not try to completely address the issue of invalid pointers
after a re-read of passwd and group, that will be for later.
Note that there is a small bug fix in the getgroup32 code from
yesterday and some streamlining in is_grp_member.

The bar to entry to a tight sshd install under the cygwin installer may be too high for most newbies. Hi, I'm the cygwin setup maintainer. Have they said what's wrong? That you need to run a shell script after installing? That cygwin1.dll changed ntsec defaults and broke many half-setup sites? Maybe as a compromise I can start using standard cygwin directories. That seemed confusing, and would definitely hose up some people that are used to my current structure, but I'd be willing if it's really causing communal heartburn. Urggle. PLEASE DON'T. Let me be more clear: Please only install into the cygwin directories using the cygwin setup.exe codebase. I'm happy for you to fork the setup.exe code (and then track the changes via CVS). Heck, you could even have a branch in the setup CVS to do that in if needed. So you could provide a different UI and address whatever unspecified issues your users have.

Installing PostgreSQL on Windows using Cygwin
***For those accustomed to setting up on Linux, you do not need to run 'configure' and 'gmake' to install PostgreSQL...Cygwin performs the install for you, however it puts the executables in the /bin dir vs. the default PostgreSQL install dir of /usr/local/pgsql. *** --Dowload and install Cygwin, which can be obtained at www.cygwin.com (though I guess you already know that if your reading this entry) -- You can pick any of the packages you want, but you'll need at a minimum...Base (this is the default), PostgreSQL, Bzip2 (under the Utils section; I believe it grabs the libraries automotically in the Libs section, but I manully selected those just in case). I recommend grabbing VIM editor as well, though not required. --Open a bash shell, by clicking on the Cygwin icon created by the install (assuming you checked the boxes at the end of the install) --Install cygipc (V1.13), you can download the file from... http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/ You'll need the bzip2 utility to do this, hence why I said to grab it in step 2. You'll find it in /bin. In order to uzip files, copy the bzip2.exe to bunzip2.exe. --Execute the command 'bunzip2 cygipc-1.13-2.tar.bz2' --Then copy the cygipc-1.13-2.tar to / and execute the command 'tar xvf cygipc-1.13-2.tar' --Execute the command 'ipc-daemon ' from a bash shell Now you are ready to proceed with the normal PostgreSQL setup --Execute 'initdb -D /data' (or wherever you want the database created) --Run 'postmaster -D /data' (also use the -i option if you plan to connect from another client) --Then create the database and all the other typical PostgreSQL stuff.

encountered a show-stopper: The linker can't resolve symbols
involving wide C++ strings. Here is an example:
#include string
#include iostream
using namespace std;
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
std::stringwchar_t test;
}
-
$ g++ test.cpp
/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/nigels/LOCALS~1/Temp/ccHP4AMl.o(.text+0x25):test.cpp:
undefined reference to `std::basic_stringwch

Re: minires + rblcheck works

There are numerous packages ported to cygwin using it, if I go by the cygwin mailing list. Is it just the lack of someone to package it or is it a policy issue? Here are some possibly bad reasons why I didn't submit minires as a cygwin package: 1) The package requires standard include files (resolv.h and nameser.h) that are not part of Cygwin and that can conflict with similarly named files from other packages (such as bind). If minires was a standard package the files would go under /usr/include, which could cause mayhem if people download the package without realizing the consequences. 2) I am not completely happy with the current version. On Win2000 and XP I would like to interface with the built-in Windows resolver.

Re: gcc 3.2 stringwchar_t link problem
Hi Danny, Thanks for the hint. Does this mean that I need to rebuild libstc++? My impression is that this is a bug: Either wchar_t is supported, or it isn't, but that should be compile-error rather than link-error. And also, since I've done a full Cygwin install, what more is needed for wchar_t support? Thanks, Nigel Stewart Danny Smith wrote: Look in /usr/include/c++/3.2/i686-pc-cygwin/bits/c++config.h // Define if code specialized for wchar_t should be used. /* #undef _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T */ libstdc++ configure script could not find enough C runtime support to provide C++ wchar_t support. -- 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 such file, but it's right there
Fred, Cygwin follows the Windows convention of using file file name suffix .exe for its binary executable files. While Cygwin will locate and execute files files given only the base name (sans suffix), other uses (cat, less, or more apropos nm, size or file) demand the full file name, including the .exe suffix.

Cygwin's open function won't. It has been this way for four or five years. It has nothing to do with the mount command.

Re: gcc 3.2 stringwchar_t link problem
Digging around the gcc.gnu.org site, came across PR 4764 in the bugs database: http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl *Description:* On Solaris 8, std::wstring is not available, because libstdc++/aclocal.m4 checks for too many functions The following functions are not available on Solaris.

ls problem
Hello, I've been using cygwin for 3 years now and last week, I downloaded the latest cygwin from one of the mirrors and everything in well except for one problem. I noticed that whenever I type 'ls -', the output gets delayed for a few seconds. This never happened to me using the old cygwin. I checked the man pages of ls and I didn't find a clue on how to make its output faster. I got to the /bin directory and did a 'time ls -l' and these are the results. real0m3.942s user0m0.249s sys 0m0.530s This is my current bash version : $ bash --version GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(5)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Then, the current ls version: $ ls --version ls (fileutils) 4.1 Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie. Copyright (C) 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. The fileutils version is fileutils-4.1-1. The queer thing is that the fileutils version of my former cygwin package is exactly the same as with the new one. Any help to fix the problem? Thanks a lot!

Best Regards, Carlo Florendo Astra (Philippines) Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carlo, It would have been more helpful if you had provided your cygwin version, but even without it I could venture a guess... The latest versions of cygwin have ntsec on by default, and doing 'ls -l' will result in the user lookup in the /etc/passwd (and /etc/group) file. An easy way to test that is to time 'ls -ln' and see if it's faster. Another test would be to *temporarily* turn off ntsec (by adding nontsec to your CYGWIN environment variable and reloading cygwin1.dll by exiting all running cygwin processes). I say temporarily because ntsec is actually a very useful feature to have on, and this is suggested only as a means to find out whether it's the culprit. You can restore the state by either changing nontsec to ntsec, or leaving it off altogether, as it's the default now, and reloading cygwin1.dll again.
