The SSH1's vulnerability is protocol immanent, described in detail here: http://www.corest.com/common/showdoc.php?idx=131idxseccion=10 The DSA key vulnerability is described in the openssh source archive, file WARNING.RNG but it's so short, I can quote it here: A particularly pernicious problem arises with DSA keys (used by the ssh2 protocol). Performing a DSA signature (which is required for authentication), entails the use of a 160 bit random number. If an attacker can predict this number, then they can deduce your *private* key and impersonate you or your hosts.

Comments in setup.exe ?
Hello, As I'm working on setup.exe (see former messages), I'm wondering if a commented version of this program would exist anywhere ? If so, where ? Some functions are quite difficult to understand, unless for me... PS : I'm working on the CVS HEAD version which hasn't much more comments than just the headings ;-) Thank you !

Re: [patch] Help Option
max@POMELLO [/mnt/install] $ ./setup-2.296_i.exe -h -h --help Show this help I believe it's better to describe the --help option as Show help output and exit instead of referring to this. The reason is that one can use a script like GNU help2man to create a usable man page from the help output, at which point this ceases to be meaningful. The and exit part is totally optional, I don't know if anyone expects it to continue execution afterwards anyway. A setup.exe manpage might also help people without the CYGWIN=tty (or is it notty?). I'd be happy to put it in cygwin-doc once the CLI options are there. The cygwin-doc release schedule has been much slower than setup.exe's but if the options remain fairly constant that shouldn't be a problem.

Is it your intent that every new DLL will have to specifically call _pei386_runtime_relocator? The dll may have its own pseudo-relocs. When app.exe uses x1.dll which in turn uses x2.dll. Now, imagine x1.dll references some data in x2.dll with addend. That means that when linking x1.dll ld will generate pseudo-reloc, which have to be resolved when x1.dll is loaded. I suppose that dll_crt0_1 is the place to handle this, but, of course i may be wrong. So, the above paragraph is a yes then. I can see that over ld-land you are generating an undefined reference for this symbol if the --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc switch is used. Not exactly. The reference is generated whenever --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc switch is used _and_ at least one pseudo-reloc is generated. Ok. Is this just to ensure that there is an error message when linking with a new version of binutils but an older version of a dll that's being built? The idea is to produce link-time error when we build final binary and link it with runtime library. If the binary has at least one pseudo-reloc then runtime ought to have support for them. This means that either libcygwin.a or crt0.o or whatever object file placed in gcc's spec file to be linked in when final binary is built, has to export _pei386_runtime_relocator. Ok. I was thinking that a call to this code would live in the application but obviously that's wrong. It has to live in the DLL. You mean cygwin1.dll here, right? Or client dll application is linked with? I meant the application, as in the application does the fixups. But that was a thinko on my part. Wouldn't that mean that it should be added somehow to _cygwin_dll_entry winsup/cygwin/include/cygwin/cygwin_dll.h ? It only have to be called during application (or library, in case of app.exe-x1.dll-x2.dll) initialization. Did you look at the cygwin_dll.h file? Are you saying that you don't think the call should go there? cgf

[ITP] grace 5.1.10
Hi! As I needed this program for my work anyway I packaged grace for cygwin. Grace is great for data analysis/presentation and it compiled OOTB. I only changed the default on-line documentation viewer from netscape (obviosly not there) to lynx and the default editor to nano. Here are the setup.hint and the URLs: # No comment sdesc: Grace is a WYSIWYG 2D plotting tool for the X Window System and M*tif. ldesc: Grace is a WYSIWYG tool to make two-dimensional plots of numerical data. It runs under various (if not all) flavors of Unix with X11 and M*tif (LessTif or Motif). Its capabilities are roughly similar to GUI-based programs like Sigmaplot or Microcal Origin plus script-based tools like Gnuplot or Genplot. Its strength lies in the fact that it combines the convenience of a graphical user interface with the power of a scripting language which enables it to do sophisticated calculations or perform automated tasks. curr: 5.1.10-1 category: XFree86 requires: cygwin XFree86-base jpeg libpng12 lynx nano URLs: http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/setup.hint http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/grace-5.1.10-1.tar.bz2 http://www.scytek.de/cygwin/grace-5.1.10-1-src.tar.bz2 The packaging process was based on Method Two from http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents . Please let me know if there are problems or bugs. I tested/used the package on a Win2K and a Win98SE system, both with cygwin 1.3.16 and all binary mounts.

Noises and grindingly slow progress. It's ~99.44% working now. I've mainly
been working on getting it non-resizeable but allowing different-size pages
(i.e. a bigger chooser), but the work applies equally to dynamic resizing.
Though the latter would still require considerable work.
Are there any bits that are ready to be brought into HEAD. Just to

Actually, yeah. I've made some changes to window.{h,cc} that shouldn't wreck

Re: Xwinclip doesn't work with Konsole
If, on the other hand, the applications work fine with xclipboard, then maybe we will be able to do a better job of handling the selections. Well actually I can't even get the cygwin one to run let alone do anything. It pops up a small window with a very confused button set then shows cancel or something similar every time I try to use it. Using the openwin (solaris) xclipboard these applications work fine, the selection is fine and everything works as expected. We are not doing a very good job of figuring out how the commercial X applications out there handle clipboard integration. They *never* grab the primary selection and they always have the most recently selected text from either clipboard. Only ever when you leave one of their windows. Don't forget that they, like you know when you're window is left. That is the time to find out if anything has been grabbed. Also I'm fairly sure that most messages go through the X server so it shouldn't be very difficult to trap drags, ctrl+c's etc. Or more likely the real message ids. Maybe they are doing this through polling, which we are trying to avoid, but I am not even sure how polling would solve the problem (unless you poll for the selection, compare it to the old data, and act accordingly, which would put a huge demand on network bandwidth...). I doubt polling would solve much. Either way you are still causing unnecessary bandwith hogging when you steal ownership, not much most of the time but heh. More importantly the way that most X users expect the selection system to work (again as a user) is like my fix had made i.e. don't grab the selection. As a side point, yes I prefer my version of xwinclip to exceeds rather poor clipboard handling, including the recent release. Plus it always crashes and it's dead slow. I prefer cygwin/xfree86 by a long shot. It is our problem (well anyone who wants to use xwinclip) and it should be fixed. The hook dll doesn't need to be used as XWin can notify the app itself (if you have it inbuilt into xwin then multiple instances of xwin won't work properly together (although I'm not sure they do anyway), i'm talking about running xwin more than once not a screen option). Oh please. Integrating the clipboard support into the XWin.exe executable is not going to forbid it from working with multiple screens run by one executable, nor is it going to forbid multiple instances of XWin.exe. The oh please is a little childish don't you think? I never said it would forbid anything. But in terms of real issues that would have to be tackled: - setjmp and longjmp would not be usable within the xwin, they work on stack unwinding and would unwind the whole stack (pos solution to run as a thread but xlib doesn't like that very much). - if you do have multiple instances of the code that does the selection handling you will have to use ipc mechanisms to handle the change in selection loop (xwinclip a and b). A notices that an applicaiton in it's instance has changed the selection, it copies it to the clipboard. B notices that the clipboard has changed and claims ownership, a notices that an app If R4 programmers could do it, I'm sure you or I could. You might have to program a little more carefully, but there is nothing about having the functionality present in XWin.exe that prevents anything from working correctly. Never said there was. You have mentioned before that X-Win32 is using an Xt-app for their clipboard support... but I have never noticed such an app. I'm a little confused here I have never mentioned X-Win32 before in my life. I did mention Klipper for KDE that I found before solving the problem of inter toolkit selection grabbing. But never X-Win32. I can remove the hook by patching xwin to send out WM_ACTIVATE message's to a single xwinclip instance (this of course can be run from within XWin anyway). But I think that's not what you want either. I just want a solution that works identically to the dozen or so commerical implementations that have conquered this very problem. I won't be satisfied until we have clipboard support that rivals the commercial X Servers for MS Windows. As I and others have said here, the commercial ones aren't much better but they don't grab the selection (it's about the only good thing they do). Either way unless you can obtain source code or a developer who worked on these you're stuck as to identically doing it. The question you have to ask yourself is if you need to do that. You seem dedicated to copying the selection every time a user highlights something. Why? I doubt seriously that commercial software is doing something so obviously wastefull.

Re: About Lesstif
Philippe, Lesstif is supported in Cygwin/XFree86 in that there is a package of it available that works quite well for most people using it. However, you are correct that there is not someone assigned to spend a lot of time digging deep into issues that are affecting only a few users. Those affected users will have to step forward and diagnose such bugs on their own, hopefully fixing them and sending the patch to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that a new package of Lesstif can be released that fixes their bug.

Re: Memory Leak install Binutil ?
David, I do not think that your problem has much to do with the failed binutils install. Rather, I think that your problem has something to do with either a failed installation of the new version of the Cygwin DLL or it is due to a problem with the new version of the Cygwin DLL that was released just a day or two ago. If it is the former, then you should try reinstalling the cygwin package (which contains cygwin1.dll), if it is the later, I am sure that we will hear tons of corroborating reports in the next several days :) Harold David Worthen wrote: Hi All, I am trying to install binutils on cygwin running under Win 98. = Unfortunately it fails at the same spot each time (see below for the = error messages).

Re: Cygwin causes 0x00000024 Stop Error (BLUE SCREEN)
Since 6/7 months I have 0x000a errors with my PC (Win2K SP3), the problem is very simple: when XFree is running and there is a write to /etc I got a blue screen. Here are the steps I perform: * start XFree (XWin+WindowMaker+ all that is launched by startxwin.bat); * open a xterm; * touch /etc/pippo (or any other file you want, within /etc). Crash dump says the problem is caused by NaiFiltr.dll (McAfee). Perfect, I will disable McAfee (disable system scanning and all other scannings, close applications, stop services, disable services, rename McAfee directory in order to be sure it will not load, reboot). But when I retry (with McAfee disabled), I got another nice blue screen, now the cause seems to be ntoskrnl.exe. Looking at the stack I understand that when file system is modified in some way the OS will inform varios applications (maybe registered ones?) of the occurred modifications, so that they can do something (e.g. when the antivirus knows that a file is modified it will scan the file). It seems that the blue screnn occurs when the OS try to perform this notification.

[Patch] skipping import libraries for performance reasons - direct auto-import of dll's
Hi all, the recent ld contains support importing of symbols located in other dll's through import libraries. Especially for big libraries using import libraries has some big disadvantages: 1. ld need much time and very much memory to process them - This is because each symbol is located in a seperate objectfile and ld opens a bfd for each. 2. The size of import libraries could be very huge (for example 10 MB for qt-3) - This is because each symbol is located in a seperate objectfile. current ld releases are able to skip import libraries by grabbing the needed informations directly from a dll. The only issue which was open until now, is that ld has no auto-import support for linking directly to a dll, but this is be fixed with the appended patch. Using dll's directly instead of import libraries has several advantages: 1. linking goes much faster (for qt-3 about 50%: from 2 minutes down to one minute) 2. ld uses much less memory (for qt-3 about 70%: from 500 MB to 150 MB) 3. ld works more like the linux version. There are only static archives and shared libraries which could be linked directly without the indirection of using import libraries. This simplifies for example libtool handling. How does it works: See the example path layout. There are two dll's xxx.dll and yyy.dll in an applications bin dir. In the lib dir there are the import library for xxx.dll and a link to the dll cygyyy.dll. ../bin/ cygxxx.dll cygyyy.dll ../lib/ libxxx.dll.a [cyg|lib|]yyy.dll (may be the dll or a symbolic link to ../bin/cygyyy.dll) Now the link line (you can see that using the dll directly is the same as using the import libraries, there is no difference) gcc -Wl,-verbose -o a.exe -L../lib/ -lxxx -lyyy ... The ld log below shows, that for xxx the import library is used and for yyy the dll is directly used. This means, the only task of using the dll instead of the import library is to replace the import library with a symbolic link to the dll. snip == attempt to open /usr/lib/crt0.o succeeded /usr/lib/crt0.o attempt to open client.o succeeded client.o attempt to open ../lib/libxxx.dll.a succeeded !!! ... attempt to open ../lib/libyyy.dll.a failed attempt to open ../lib/yyy.dll.a failed attempt to open ../lib/libyyy.a failed attempt to open ../lib/cygyyy.dll failed attempt to open ../lib/libyyy.dll failed attempt to open ../lib/yyy.dll succeeded !!! snip Info: resolving _var by linking to __imp__var (auto-import) Info: resolving _foo by linking to __imp__foo (auto-import) Info: resolving _func_ptr by linking to __imp__func_ptr (auto-import) I have tested this patch with recent qt-2/3 and kde2 sources without any problems.

Problem with Cygwin DLL: 1003.15.0.0 1003.16.0.0
Hi, I have come across a problem with cygwin which relates to the Windows CreateProcess() function. Tested on Cygwin DLLs: 1003.15.0.0 1003.16.0.0 Windows 2000 sp3 I have a Visual C++ program which uses CreateProcess to launch an executable much like the example provided in the attachment. The example has been hard coded to execute a cygwin compiled binary (ls) as this is what I was attempting to do in the real thing. When the program is run from a dos command prompt, it all works perfectly. However when the program is run from cygwin bash, the launched program (ls) fails with a read exception somewhere in the cygwin dll. If the program is changed to execute a non cygwin-built binary, it all seems to work fine. I also bring your attention to the following lines from the example... /* Something to do with bInheritHandles being FALSE, as when it is TRUE, it works. */ CreateProcess(0, cmd, 0, 0, FALSE, DETACHED_PROCESS | NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, 0, cwd, StartupInfo, ProcessInformation); When the CreateProcess call is changed so handles are inherited, it all works perfectly. If this is the wrong place to report an issue like this, then please let me know where I should email instead. I couldn't spot any other likely candidates. Regards, Steve Fairbairn. test.c PS.

Re: gcc problem?
I didn't program in C for a long time but as far as I remember,
scanf read 1 string using white space as separator.
to enter aaa bbb ccc
you need scanf(%s %s %s, ...) or gets
use gets
or scanf(%s, ..)
followed by
while('\n'!=getchar());
but you loose the extra typed words
hope this helps.

You can't flush(stdin). Nothing wrong with Cygwin here, simply the other
compilers implementing stuff that isn't part of the language. The FAQ

ample insight.

RE: dos2unix/d2u does nothing
I have seen similar behaviour to what Fred sees, but I can't remember if that was u2d or d2u. In that case the files had mixed use of \n and \r\n line endings. I presumed d2u/u2d detected a single \n (or \r\n) in the first X bytes, and assumed the file was already in the appropriate format. I 'fixed' this by running u2d then d2u (or vice versa).

You may be experiencing an interaction with a text mode mount (though from the looks of it, conv.c was ported for cygwin to open files in binary mode, so this shouldn't happen). As to the mod time, perhaps you wrote the file and then converted it within the same minute, so ls -l doesn't show a change in the modification time (even though the difference is there at the finer time resolution that the OS and / or file system uses to record file modification times). By the way, dos2unix and d2u are identical (byte-for-byte). The other thing I can think of is that you're not running the dos2unix from the cygutils package, that the version you're running was not ported to Cygwin to be immune to the mount type and (conceivably) that it resets the file's modification time after reformatting it.

RXVT geometry bug
Dear Sirs, I have observed that rxvt v2.7.2 (installed on 2002/10/27) does not correctly processes the geometry option. If I run: rxvt -fn 8X16 a 80x25 window appears that functions OK. But if I run: rxvt -g 80x25 -fn 8X16 the window that appears is BIGGER and does not properly function. For example, inside less the down-arrow does not work. If I resize this broken window, making it smaller and then bigger, so that at the end it has the same size as before, it starts working normaly. This behavior is the same for any dimensions you give. I hope that this observation could be usefull.

Re: [Patch] skipping import libraries for performance reasons - direct auto-import of dll's
Please separate policy arguments from functional arguments. Whether cygwin/mingw should drop import libs is policy. Whether libtool should use/create import libs is policy. Whether ld should support auto-import when doing link-directly-to-dll is functional. [Note: I haven't tested your patch, but it looks mostly ok] I think the ability to do auto-import when using ld's virtual, on-the-fly import lib feature (e.g. link-directly-to-dll) is valuable, and complete support (once achieved) should be accepted. However... There does not seem to be any support in your patch for the most recent auto-import capabilities -- the runtime-pseudo-reloc stuff added by Egor. So, if your patch is accepted as-is, then we have: (1) if linking to implib, then full auto-import support is available; --enable-pseudo-reloc allows auto-import of complex data (see ld.info). (2) if linking directly to the dll without an implib, then partial auto-import is available; --enable-pseudo-reloc has no effect. And doesn't warn that it fails. I *think* you'd end up with a runtime error, if attempting to import complex data. Bad. Two solutions: (1) add support for runtime-pseudo-relocs to your patch, and resubmit. You might want to work with Egor on this. (2) When doing link-directly-to-dll AND a symbol has a non-zero addend (e.g. complex data import), then behave as if link_info.pei386_runtime_pseudo_reloc = 0, even if --enable-pseudo-reloc has been specified. (Of course, IF --enable-pseudo-reloc has been specified and the current link obj is an import lib, then psuedo-reloc should occur). This complex behavior may actually be more difficult -- and more confusing -- than simply implementing solution (1). Minor nit about patch format: watch out for your tab/indentation. It doesn't match the surrounding text in many cases. Note: yes, I realize that the runtime-pseudo-reloc stuff requires actual runtime support (extra code in crt0.o for mingw, extra code in cygwin1.dll for cygwin) which does not yet exist. But it will, eventually -- and that's outside ld's purview. If normal import-lib-based linking includes support for --enable-pseudo-relocs, then virtual on-the-fly direct linking should support it too. Let mingw/crt0.o and cygwin/cygwin1.dll take care of themselves. Downside: it's hard for you, Ralf, test test whether you have properly implemented the runtime-pseudo-reloc support for virtual on-the-fly direct linking, unless you build your own cygwin kernel with the appropriate support...talk to Egor... -- 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/

I think that's just one of the redundant things libtool like to add. This really has nothing to do with libtool. Try adding that '-v' option to the command line and look at the list of libraries being pulled in by the compiler. Since the compiler pulls in mingw32 implicitly from the -mno-cygwin flag you can leave this library off. -mwindows ? Sparsely documented, if at all. I *think* it is to link as a Windows GUI exe rather than a Windows console exe. Yep. Adds flags to the linker to pull in windows GUI libraries and possibly determine which startup object to use (console vs GUI vs ...) So, I think you can lose all 3 of these. Depends on what he's coding for. I was under the impression from other email that he might need more than the bare minimum that foo.c represents. If it's likely to have graphics in it, then I'd leave the -mwindows and he can always add -liberty back in if things don't resolve.

In my experiences doing development and testing under Windows, I feel that fault drivers are mostly what causes problems (someone else mentioned this earlier and I tend to agree). Occasionally hardware does go bad. I once had a machine that the specs claimed it could take 128Mb of memory using 32Mb SIMMs, but actually could only handle 64Mb using 16Mb SIMMs. With 128Mb it became very unstable and BSOD'ed often. In that specific case, the problem was the memory controller. If you are using fairly new hardware, it's less likely that hardware is the problem, but more likely that OS drivers are faulty.

RE: Cygwin causes 0x00000024 Stop Error (BLUE SCREEN)
Anyone know of a tool (besides Purify) which could track all the resource usages of a given program? Sysinternals has a great collection of tools for this sort of thing: Handle v2.01 http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/handle.shtml This handy command-line utility will show you what files are open by which processes, and much more. Or, for the GUI minded: Process Explorer v5.25 http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml Find out what files, registry keys and other objects processes have open, which DLLs they have loaded, and more. This uniquely powerful utility will even show you who owns each process. There are other tools (regmon, filemon, diskmon, portmon) that can be used to get blow-by-blow accounts of how different resources are being used. -Samrobb -- 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/

In that case the files had mixed use of \n and \r\n line endings. I presumed d2u/u2d detected a single \n (or \r\n) in the first X bytes, and assumed the file was already in the appropriate format. I 'fixed' this by running u2d then d2u (or vice versa). Dave. -Original Message- From: Randall R Schulz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 November 2002 05:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: dos2unix/d2u does nothing Fred, It works OK for me. You may be experiencing an interaction with a text mode mount (though from the looks of it, conv.c was ported for cygwin to open files in binary mode, so this shouldn't happen). As to the mod time, perhaps you wrote the file and then converted it within the same minute, so ls -l doesn't show a change in the modification time (even though the difference is there at the finer time resolution that the OS and / or file system uses to record file modification times). By the way, dos2unix and d2u are identical (byte-for-byte). The other thing I can think of is that you're not running the dos2unix from the cygutils package, that the version you're running was not ported to Cygwin to be immune to the mount type and (conceivably) that it resets the file's modification time after reformatting it. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA Hi, All, It's in the cygwin file tree, /usr/bin/dos2unix version 0.1.2. The file was a few minutes old when I tried in-place conversion. Anything is possible, regarding preserving the file timestamp even after the conversion (afterall, I think some gzip's do that). My fix is to use it as a filter.
