Is cygwin responsible for ntldr is missing?
Last night I uploaded, installed and ran the cygwin X11 server on my home computer (Windows 2000 professional). All fine (except that inside cygwin my Swiss-French keyboard was not treated correctly). When I shut down cygwin was still running, so I let the shutdown process kill it. This morning I cannot reboot my system: ntldr is missing all the time. I am inclined to think that it must be related to cygwin. Maybe cygwin plays around with the partitions.

RE: Server Test 70
Hi, I now realized that I can avoid the problem I reported before if I invoke rxvt (or xterm) from startxwin.bat without the run command. Usually i had a line run rxvt ... in order to avoid an open command window. If I delete the run then I have to minimize the command window by hand but all subsequent windows invoked from the original xterm work fine. How can this be explaine?

The only minor problem I have is with LyX (uses xforms) - the drop down menus do not follow the window when it's moved, they always open at the original place. Otherwise, I love it. Thanks Kensuke!

Connect from Unix to Windows via ssh and start an applycation which is using the windows display
I have the problem to start an application on windows 2000 from a unix host. I decided to do that task over ssh because of security reasons. The application has to use the display of the windows workstation. I installed cygwin on the windows host and configured the ssh-deamon as a windows service. Now I can login from a linux host to the windows machine, but I have a problem to start an application with a graphical surface. If I try to start notepad.exe for example, the shells hangs and I have to stop with CTRL-C. If I call a Cygwin-Shell on the windows-host directly and type notepad the application works correctly. If I try a ssh localhost on the Cygwin-Shell I have the same problem as described above. Of course I know about the mechanisms of forwarding displays under unix/linux (like: xhost + hostname, export DISPLAY= hostname:x.x,,... ), but this seems not to work, because I want to connect to a display of a windows host and not to another X-Server.

With VNC you are able to forward display, mouse and keyboard to another machine. Thereby it is possible to connect from UNIX to Windows and start the application via mouseclick.

Re: Connect from Unix to Windows via ssh and start an applycationwhich is using the windows display
Axel: Since you provided us with nothing to explain what you are trying to do, we all had to guess. If you need aceess to Windows GUI applications (you mentioned Notepad), you need a way to export the GUI. Windows is not X-Windows based so you have to use something else. We suggested VNC. There are others. Rdesktop if the Desktop is NT 4 or higher. You could run Windows Terminal Server and use either Rdesktop or the Citrix ICA java client. BTW, I use and SSH tunnel for VNC everyday. I can run any application I want included Cygwin applications.

Re: Re: Connect from Unix to Windows via ssh and start an applycation which is using the windows display (more deatails)
O.K. I think I should explain my problem more detailed. Because of company confidentials I only will describe the principal problem. We have a unix-host, running several services. On this host we want to call a script ( e.g. perl or bash-script) which starts an application on the windows machine. The windows application itself is served by a human operator on the windows host. In other words: The only task of the unix machine is to start the application, nothing more. Our intention is to use an ssh-connection to do that task.

In other words: The only task of the unix machine is to start the application, nothing more. Our intention is to use an ssh-connection to do that task.

Hi Kensuke, I commented out the window manager startup anyway. Besides, if I just run XWin -multiwindow from the command line, it shouldn't seg fault should it? JS. In multiwindow mode, don't start window manager. We must write code that behave as window manager, but I have not done yet. By the way, I made X Server move/resize window, instead of window manager. But changing z-order of window is still in X client side, that will cause problems.

REQUEST I am MR REUBEN SAVIMBI one of the favorite sons of Mr.JONAS SAVIMBI (The Rebel leader) and also the head of the Unita Forces of Angola who was killed in the Struggle between Angolan arm forces and his unita rebels On Friday the 22nd of February 2002. I am from Angola but currently I am currently on exile due to the War in my country between the Rebel Group (Unita rebels) Led by my father Jonas Savimbi and the Angolan Government. I want a trust worthy, honest and God fearing individual to go into business Partnership with and that is the reason why I have decided to contact you. The fund for investment is US$45.5M (Forty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and Diamond worth over Twelve Million Dollars. This fund was realized from the sales of Diamonds during the crisis between the Unita Rebels (headed by my father Jonas Savimbi) and the then President Jose Eduardo dos Santos Of Angola. I fled from my country with this fund, which my father suppose to use procure more arms for the Unita Rebels. This is because I felt that the battle waged by the Unita Forces was more of rebellion and it was baseless. I had this fund sealed in a diplomatic box and deposited in a private Security Company in Europe. I will need assistance from you to use your facilities to effect the removal of this fund and subsequently transferred to your nominated account in your country. This business has to be done in a more confidential manner. For participating in the business with me, I have two options for you. You can choose to have certain percentage of the funds or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. The money is presently lodged with a security firm and I will give you further details immediately I hear from you. Please contact me immediately for the next line of action then I will introduce you to the security company where the funds are been deposited. I would like you to include your personal phone and fax numbers for more confidential Communication with the Security Company. I will like you to understand that I have no access to telephone for now so you are advice to contact me through my email address. Regards REUBEN J.SAVIMBI. (For the family)

RE: less-378-1 : ANSI escape sequences in perldoc output
I have searched the archive for the keywords 'less ansi', but the only information I got back were the mails that we sent about this subject. I also do not understand what a discussion about slashes and backslashes in POSIX and Win32 paths has to do with ANSI escape sequences in formatted visual output.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lynx-2.8.4-5
I've updated the version of lynx to 2.8.4-5. This version is identical to 2.8.4-4 but now linked against openssl-0.9.7. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. The, run setup and answer all of the questions. Note that we do not allow downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

Paasword validation in Windows Domain ?

I would like to setup web service on the intranet, which can only be used by certain persons. Since I a have no interest in creating and maintaining a user database, it would be nice if users of the service can be prompted for their name and password, and that I can validate these against the current domain.

AFAIK, you can almost do what you want. It should all work provided you keep
your /etc/passwd up-to-date as you add and remove users. NB: Passwords are
*not* stored in /etc/passwd, they are checked with Windows - i.e. what you
want.
I suggest that you look at mk{passwd,group} -d and see if you can work out
an acceptable way of regenerating this on a schedule or when users are
created/removed.
Max.

Re: BSOD on cygwin
Im not sure what happened, but my problem went away. I do not have VPN or an antivirus program running - I turned those off due to some problems with other software earlier. No firewall software either - I have an external DLink firewall. For the record, here's what I did that seemed to fix things: 1. I reinstalled cygwin 1.3.8.1. cygcheck ran once after the reinstall, but failed again on subsequent runs. The machine still crashed when I tried to ./configure guile. 2. The configure script was dying at a uniq. I tried running uniq on a file, from the command line. It crashed the window (not the machine), with a windows popup message about some dll. I didnt note it down (unfortuntely). 3. I restarted another cygwin window and reran uniq on the same file. This time uniq went through. 4. I reran configure (note that I havent *changed* anything after the earlier run, when the machine crashed). It went through cleanly. 5. I double checked. 'cygcheck' also returns proper results. Since I did not actively modify anything, Im mystified why things went through after I ran uniq on the command line.

I'm guessing that others will only be able to 'deny'. As mentioned, BSOD is an O/S issue/bug, which means it's at least difficult to resolve in application software and is certainly much better resolved in the O/S itself (or quite possibly software drivers). Certainly in the case that the problem is caused by drivers (and AV software uses these too), the problem software is not necessarily installed on a 'typical' Win 98 machine, which is why I said I expect others won't be able to confirm your results. I'd highly recommend following Igor's suggestions. The fact that you can't get cygcheck to run correctly for you again makes me highly suspicious that something on your system other than Cygwin is actually causing your problem. In my opinion, you're more likely to find the source of your problem by looking outside of Cygwin.

I wasnt sure if the first one had gone through, since I never got a copy myself. So I figured Id messed up and posted again. Anyway, the problem (as I mentioned earlier) is that on my windows 98 machine, with the latest cygwin, I get a blue screen of death when I try to run configure --disable-shared on guile-1.4.1. (Im using 1.4.1 because Im tyring to compile TeXmacs). Ive since dug around a bit, crashed my machine a hunded times, and collected logs. I found that the configure script dies on line 4791, at a line that goes if sort conftest.nm|uniq conftest.ntM;then I get an empty conftest.nmT and the machine dies. I tried running the same command from command line. The first time I ran it, my cygwin window froze (although my machine didnt die), but thereafter Ive been able to run it from command line. However, running the configure script kills the machine at the uniq again. Im attaching the configure script, the config.log, and the conftest.nm files (the conftest.nmT file I get is empty). I hope this is not bad practice, but I figure they would help find the problem. The tail of the config.log file should indicate where exactly my machine dies (every time!). Also, as per Igor Pechtchanski's suggestion, I ran a cygcheck -s -v -r and am attaching the output. Curiously, cygcheck -s -v -r gave me output the first time I ran it. Afterwards, running the command simply gives me no output at all - it simply runs silently and comes back. Im not sure why this is so - I was pretty sure it was supposed to repeat the information everytime I ran it. I hope this doesnt indicate a bug with my setup.

Cygwin vsFTPd porting issues
In my (seemingly) never ending search for a firewall friendly, Cygwin
ftpd server, I finally stumbled across vsFTPd. By firewall friendly,
I mean being able to specifying the range of passive ports used during
data transfers.
Although, vsFTPd does not use autoconf, the code is well factored --
especially the system dependent routines. Hence, it ported to Cygwin
without many problems.
See the attached patch for the details. The following are the most
notable changes:
1. Temporarily workaround a mmap()/fork() problem by effectively
replacing vsf_secbuf_alloc() and vsf_secbuf_free() with malloc()
and free(), respectively.
2. Add Corinna's standard NT authentication patch.
3. Workaround lack of Cygwin nanosleep().
4. Workaround lack of Cygwin setregid() and setreuid().
The mmap()/fork() problem workaround is the only show stopper. When I
strace vsftpd, I get the following error:
311 37332969 [main] vsftpd 2232 fixup_mmaps_after_fork: recreate_mmaps_after_fork,
mmapped_areas 0xA042100
90 37333059 [main] vsftpd 2232 fixup_mmaps_after_fork: fd -1, h 1F4, access 1,

160 37333219 [main] vsftpd 2232 fixup_mmaps_after_fork: ReadProcessMemory failed for
MAP_PRIVATE address 0xB4, Win32 error 299
I will try to dig deeper to determine why ReadProcessMemory() is failing
with ERROR_PARTIAL_COPY (i.e., 299), but any help or pointers will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason, On Mon, Jan 13, 2003 at 09:36:24AM -0500, Jason Tishler wrote: 160 37333219 [main] vsftpd 2232 fixup_mmaps_after_fork: ReadProcessMemory failed for MAP_PRIVATE address 0xB4, Win32 error 299 I will try to dig deeper to determine why ReadProcessMemory() is failing with ERROR_PARTIAL_COPY (i.e., 299), but any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated. If you can figure out why that happens, I'd really appreciate a simple testcase. Please compare the above with the strace output generated by mmap(), probably you will find a discrepancy like the address in the above strace output is not inside of a mapped block. It's also a big difference if the mmap is mapped anonymously or to a file since the mmap() code behaves pretty different. Another way would be to remove MAP_PRIVATE from the mmap() call and try again. MAP_PRIVATE is somewhat problematic on Windows hosts, unfortunately.

Newbe getting errors from CYGWIN dll
Dear cgywin:
Just installed latest everything from your site.
I am trying to use the latest gcc to compile a small program of my own.
When I do I get:

Can you please give me some advice?
Total content of program:

Bug in g++: Testcase exits with segmentation fault
The testcase attached to this mail compiled with g++ 2.95.3-10 or g++ 3.2 20020927 under Cygwin 1.3.18 exits with segmentation fault. It seems to be an error in g++ as the testcase doesn't work under Linux either. Can anyone help or do I have to report this error to the GCC website? BTW I found two ways to make the testcase work: 1) Change line 64 (and 70 respectively) and use observer *Observer instead of std::listobserver. I compiled the testcase with STLport-4.5.3 under Linux to see if it's a bug in the Standard Library but got again segmentation fault. 2) Remove line 75 which is a simple poll(NULL, 0, 2000). It works without this line but I don't know why.

Re: BSOD on cygwin
Sounds to me like the problem was that you installed Cygwin over an existing Cygwin installation, the existing DLL was locked in place by running Cygwin processes, and that you didn't immediately reboot after exiting setup so that the new DLL could be put in place. I believe setup warns you of potential misbehavior in this mode. Certainly, this would explain the 'bad behavior until reboot' scenario you report. Any chance that this was your issue?

I do not have VPN or an antivirus program running - I turned those off due to some problems with other software earlier. No firewall software either - I have an external DLink firewall. For the record, here's what I did that seemed to fix things: 1. I reinstalled cygwin 1.3.8.1. cygcheck ran once after the reinstall, but failed again on subsequent runs. The machine still crashed when I tried to ./configure guile. 2. The configure script was dying at a uniq. I tried running uniq on a file, from the command line. It crashed the window (not the machine), with a windows popup message about some dll. I didnt note it down (unfortuntely). 3. I restarted another cygwin window and reran uniq on the same file. This time uniq went through. 4. I reran configure (note that I havent *changed* anything after the earlier run, when the machine crashed). It went through cleanly. 5. I double checked. 'cygcheck' also returns proper results. Since I did not actively modify anything, Im mystified why things went through after I ran uniq on the command line.

I'm guessing that others will only be able to 'deny'. As mentioned, BSOD is an O/S issue/bug, which means it's at least difficult to resolve in application software and is certainly much better resolved in the O/S itself (or quite possibly software drivers). Certainly in the case that the problem is caused by drivers (and AV software uses these too), the problem software is not necessarily installed on a 'typical' Win 98 machine, which is why I said I expect others won't be able to confirm your results. I'd highly recommend following Igor's suggestions. The fact that you can't get cygcheck to run correctly for you again makes me highly suspicious that something on your system other than Cygwin is actually causing your problem.

I wasnt sure if the first one had gone through, since I never got a copy myself. So I figured Id messed up and posted again. Anyway, the problem (as I mentioned earlier) is that on my windows 98 machine, with the latest cygwin, I get a blue screen of death when I try to run configure --disable-shared on guile-1.4.1. (Im using 1.4.1 because Im tyring to compile TeXmacs). Ive since dug around a bit, crashed my machine a hunded times, and collected logs. I found that the configure script dies on line 4791, at a line that goes if sort conftest.nm|uniq conftest.ntM;then I get an empty conftest.nmT and the machine dies. I tried running the same command from command line. The first time I ran it, my cygwin window froze (although my machine didnt die), but thereafter Ive been able to run it from command line. However, running the configure script kills the machine at the uniq again. Im attaching the configure script, the config.log, and the conftest.nm files (the conftest.nmT file I get is empty). I hope this is not bad practice, but I figure they would help find the problem. The tail of the config.log file should indicate where exactly my machine dies (every time!). Also, as per Igor Pechtchanski's suggestion, I ran a cygcheck -s -v -r and am attaching the output. Curiously, cygcheck -s -v -r gave me output the first time I ran it. Afterwards, running the command simply gives me no output at all - it simply runs silently and comes back. Im not sure why this is so - I was pretty sure it was supposed to repeat the information everytime I ran it. I hope this doesnt indicate a bug with my setup.

fcntl() bug? if called second times!
Hello,
I try to comiple an run the distcc package - but I get errors while running.
I figured out, tha the problems are the fcntl() calls - perhaps
ther is a bug in cygwin?
The following code runs differently in cygwin and linux.
If I want ro lock the whole file twice, but still the same process, I will
get an permission denied error on cygwin.
The same code works on linux!
=== Cygwin console
heiko@HEIKO ~/src/fslock
$ ./fslocktest
Lock 1
Lock 2
lock failed: fslocktest.txt: Permission denied
=== linux console
heiko@linux:~/src/fslock ./fslocktest
Lock 1
Lock 2
Below is the code to reproduce the error.
I'm using the following software:
- Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1
CYGWIN=ntsec
- Cygwin DLL version info:
DLL version: 1.3.18

I read it once again and hence I like to (try to) contribute - see below. it's very worthwhile to check the FAQ, email archives and other documentation for this kind of information before posting to the list. I googled and searched for ping.exe since about 4 hours today. I found some scripts in python and perl that might emulate a ping, found someone proposing to wrap MS-ping and emulate the return values by regexp the output and so on. Also I looked through various cygwin systems and package lists to find the appropiate cygwin package. I also searched UnxUtils and the GnuWin32 project and the MS site incl. knowledgebase. All without success. I learned a lot about raw icmp sockets and why only root is allowed to open them - making ping a setuid program. It's generally a time-saver for everyone as well as a good habit and good information source. :-) Larry, really I think I was quite prepared before asking the list. I really didn't want to waste some of your time or to offend you by 'just asking' - maybe I should have written more clearly that I already tried to inform myself a a lot prior to asking. I think 'ping' is a VERY essential tool and part of even every mini-linux/unix, I didn't just ask for some package . 'ping' is one of THE basic programs. It's even so essential that even MS makes a 'ping.exe' :-) So I thought and think that Cygwin must also provide a ping - and if not, there must be a good reason. That's why I finally asked the group - I thought that maybe I could also save some precious time not searching further for hours or try to compile sth. that isn't possible with cygwin (yet). The answer to your last question might even already be in the email archives (and maybe not but at least then you'll be pretty sure you're not covering ground the list has already discussed). I googled a lot and didn't find something. The search engine on the cygwin site gives internal server errors every second try, but the first 3 pages of results also didn't answer. I also tried to compile by myself, but Lapo isn't right: AFAIK the usual ping.c compiles and works well on CygWin. Unfortunately not. There are lot's of include (and mybe more) problems that have to be solved OK! I'm willing to contribute and try to solve that. If noone here has some other idea I think I found some missing program in the great cygwin-world. I'll try to compile ping from ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iputils-current.tar.gz and I'll tel you about my success or failure later. (Just to make clear and not to annoy: Is it allowed according to the mailing list regulations to ask the group for possible help while the development of such new packages? Or isn't that list the right place?)

Re: fcntl() bug? if called second times!
Hello, Cygwin doesn't support advisory file locking. It implements file locking via the Win32 api LockFile*. Find out more here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/lockfile.asp And more specifically this part: [...] Locking a portion of a file for shared access denies all processes write access to the specified region of the file, including the process that first locks the region. All processes can read the locked region. [...] In fact I think the Win32 error code returned in this case is ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION and Cygwin translates it to EACCESS. Some time before I started porting sendmail to Cygwin and met this problem. I decided to try to implement something like advisory file locking for Cygwin back then but lack of time prevented me from doing so :( On Mon, 13 Jan 2003, Heiko Elger wrote: Hello, I try to comiple an run the distcc package - but I get errors while running.

Re: Setting up cvs on Windows 2000
For what its worth (perhaps nothing) based on other comments about this working sometimes... I got cygwin CVS working using the pserver protocol with no heroic efforts. Not having used CVS before, I could have done something heroic and didn't even know it, but I doubt it. 8-). 1) I set the CVSROOT, CVSPASSWORD environment variables 2) Seem to recall needing to fully qualify the hostname in CVSROOT, i.e. export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/repos/foobar 3) cvs login I pretty extensively use the eclipse CVS plugin, but the cygwin stuff I use for batch changes and I've done more than a few checkouts/updates/commits with no problems thus far.

Details of their arduousness were not reported, however. Searching for CVS, pserver, external and / or SSH will help you zero in on the pertinent messages to the Cygwin mailing list. It's possible that ongoing improvements in Cygwin have made pserver work (with less effort). Since I know nothing of the problems that impaired pserver function, I can only offer this as a guess.

Re: xinted rsync bluescreen
Dan, It seems most likely from this that the problem is in your file system. When's the last time you ran CHKDSK? I seem to recall other reports that were for some reason associated with accessing Cygwin's /etc. I cannot explain this other than perhaps as simple coincidence. I'm not familiar with exactly how much memory protection is in place in Windows 98. I'm under the impression that it's more than on Windows 95, though it is not really a fully protected environment as exists on Windows NT, 2K and XP. That means that it's conceivable that a putative bug in Cygwin could trigger a BSOD under 95 or 98 that would knock down only a single process under one of the other OS versions. However, judging from the crash dump you supplied, if Cygwin is at fault, it's rather indirect. When memory isn't protected, a symptom can appear far separated in time from the actual software defect that caused it. Still, it is pretty unlikely that this is a Cygwin bug. If the problem were in Cygwin, then probably others would have it, too. Check your disks, maybe update your drivers and try fully de-activating any virus checkers or firewalls--they seem to be the worst culprits. Although it seems unlikely for the symptoms you're reporting, video drivers seem to be a weak spot in Windows and they seem to get updated more than any other class of drivers. So much so that I check the Matrox site monthly for driver updates. Good luck.

The page says to use guile-1.4.1 The message was posted in Nov 2002, so I assumed the info was fairly recent. I also actually tried guile 1.6.0 right out of the box. When I tried to compile TeXmacs I got errors relating to guile (and the dreaded blue screen of death followed.

Tab completion list takes enormously long time to generate from empty string
Greetings. When I press tab in bash without having typed anything at all (which is somewhat abusive but it easily happens), bash works for 15 minutes, going through $PATH looking for executables (and in the end producing nothing) on a 2x450 MHz PIII. Is that normal? My $PATH contains the usual /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin, the WINNT and System32 directories, plus some relatively neglectable ones (18 directories in total), but the number of directories in the path and the time it takes to go through their contents is not the problem. Matching an executable in the last directory in $PATH only takes about 0.2 s. Instead, the huge size of the resulting list seems to be what causes the delay, especially when considering that no disk I/O at all is performed during 14 min 59 sec of the 15 minutes... I suspect that someone has chosen a sorting algorithm with time complexity O(N^2). Or O(2^N)... Maybe I can find that out myself.
