[Ready for test/1.5.1] cvs-1.11.6-2
With respect to the curr: release of cvs (1.11.5-1), this is a version
bump from 1.11.5 to 1.11.6, in addition to recompiling
against cygwin-1.5.1 and moving the documentation to /usr/share/*. With
respect to the previously release test: version, this one is recompiled
against cygwin-1.5.1 not 1.5.0, and the documentation has been moved to
/usr/share/*.
!WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING!
You must convert the gdbm database files in your
CVSROOT directory of all locally-hosted repositories
from pre-cygwin-1.5.0 to post-cygwin-1.5.1. You
can do this using the 'convert-gdbm' script in the
new (1.8.3-4 or newer) package.
cd ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT
convert-gdbm modules.db
convert-gdbm val-tabs.db
But back everything up, first! No warrantee, express
or implied, yadda yadda yadda.
!WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING!
However, if you've already converted your databases when you upgraded to
the previous test: release of cvs (cvs-1.11.6-1) then you do not need to
do so again.

RE: XWinrc configurable server (menus/icons)
Hi all, The most recent patch looks pretty good from your description. c) Replaces %display% with 127.0.0.1:display.0 in commands Huh, I was going to say that %display% should be replaced with 127.0.0.1:0.0, but then I remembered that we know the 0.0, but we don't know that the user connected via 127.0.0.1. However, should we just choose to replace display with 127.0.0.1:d.s where d is display and s is screen? I know that some users report better performance when using their actual ip instead of lookback for DISPLAY... ... because the performance of cygwin's tcp implementation is more than twice as much as the unix domain implementation. I assume that this is caused by the additional security and emulation stuff overhead, which is needed to implement unix domain sockets on top of tcp sockets. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-01/msg01719.html for further details. Ralf

If I wanted to hear you be dismissive and condescending, I could've just gone back and read the list archive. Dismissive and condescending? No, that was not my intention, sorry that you got that impression. I'm not a developer, but I am a user interested in the development of this project, and I'm doing what I can to contribute through testing and reporting bugs. Moreover, I have a fair amount of academic traning in human-computer interaction and user experience engineering, and my suggestions are based on a thought-out analysis. I don't doubt that you have plenty of training. However, have you read your suggestions and talked to some programmers about them? Here, lets take a look. [Yes, now you should be intrepting my remarks as generally pissy, snotty, dismissive, and condescending]. 1. X should run as a service. There's no reason for it to run as a user-launched app. This really doesn't matter and, in fact, is probably incorrect. Cygwin/XFree86 needs to interact with the display (else you could use Xvfb), so running it as a service that won't always have a desktop connected is pointless. Furthermore, a machine shared by multiple users (like a Terminal Services server) will not be able to service all users with a single instance of XFree86 running. Another point is that, I believe, services that interact with the desktop need to run under an actual user account and it would be silly to have XFree86 running under 'bill' when 'steve' is logged in. Besides, this could be done with a simple shortcut in the Startup group in the Start menu. In fact, that should be done and had all of the bugs worked out before anyone talks any further of services. 2. All X client application on one's machine should have shortcuts associated with them in the start menu, and these shortcuts should be created automatically during installation. This is icing on the cake. This is the kind of thing that Microsoft hires 500 college interns to write in the summer because it takes a hell of a lot of time and attention to detail to get it 'right', whereas the overall benefit is very small in comparison. Furthermore, this requires interacting with the Cygwin setup developers. You think I am mean? 3. Exiting X (e.g., by stopping the service) should list all cygwin processes that were launched under X and prompt the user to terminate them. For example, an ssh-agent launched from an xterm should be killed automatically. Huh? Exiting X right now kills all connected clients. There is already an Are you sure? warning dialog. Free software is all about bang for the buck; the above feature might be nice, but it only matters to marketroids. Enmity aside, it wouldn't take too long to actually consider and respond to what I suggested, and I would welcome discussion. Yes it would. It took me like 10 minutes to write this reply. I don't have to be party to any and all discussions that take place on this list. I wrote my reply and said my piece. Others were free to jump all over your email and praise it. Furthermore, you got a reply to your message from Earle indicating his interest. So, I don't see why you have to have a beef with me when you appear to already have another supporter with influence. After all of that, my position is exactly as I stated, without malice, in my original email: those suggestions will go on the wish list, below other more fundamental problems like crashes (-clipboard when copying large amouns of text) and startup failures (with -clipboard and -multiwindow). There is still a lot of architectural work that needs to be done before we will start worrying about icing the cake. Harold

Re: SSH session terminates with Ctl+C
Jeff Nokes wrote: I've ran into a strange issue, one of which I have not run into before with cygwin. I have a W2K workstation at work, and I use cygwin to ssh into both Solaris and RedHat Linux boxes to do development. Sometimes, while ssh'd into a remote host, I have to 'Ctl+C' out of a process when it hangs. When connected to the Solaris boxes, the Ctl+C just puts me back at the command prompt on the remote host, which is what I would expect it to do. But when I'm connected to a Linux box and I Ctl+C out of a process, not only does it kill the process on the remote Linux host, but it kills my active ssh session with that host and puts me back in the default cygwin shell in my W2K environment. If you're using CMD.EXE for your command prompt you might try setting tty in the CYGWIN environment variable. Also, give rxvt a try. Make sure that your TERM is set to Cygwin or rxvt for CMD.EXE and rxvt, repectively. You shouldn't have to explicitly set TERM to anything, it should take the correct value without forcing it.

For some reason the tooldir variable does not get set to ${exec_prefix}.
The reason is that the top level Makefile defines tooldir, and passes it
down through the FLAGS_TO_PASS mechanism, causing it to appear on the
command line of the sub-make. And command line variable definitions override
normal definitions of variables inside Makefiles.

Re: SSH session terminates with Ctl+C
Did you check the versions of sshd running on Solaris and Linux? FWIW, ssh into Cygwin from Cygwin shows the same results as you say you get from Solaris. But this doesn't seem to be a Cygwin problem. If checking the sshd versions doesn't shed light on the problem, I would suggest taking the question to a SSH forum, perhaps with a bent toward Linux. I understand what you are saying, but I don't think it is the case. I've actually sat physically at the Linux boxes, using X, and ssh'd to localhost and I can login just fine. I can Ctl+C all day and it doesn't kill my ssh session. I can use SecureCRT from my W2K workstation, and it doesn't kill my session. I can even use cygwin to ssh to the Linux boxes (forwarding X packets), and run an xterm on my local W2K Xserver, and Ctl+C doesn't kill my ssh session. It's only when going from the bash shell in cygwin to the remote host, and using Ctl+C that this issue happens. That's why I was thinking that something local in the cygwin environment is catching that signal, and terminating my ssh session, or something like that. In response to the issue with the TERM being set properly. I've tried leaving the default 'cygwin' tty and set it to 'vt100', the behavior is still the same.

Since I don't know anything about the various flavours of getopts around and what is posixly correct and what not, and I guess a lot of other users don't know neither, how about updating the man pages to be in synch with the current behaviour and adding a paragraph on the POSIXLY_INCORRECT_GETOPT stuff?

Seems in a way that you're saying I don't care if what I built doesn't work for this or that because it's Microsoft's problem. I really don't think you as one who is quick to let Microsoft define what he can and can't do - as you yourself have said I fix all sorts of problems in cygwin which are really windows problems So indeed you pick and choose which *Microsoft* problems to fix that keep cyg*win* from working - all along *denying* it's a cyg*win* problem .

Re: Win2k and cygwin memory leak
May I call you Jim? I may be clueless, but I'm not stupid. I would never question King Faylor's ability to find and fix, or work around a memory leak (and I even respect his decision not to) but I would certainly question yours As for the venom being spewed on this thread, all I want to say is that I spent hundreds of hours cobbling together work-arounds so I could get an open source automated infrastructure working in a large organization. Cygwin is just one piece of the puzzle - but it is a critical indispensible piece. I consider my time just as ( if not more ) valuable than anyone else's participating here. These disputed memory leaks were for me the biggest obsticle preventing me from achieving my ultimate objective - which saved my company hundreds of thousands of dollars they otherwise would have had to spend to acquire the solution from third party vendors. It would have been nice if there was an acknowledgement of this problem (cygwin's or not) rather than attempted character assassinations. But the value that Cygwin delivers for me and my organization is so valuable and irreplacible that *putting up* with the *meanness* here is small price to pay to get the answers I frequently need.

getopt output reordering (was: xmlto package install question)
Talking to Tim Waugh, the author of xmlto, revealed that the order of arguments doesn't matter on his system (that's Red Hat, I guess), whereas it matters indeed on Cygwin. Investigating it a bit further revealed that Cygwin's getopt differs from what he expected: getopt -- o: xmlto -o foo bar should output this: -o 'foo' -- 'xmlto' 'bar' Cygwin's getopt outputs like this: $ getopt -- o: xmlto -o foo bar -- 'xmlto' '-o' 'foo' 'bar' Checking the archive I found a thread from back in January talking about the inability of Cygwin's getopt to do reordering of arguments. I guess we're facing here the same issue: the option arguments are not output before the non-option arguments. Was any work done wrt this issue? Is anything planned? Tim is going to update the xmlto usage information to reflect the proper order of arguments. Patrick Gerrit P. Haase schrieb: usage: xmlto FORMAT [OPTION]...

RE: Has ANYONE got telnet via xinetd working on 2000 *SERVER*??( or 2003)
BOY - WAS THAT PAINFUL. I did *finally* get it all working - but it sure seems like there's got to be an easier way. Some lessons learned: 1.If you were set up for inetd *before* you attempt to use xinetd, be sure to set the CYGWIN environment variable. CYGWIN='binmode tty ntsec' I had the registry modified instead for inetd and it didn't occur to me till after about 12 hours of trying everything else that this could be the culprit. 2.I found that copying the sshd to xinetd was not necessary. The default one that is put down with the xinetd install seems to work just fine. 3.Be sure to run iu-config in addition to everything else to set up the /etc environment if cygwin is truly a fresh install. 4.Make sure that /var/log is universally writable. If the xinetd service doesn't start when doing net start init then stop init service, remove /var/log/servicelog and make sure /var/log directory is writeable for all. Start init service.

Telnet/Ftp via Xinetd INSTALL - SETUP Instructions ### 1.Do a clean install (or REINSTALL) of inetutils, xinetd, sysvinit, chkconfig, and initscripts Note: inetd will NOT be running as a service, but the xinetd does need inetutils installed. Beyond simply putting the pieces on your harddisk via setup.exe, DO NOT follow any of the instructions regarding *inetd*. 2.Make sure your CYGWIN enviroment variable is set: CYGWIN='binmode tty ntsec' 3.run /bin/iu-configto set up the /etc folder. 4.run /usr/bin/init-config, NOT overwriting any config files, just install init as a service 5.cd /etc/rc.d/init.d then /usr/sbin/chkconfig --add xinetd 6.net stop init then net start init 7.telnet localhost THANKS VINCE!! # had time to try this today, works fine. steps were, 1) clean install included inetutils, xinetd, sysvinit ,chkconfig and initscripts (and vim but whatever editor you like ;) 2) run /usr/bin/init-config, NOT overwriting any config files, just to install init as a service. 3) copy /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd to /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd and edit to make appropriate to xinetd (available on request) 4) cd /etc/rc.d/init.d then /usr/sbin/chkconfig --add xinetd 5) net stop init net then net start init 6) $ telnet localhost Trying 127.0.0.1...

I was adding some clarification to the issue by changing a may be to a definitely is. I think that this kind of clarification is more useful than your message, which essentially says If we could figure out what was causing the problem then maybe it could be fixed. Personally, I don't see how that observation is useful. Having had some experience with this, I find it highly doubtful that any useful data will come from people posting their me too experiences. If someone wants to fix this then researching the Microsoft Knowledge Base might be a place to start. A google search might also be helpful. Could it be *possible* that cygwin leaves some memory allocated? Does windows claim to free all memory allocated by a process when it exits? Even Windows 95 should be enough of an operating system that it should free memory on exit. If that was not the case, I could easily write a program that would bring the system to its knees. Of course that is easy to do with Windows 9x in any event but I haven't heard about this particular problem there. What about cygwin shared memory? I suppose it is possible that cygwin could be allocating shared memory. That would disappear when the last process which had a pointer to it went away. I haven't heard that it has been the case that memory reappears when all cygwin processes disappear. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Weak attribute unsupported?
Hello, I am trying to compile an internal test suite built originally in Linux. Under cygwin, I get multiple definition errors for functions that have the weak attribute and are overridden elsewhere.

Re: Controversial what if.... we disable ntsec by default again?
Mark Priest wrote: Max, What problems is ntsec causing? I am a relatively new user and I have not had any problems with it. In fact it is allowing me to host a more secure ssh server installation. I have been following the list for a couple of months and I have not seen many problems relating to ntsec. Most of those that I have seen regarding ntsec seem to stem from configuration errors by users rather than from anything inherent in ntsec. It is hard to comment on this without knowing what the specific issues are. [Finally replying - been busy recently] Essentially, ntsec requires an understanding of the interaction between Cygwin and NT ACLs that first time users will not necessarily have. If you have that understanding, and are willing to spend the time to get things working as you want them - great!. But for an average single-user machine, ntsec can be a hinderance.

That behavior is seen on a bare Windows machine with no Cygwin installed but for tar 1.13.25 and cygwin1.dll. When I installed a Cygwin build environment in order to debug the problem, the problem disappeared. But its easily reproduced on a bare Windows machine. Biederman, Steve wrote: I want to allow the users I support to be able to run Cygwin tar on their Windows machines. These machines have not had any Cygwin installed; they're just bare Windows machines. I provided them tar.exe and cygwin1.dll and assumed that with these, they could run Cygwin tar sucessfully. It appears that that isn't the case: machines without Cygwin installed see different behavior than machines which have it installed. (Running tar on machines without Cygwin installed creates incorrect tar archives.) What is the minimum I need to provide to a non-Cygwin Windows machine to get Cygwin tar to run reliably? This may not be apropos today ... Several years ago I was trying something similar, get a minimum, standalone amanda distribution. The distributed gtar was not yet 1.13.25 so I compiled my own. It needed another cygwin provided dll besides cygwin1.dll. Sorry I don't recall which one, nor do I know if that requirement still exists. jl -- Jon H.
