Re: antiword-0.34
Hallo Igor, http://familiehaase.de/cywgin/antiword/antiword-0.34-1-src.tar.bz2 http://familiehaase.de/cywgin/antiword/antiword-0.34-1.tar.bz2 http://familiehaase.de/cywgin/antiword/setup.hint I've looked at the binary and source packages. In the binary package, is there a reason antiword.1 is duplicated in both usr/share/man/man1/ and usr/share/antiword-0.34/? Fixed. The script in the source package doesn't give you any options for partial make, and doesn't accept the parameters of the generic_build_script (e.g., all, conf, prep, make, etc). I don't know how important that is, but thought I'd mention it. Another, much more important thing is that the script builds files on top of the root filesystem (i.e., installs directly into /usr/bin, etc) -- IMO, the source package should NOT place anything in the root hierarchy, that's the job of setup.exe; the source build should be contained in the source directory. Because of the latter I didn't build from the source. Fixed. Oh, and the script is not space-in-filename friendly. Fixed. FWIW, I had to make a change to the wtf Makefile to allow the DESTDIR parameter in the install rule, so I know it's not that much work. Especially since you're providing a Makefile.Cygwin yourself in the patch. I'm attaching a preliminary patch to your script and patch -- I tried to catch all the places that modify the global hierarchy, but please verify that. HTH, Igor All fixed. Many thanks for your review and the patch. I'll remember to address these issues in future. Gerrit -- =^..^=

BTW, are there more questions about [Patch]: Fixing the PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE security hole (part 1). from last week? Yes, actually. I am still puzzling over all of the extra logic that you pass in cygheap. I don't understand the need for special handling of children of the process that owns the controlling tty. A typical sequence is as follows (e.g. telnet) 1) inetd runs as SYSTEM, launches in.telnetd 2) in.telnetd creates master pty and forks 3) in.telnetd (child) setsid(), opens slave terminal and execs login.exe 4) login.exe calls setuid and execs bash.exe 5) bash.exe opens /dev/tty Unfortunately this requires duplicating pipes from in.telnetd and thus having PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE access to in.telnetd. As in.telnetd runs as SYSTEM, this is a security risk. What the patch does is that when the slave side is first opened in 3), the pipes are duplicated in the cygheap and passed by inheritance (until the ctty changes). There is no access/security issue because 3) is running as SYSTEM. From now on, each time the ctty is opened (in particular in 5) the patch first checks if local inherited copies of the pipes are available. If so, they are used as the source of the duplication. This obviates the need for bash to have any access to in.telnetd and thus in.telnetd doesn't need to open itself wide to everybody (in 2). Pierre
Moving devices from 98SE to XP and back again
This is a file-handling problem that I have noticed in other contexts too. Windows 98/SE is good (faultless?) at preserving upper case and lower case in filenames, whether long or short or with spaces. However, I have noticed when moving devices back and forth between 98 and XP machines, that XP is nothing like as careful, and that in circumstances that I have not yet precisely identified, one can suddenly lose this distinction when all 8.3 filenames that had been all lower case become all upper case. Mixtures of case in filenames are preserved (libW11.dll stays libW11.dll, XWin.exe stays XWin.exe) and so are long file names (cygcrypto.dll stays cygcrypto.dll) but in all other cases (less.exe, cygwin1.dll) the change takes place (LESS.EXE, CYGWIN1.DLL). In an important respect this does not matter at all: Windows is daft enough not to know there is a difference and so it does not notice it when seeking and reading a file. Eg when starting Cygwin it does not matter that cygwin1.dll has become CYGWIN1.DLL. But: Cygwin does notice, and once there, ls cyg* presents a quite different response to ls CYG* (for instance). So this is a very nasty occurrence, once it has happened. I appreciate that the list is well populated with traffic on the subject of long and short filenames but I have not found the answers to the following: (1) when moving devices between different OS as described, is there a particular class of activity that will cause this transformation?

Re: Problems with Cygwin and Procmail..

What version of Windows? What version of procmail (and fetchmail)? Calling procmail via perl scripts which are spawned by my win32 mailserver. The above is possibly the problem. Can you use a Cygwin mail server instead? We're running procmail v3.22 The official package? Or, one you built yourself? Are the above error messages displayed in a pop-up dialogs? Or, are they output to the procmail log file? Do you fork a lot in your procmail recipes? Or, do you perform most of your filtering inside procmail itself? Yes, they're displayed in pop-up dialogs.. and once we get too many of them, the filter completely stops responding, almost as if, procmail refuses to execute. We use test, formail, fgrep and various other things in the scripts.. FWIW, I run procmail-3.22-7 under cygwin-1.3.22-1 at home and procmail-3.22-8 under cygwin-1.5.5-1 at work without any problems whatsoever. To give you some idea of the volume and complexity of my home setup: 15K - 20K messages processed per month 550 line .procmailrc file Our scripts are rather complex and I'm make sure not to send large files through it.. and refused to open directories and write files, it even created a directory (I turned logging on and it's suppose to create a directory when it doesn't exist) with NO permissions, I can't even access it via administrator!! The above is probably ntsec related. Note that cygwin-1.3.2 is very old! More recent cygwin versions default to ntsec on now. Has anyone seen this or know how I can fix this.. Well, you have any ideas on how to take care of the ntsec problems?? Looks like it's not using the correct security somehow... Under NTFS, it is as easy as: $ chmod g-w,o-w ~/.procmailrc $ # etc. Maybe you need to revamp your spam recipes.

I'm just totally baffled by the behavior of this thing... I still think it has something to do with hung processes and too many processes running.. I ran a watch to count the procmail's and when it gets around 25 or so, it'll start happining with more frequency. Sorry, I don't know how to help you more.

The primary interface for the dpkg suite is the `dselect' program; a more low-level and less user-friendly interface is available in the form of the `dpkg' command. . In order to unpack and build Debian source packages you will need to install the developers' package `dpkg-dev' as well as this one. This seems OK, except for a few things: - I don't get a prompt back. - There's an rm process running that is eating up all my CPU. - The size of the control archive isn't really zi bytes. If I kill the rm process via the task manager, the message: rm cleanup failed, code 256 appears, and I get my prompt back. At that point, echo $? displays 0. I got the package from http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/dpkg.html by clicking on the Go To Download Page button at the bottom. I get the same results for other packages I built with my own two hands. I went ahead and got the source (dpkg-1.10.4-1), and built it using the dpkg-1.10.4-1.sh script (mkdirs prep conf build install). The output of the dpkg-deb I built by hand is the same as the one in the package. The stack trace is for the dpkg binary I installed with setup. Interestingly, $ dpkg-deb --contents dpkg_1.9.21_i386.deb works fine. $ dpkg --contents dpkg_1.9.21_i386.deb crashes the same way dpkg --info does. Again, both the setup-installed binaries, and the ones I built from source behave the same way. $ strace dpkg-deb --info dpkg_1.9.21_i386.deb dpkg-deb.info.strace also hangs. I'll send the strace file in another post so the mailing list software will take it. There appears to be some kind of infinite loop in rm. dpkg-deb is creating a directory in /tmp (e. g. /tmp/dpkg610ca768.0) which remains after I terminate rm.

Humblet MIME-Version: 1.0 To: cygwin-developers Subject: unlink Status: RO Content-Length: 2611 Lines: 59 Chris, It's a great idea to use FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE for unlink, but a few bells rang when I read the code. 1) ntsec / mkdir testdir / chown 1002:1005 testdir / chmod +rwxt testdir / touch testdir/testfile / chmod 577 testdir/testfile / rm -f testdir/testfile rm: cannot unlink `testdir/testfile': Permission denied The problem is the DELETE flag in alloc_sd (and sec_acl). Corinna has put effort into that and when I first saw that code I thought it was an excellent idea. With the benefit of hindsight I now think it's counterproductive. POSIX semantics do not support a delete permission in the Windows sense. Not allowing DELETE in one spot forces us to *automatically* add it in unlink, so it doesn't help at all from a Cygwin user point of view. On the other hand, if a Windows user goes out of Cygwin to remove DELETE permission on a file, then one could argue that unlink should fail. Some other action should be required from the user, unlink shouldn't go out of its way to delete the file. This is symmetric to refusing to delete a file in a non-writable directory even though Windows allows it (err on the side of caution). So I would propose to remove the DELETE code from alloc_sd and sec_acl and to leave unlink as it is, in that respect. 2) Why is wincap.has_delete_on_close needed? All Windows versions have delete_on_close capability. This is a snippet on WinME with a file on a shared directory mounted on Win98. 152 325366 [main] rm 36050599 unlink: _unlink (e:\xx) 6422 331788 [main] rm 36050599 unlink: 1 = CloseHandle (0xCC) 1237 333025 [main] rm 36050599 unlink: CreateFile (FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE) succeeded 158 333183 [main] rm 36050599 unlink: 0 = unlink (/e/xx) However Win95 does not have FILE_SHARE_DELETE, so if the file is already opened the CreateFile fails (and wincap.has_delete_on_close won't be looked up). Is there reason to believe that a file won't be deleted if the CreateFile succeeds? It would violate MS semantics. I couldn't create such a case, but I don't have access to many types of shared drive. Perhaps the test after the CloseHandle could be if (win32_name.isremote () GetFileAttributes (win32_name) != INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES) then handle CreateFile (FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE) failed 3) I don't understand why there are so many SetFileAttributes after CreateFile succeeds. If the file will be deleted, its attributes are don't care. If it won't, then we undo twice what we just did before the CreateFile. Also it's an easy test to decide if the SetFileAttribute before CreateFile is needed.

What Linux version corresponds to a specific cygwin version?
Hi, after some research this question remained unresolved, that's why I want to post it to the list. Some applications, e.g. C-Kermit 8.0 (http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80binaries.html#linux), offer a variety of binary versions, e.g. Red Hat 7.0, Red Hat 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 9, AS2.1 and much more. The question is: What version I have to download for a certain cygwin version? uname shows for the latest cygwin version CYGWIN_NT-5.1. cygcheck -s shows as cygwin dll version 1.5.5. Are there any rules how to map this version information to a certain Linux version? I think I cannot rely on the compatibility with the latest Red Hat version - also because of the fact that Red Hat doesn't offer only one version ... Thank you for your help.

If I profile my multi-threaded application, it appears that only the main thread is profiled. Currently, yes. Actually, I think I was only partially correct. Time for the main thread is accumulated, but function calls are counted for all threads. This creates misleading data. True. I primarily just use PC sampling and not call counts, so I forgot about that part. You can, however, profile other threads one at a time if you use the gprof API's manually, called from the thread you want to profile. I have done this, but it has been too long for me to give you specific instructions. Have a look at profile.c, profile.[ch], gmon.[ch] in the cygwin sources to see how its done. Thanks very much, this advice is a great start. I didnt see any way in the mcount function (winsup/cygwin/mcount.c) to specify a particular thread. I did see the possibility of calling moncontrol(1) to enable time accumulation for a particular thread, and searching dejanews, noticed that this is a recognised approach to multithreaded profiling. Well, I might be able to devise a way to count only one thread's calls, but it would be horrifically slow. PTC While you're there, it should be fairly trivial to create a patch that at least loops through all Cygwin created pthreads in the sampler. I don't know if that kind of flat profile is what you wanted, though. Sometimes per-thread profiling is useful, but a flat profile is what I want for now. Not so much for optimisation, but porting. If a thread is taking x% cpu on system 1 and y% cpu on system 2, then per-thread profiling is useful. If the whole application is running much too slow, then the flat profile is useful. I havent figured out how to get per-thread cpu on cygwin yet anyway. Flat profiles are usually what I want also. For per thread cpu see: snipped dll discussion You commented that dll code is difficult to profile. Would you kindly send me a few references to this, or keyword sets, my searching is blank. I am aware of the profiling cygwin information, and assume you mean extra to this. Points 2 and 4 here are what I was referring to (note that they are applicable to all DLLs, not just cygwin1.dll). http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2002-q2/msg00206.html I couldn't seem to dig up any more detail easily. 2.) Paraphrasing, the UNIX profil call (that gprof.c is currently using), has a contiguous flat address space model. It hashes address samples over that space into a buffer. The starting and ending address are automatically pulled from the executable and are in its address space. DLLs are mapped outside this space non-contiguously. 4.) Paraphrasing, gprof doesn't know how to find and read the symbol tables from DLLs linked into the executable. I'm not even sure if the addresses are deterministic. -- Brian Ford Senior Realtime Software Engineer VITAL - Visual Simulation Systems FlightSafety International Phone: 314-551-8460 Fax: 314-551-8444 -- 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/

Re: 1.5.4-1: Problem with XEmacs, fonts, and subprocesses.
It is true that making a xemacs.bat file which contains c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /bin/bash -c /usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs makes XEmacs run correctly under cygwin 1.5.5. (Actually one needs to add a line 'set cygwin=tty ' before that line if one does not already have it in the windows' environment). Alternatively one can run it from rxvt. By running correctly I mean nvoking secondary processes like opening a shell or compiling a program. However the bigger question is why XEmacs ran correctly before from its icon on the desk and it does not run correctly now? It must be something that has changed going from cygwin 1.3.22 to 1.5 that prevents runnung this application from the dos command line when it was compiled with cygwin. In 1.3.22 it ran flawlessly. It seems that this change affects also some other applications. I wonder also if once XEmacs is compiled with 1.5.5 it will also run from the dos prompt or icon or not. Henry S.

Updated: libmcrypt-2.5.7-2
I have updated the cygwin port of the libmcrypt encryption library. Libmcrypt is a library that provides access to several symmetric block and stream encryption algorithms. The following algorithms are implemented: 3-Way, Arcfour, Blowfish, Cast-128 (known as Cast5), Cast-256, DES, Enigma, Gost, Loki97, Panama, RC2, Rijndael-128 (AES), Rijndael-192, Rijndael-256, Safer-sk64, Safer-sk128, Safer+, Serpent, TripleDES, Twofish, Wake, XTea. The block algorithms can be used in the modes CBC, CFB, CTR, ECB, OFB, NOFB and NCFB. Separate runtime and development packages are available. This release corrects a packaging issue in the 2.5.7-1 release. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Libs and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

New package: mhash-0.8.18-1
I have packaged the mhash library. This is a library that provides a uniform interface to several hash algorithms. It supports the basics for message authentication by following rfc2104 (HMAC). It also includes some key generation algorithms which are based on hash algorithms. Separate runtime and development packages are available.

Updated Cygwin Package: proftpd-1.2.9rc2p-1
New News: === I have updated the version of ProFTPD to 1.2.9rc2p-1. The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. Users are urged to upgrade to this version due to a remote exploit vulnerability. See the following for the details: http://www.proftpd.org/index.html The following are the other notable changes: o http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2176 o http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2179 o FHS compliance Old News: === ProFTPD is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security, and ease of configuration. It features a very Apache-like configuration syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support for multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based directory visibility. See the ProFTPD home page for more details: http://www.proftpd.org/ Please read the README file: /usr/share/doc/cygwin/proftpd-1.2.9rc2p.README since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. 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. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically.
