It was designed as a replacement for the standard unix crypt utility, which is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. ccrypt is based on the Rijndael cipher, which is the U.S. government's chosen candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, see http://www.nist.gov/aes/). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security. Unlike unix crypt, the algorithm provided by ccrypt is not symmetric, i.e., one must specify whether to encrypt or decrypt. The most common way to invoke ccrypt is via the commands ccencrypt and ccdecrypt. There is also a ccat command for decrypting a file directly to the terminal, thus reducing the likelihood of leaving temporary plaintext files around. In addition, there is a compatibility mode for decrypting legacy unix crypt files. An emacs mode is also supplied for editing encrypted text files. - end - the packages has my +1 vote to go.

Sounds interesting. I'll vote for this.
Now for the review:
1) The documentation is still in /usr/doc and /usr/man... Any plans on
moving it to /usr/share/{doc,man}?
2) This uses method 1 packaging. AFAIU, the patch in CYGWIN-PATCHES
should still be a forward patch. Yours is reverse.
3) Any particular reason you have the make and install logs in
CYGWIN-PATCHES? Also, the make log contains a warning that looks
suspicious, and the install log shows that make install will install
files directly into /usr/bin, rather than to a subdirectory. Also,
make install will not put the Cygwin-specific README in the right
directory.
4) The file list in the Cygwin-specific README mentions /usr/bin/tree, and
not /usr/bin/tree.exe, which, IMO, is misleading.
5) There are no port notes in the Cygwin-specific README, even though
there are some user-visible changes in the patch, such as changing the
prefix to /usr and removing the -s linker flag (any particular reason
why you did that?)
6) I don't see a strip step anywhere in the installation process
(although the executable in the binary tarball is stripped). That's
actually what the -s linker flag does...
7) There is a bug in the printing of inode numbers, since ino_t is 64-bit
in Cygwin now, and it's printed using %ld (tree.c:515).
8) There is a bug that the file size is declared as u_long, and will be
truncated for large files. Why not simply change it to off_t?
I think this is it. A lot of the above is very easy to fix, so we'll wait
for a new installment soon, eh? ;-)

historical. AFAIK some people have been doing this for documentation
purpose while building packages. The log files may be helpful in
identifing possible problems that someone may observe on his local

Is it really required to patch Makefiles in order to install the

IMO, sources should be changed as minimally as required.

But don't we consider *all* packages that are installed from setup.exe to be system packages and hence reside underneath the system /usr mount point. In contrast to those who are compiled and build by users on their own, which usually go to /usr/local?!?! I changed the same semantics for Apache. Apache usualy has its instllation layout into /usr/local/apache and we addopted the cygwin-way to Apache's layout config file to reflect that it is then a system package. Ok.

I'll point out that some of the types in struct _info are all wrong for Cygwin (mode should be mode_t, uid should be uid_t, gid should be gid_t, and size should be off_t). ok, I'll consider this too. Actually, consider also changing the '#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE' in the LINUX_BIGFILE block to '#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64', removing the '#ifdef LINUX_BIGFILE...#else' block from struct _info (off_t will already mean the right thing in that case), and submitting this patch upstream.

AFAIK, either you have the orginal source tree and your patch provides the cygwin specific changes or oposite. Actually this may you apply the patch to produce the orginal source tree. Probably nobody complained because nobody dared look at the monstrous pile-o-code that those two large packages entail. I know I didn't. 3) Any particular reason you have the make and install logs in CYGWIN-PATCHES? Also, the make log contains a warning that looks suspicious, and the install log shows that make install will install files directly into /usr/bin, rather than to a subdirectory. Also, make install will not put the Cygwin-specific README in the right directory. historical. AFAIK some people have been doing this for documentation purpose while building packages. The log files may be helpful in identifing possible problems that someone may observe on his local installation. Meh. IMO this is a developer prerogative. Do as you like. Is it really required to patch Makefiles in order to install the cygwin specific README to the ..doc/Cygwin place?! I consider this an unneading hacking in sources. Not at all. The method 2 package script does this manually. (e.g part of ./script install -- which calls 'make install' and then does the extra stuff. IMO, sources should be changed as minimally as required. Yep. -s linker flag put in place again (was a simple typo). So we get stripping again. I don't see any needs for port notes to be honest. Agree (with Stipe). There's no need to repeat, in every package for cygwin, yep, used --prefix=/usr on THIS package, too! 8) There is a bug that the file size is declared as u_long, and will be truncated for large files. Why not simply change it to off_t? any scenario you can give that reproduces this?! Sure: files larger than 2GiB. off_t == off64_t == long long with cygwin-1.5.x, while u_long is just 32 bits IIRC. -- Chuck

Re: keyboard not working
** Somebody please FAQ this somewhere ** Found the solution somewhere in the email list (took me a while to perform the proper query). Check this out: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-08/msg00145.html As described there, the X server global variables XAPPLRESDIR, XCMSDB, XKEYSYMDB and XNLSPATH were set by some other program to point to /usr/X11R5. The latest Xfree included with Cygwin seems to be checking on this and so it does not work (Cygwin location for these is /usr/X11R6, not R5). In the message Pavel mentions Microsoft Services for Unix, which I have installed too. I am almost sure this is the one that created those system variables. As I do not use X from SFU (I only need the nfs capability so my local Windows drives can be accessed from Linux without Samba), I really do not care about breaking up X there and so I just got rid of those variables.

FAQ Update
I just posted some updates that Alexander made to the FAQ: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ Harold
Website updates
I have made quite a few minor changes to the Cygwin/X website (http://xfree86.cygwin.com/). Changes === 1) Add thumbnails to the screenshots page and generally change the entire layout. 2) Remove the CVS access page, since it only referred to the CVS access for the XWin Server code, when we in fact have two CVS trees: XWin Server at freedesktop.org and the documentation source at sourceforge.net. 3) Update the XWin Server Development page and add CVS info. 4) Update the Documentation Development page and add CVS info. 5) Decrease the width of the left menu bar from 20% to 15% of the page. 6) Update the FAQ with Alexander's info about Services for Unix. 7) Update the User's Guide by swapping the position of the ssh and telnet documentation to encourage people to try ssh first. 8) Fix a handful of broken links between pages. To-Do = The content of the website is largely up-to-date now and the screenshots page has been redesigned to accomodate more and newer screenshots. What I want to do now is to redesign the header, leftbar, and footer, as well as to start using a stylesheet more regularly across the site. If anyone is interested in helping, grab a copy of the source for our home page, update the colors, layout, etc. and send in a link to your updated mock-up. I would appreciate mock-ups that have use of new colors and that get rid of the alternating green and black header that we have. I can take the mock-ups that are sent in and apply the changes to the actual files. I am just looking for some help with the creative process. Harold

My application creates additional process using fork() function.
Created child process listens on a socket and exits when it receives

function call returns 0. When I have supplied any PID which hasn't
ever existed it's fine and kill(non-existentPID, 0) returns -1.
Has anyone experienced something like this?
This seems like a perfect place for a simple test case. For instance:
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include signal.h
#include unistd.h
#include sys/wait.h
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int pid;
if (argv[1])
pid = atoi(argv[1]);
else if ((pid = fork ()) == 0)
{
puts (forking a process and then exiting);
exit (0);
}
else
{
int dummy;
wait (dummy);
}
printf (%d = kill (%d, 0)\n, kill (pid, 0), pid);
exit (0);
}
I tried the above with no argument and with an argument of a
previously forked-and-exited process. Both cases produced
the expected result, as did trying this on a running process.
I suspect that you are not 'wait()'ing for the process to
exit before checking if it exists. kill(pid, 0) will succeed
on both linux and cygwin if the process is not reaped by
calling wait (or waitpid, etc.) first.
cgf
Christopher,
Thanks for a reply. I have run your test case and it really works.
So then I have modified it slightly to make it similar to what my
application is doing. Now it reproduces the behaviour of my app.
I'm running this test below in a Windows console and using Cygwin
console to display processes issuing 'ps' command. I have expected
the child process to be finished after some time(when main process
is blocked on 'getc()') but kill(pid, 0) returns 0.
Probably there is an issue lying beneath I'm not aware of.
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include signal.h
#include unistd.h
#include sys/wait.h
static void ChildExitSigHandle(int sig)
{
printf (Child termination signal received...\n);
}
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
int pid;
signal(SIGCHLD, ChildExitSigHandle);
if (argv[1])
pid = atoi(argv[1]);
else if ((pid = fork ()) == 0)
{
puts (forking a process and then exiting);
exit (0);
}
else
{
//int dummy;
//wait (dummy);
getc(stdin);
}
printf (%d = kill (%d, 0)\n, kill (pid, 0), pid);
exit (0);

Problems using libgmp.a on MSVC project.
Hello All,
I'm trying to use gmp (http://www.swox.com/gmp/) with a win32 (MSVC)
project.
I've compiled the project with -mno-cygwin (using CC=gcc -mno-cygwin
./configure) and now it
doesn't depend on cygwin1.dll (I think).
The project produced libgmp.a, I just renamed to gmp.lib and included in my
MSVC project.
However when I compile as simple program I get the following linkage errors:

(very off-topic laptop aside) - my experience
cgf - I don't know how much any of this will help, especially since I fancy myself rather low on the list of those you would entertain for *advice* - anyhow, here goes. I sympathize with you *completely* about struggling to find a way to multi-task your life. I work at least a 100 or more hours a work on the computer routinely - and am married (no kids yet). Before I even got married, I KNEW I'd have to come up with a creative solution if I wanted to continue working those kind of hours AND keep a wife *relatively* (I entertain doubts that ANY wife is ever *truly*) happy. I've been enjoying my solution for three years now, and its been BEYOND wonderful. It's exceeded my expectations a hundred fold. Basically I saved my money and bought a commercial grade projector. I own an Infocus 950 with a 2400 Lumen value. It originally retailed for $11,000.00. I bought it on closeout for the unbelievable price of $4000.00 from BH in Manhattan. The quality is outstanding, and with the high lumen rating, the sun can be shining in the window and the screen quality is undiminished. My living room is small, so I had to buy a screen since I had no white wall big enough. A 100 inch portable screen from Da-Lite ran $700.00. It's worth every penny. It actually covers a window - and when not in use, can be collapsed in 5 seconds to again show the window. I spent $1000.00 buying a new three piece sectional and did not use the middle section. Instead I moved together the couch and left-armed chaise lounge to create a rather unique living room *bed*. I built a stand-alone rack system from PVC and 2 inch electrical conduit (all from Home Depot) to suspend the projector AND computer from the ceiling since you don't want a very long digital monitor cable between the video card and the projector. The digital cable I bought cost $80.00 and is only six feet long. It was the longest one I could find without getting one custom made. Otherwise, beside the projector cable and screen, everything else can be bought routinely at Best Buy or CompUSA. Fact is, I custom built my computer myself so I could build in exactly what I wanted. I bought the ATI All-In-Wonder Card so that I could pipe DirecTV directly into the computer. Now I have not only a VERY comfortable and productive work environment, but also a KICK-AA$$S home theater entertainment system that LAUGHS at all the money people are spending on new plasm TVs. (It does HDTV as well). I run 2000 Server on the machine so I can do RAID and other high end things. I have NFL Sunday ticket, so I can watch my pathetic Detroit Lions, drink a beer, check my e-mail for more cgf meanness and work on my projects all the while *reclined* on my chaise lounge. I use a Logitech wireless ergonomic keyboard and wireless trackball mouse. Since the computer is suspended from the ceiling, the actual range is increased to almost ten feet. That's ten feet radius, so in fact I can use the keyboard and mouse with a twenty foot circle - pretty much covers the whole room. Because of the sectional setup, my wife can sit next to me and watch TV - we can share a blanket, watch a DVD -WHILE- I debug and code my Perl projects (using cygwin of course). I can be online with work via secure dial-up (because I'm a contractor they won't give me VPN - stupid). I also have a laptop, which I just plug into the DSL router and access via DameWare Mini Remote Control and/or cygwin (ssh, nfs - you know the drill). (Laptops - Darn things fry your mannhhood off when parked in your lap for too long - but a wireless keyboard can sit there ALL day!) Because of this setup, I'm always in the MIDDLE of the action. My wife never feels alone and abandoned and often cuddles with me to read a book while I work. When I'm away, she uses the *construction* as she calls it to shop e-bay, build puzzles on JigZone.com, e-mail her friends and family, etc. She loves it as much as I do. This setup has DEFINITELY increased my productivity 25-30%, PLUS upped my quality of life SUBSTANTIALLY. Anyone who sees my setup is blown away impressed - you can actually see the *awe* in their eyes. And the whole setup cost less than $10,000 in total to build (not to mention a few hundred hours of time to build and setup). Not cheap by any stretch, but something I now CAN'T POSSIBLY imagine living without. I'd recommend this solution to anyone who does computing for a living (and anymore that includes almost everyone). There is a drawback however - putting in a new lamp cost a $1000.00. OUCH! But when considering how much I use it, it's actually a small price to pay. As for the computer, because it's an ordinary small server case housing common components. If something goes wrong I just swap it out. I do nightly incremental backups to an external hard disk via USB2 and NovaBack. You should SERIOUSLY consider something similar - if you can swing it.

Unfortunately, that's not true for the directions that Corinna gave for Win2003, since the cron_server user is not in the SYSTEM group. One solution is to assume the invariant that cron always runs as a user in the SYSTEM group, but, AFAICS, there is no way to add a user to the SYSTEM group. Another solution is to select another group and make that invariant (and add the cron_server user to it), which will require changing the cron sources. Corinna, any comments? No, except that there's no SYSTEM group and using SYSTEM as a group is some sort of a Cygwin hack. Using administrators as group is actually better. Will change at one point in future.

Still not much help. I am building a new snapshot which may provide a better stack trace on failure. If you could run it and report the stack trace, it would be appreciated. Also, if you could send me a complete strace log that might be useful, too. I just thought I'd vent a little about my attempt to debug this today. I went to another person in my office (Hi Jay!) who has a laptop running Windows 2000 with the intent of running rsync there. His laptop was out of date so I updated cygwin on it, which took a while. When I was finished updating it, I tried to rsync from my laptop* (purchased with the help of some people here after a truely depressing history of being scammed, saving more money, buying a laptop, having it shipped, having it shipped back, having it shipped again, shipping it back, buying a new one, and now...) only to find that my laptop had crashed. On rebooting I got nothing but a blank screen. So, I took everything apart and tried again: still nothing. Took everything apart again, swapped the SODIMMs and got the dreaded BIOS beeping. Took out a SODIMM and now it boots. Which means now I have to wrangle with InternetIShop about getting a replacement without sending my laptop back *again*. I think I am very close to throwing myself off a bridge on this subject. Having had exactly the laptop I wanted for three weeks and now having to once again contemplate talking to obtuse tech support or sales people or, worse, more of the non-responders... well... Let's just say I am not in a good mood. I wasn't an optimistic type of guy I would almost think some higher authority didn't really want me to have a laptop like this, even though it means I'm in the presence of my family more often, which I would think would be a good thing... Anyway, sorry for the atypical personal aside. I am just so frustrated by this that I could spit. The laptop is working fine with half the amount of memory and the amount that I have left (512MB) is something I would have killed for a few years ago, but, despite that, the speed degradation is still noticeable. Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I know. I'd lambaste anyone else who did this but it does have something of a cygwin component since all of my super secret test files and environment is on this laptop and, if it dies, I'll be scrambing to recreate things from backup.

Re: Windows 2003 Server Cygwin Cron
I absolutely agree, Corinna. The correct fix is to use the administrators group. I was provided with a crontab that sets the group ownership to administrators, rather than SYSTEM, and it is fine. Benn Quoting crontab.c from the cron-3.0.1-11 sources: /* Cygwin can't support changing the owner since that requires crontab to be a s-uid application which is not supported. As workaround we try to set group membership to be SYSTEM (== ROOT_UID) and setting permissions to 640 which should allow cron to work. */ So, Cygwin basically assumes that the user that cron runs under will be in the SYSTEM group, and tries to change the mode of the tab file so that cron can access it. Unfortunately, that's not true for the directions that Corinna gave for Win2003, since the cron_server user is not in the SYSTEM group. One solution is to assume the invariant that cron always runs as a user in the SYSTEM group, but, AFAICS, there is no way to add a user to the SYSTEM group. Another solution is to select another group and make that invariant (and add the cron_server user to it), which will require changing the cron sources. Corinna, any comments? No, except that there's no SYSTEM group and using SYSTEM as a group is some sort of a Cygwin hack. Using administrators as group is actually better. Will change at one point in future.

How to make Cygwin map backspace to ASCII DEL?
Greetings, I just upgraded all Cygwin packages to their latest versions. Although I don't use Cygwin a lot, I'm fairly sure that I would have noticed if backspace in an ordinary Windows console window had ended up as ^H to a Cygwin application (zsh in this case) running in that console window, which is what happens now. Anyway, whatever the old behaviour was, I want backspace to generate ASCII DEL (^?) and not ^H --- how can I make Cygwin do that? -- Hannu -- 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/

When rebooting computer-3 to windows98-SE (multiboot system) the commands are also OK. The problem has not always been there, but I couldn't trace which change has caused this bug. The only change item is a replace of the NVidea display driver by an ASUS display driver. The NVidea driver caused lots of blue screens. Could a dll file be damaged? WindowsXP has no problems with timestamps. After the first time that the problems occured, I installed the most recent version of Cygwin (only the default files), but the problem is still there.

Anti-spam ? :( Yes. ZIP file attachments. PS 2 : Vital for me that this works before end of the month ! Sorry, but why would your urgency have any bearing on a community, volunteer project? Sorry too, We have been surprised by our first test on a multi CPU engine, after one year of development without big problem (only a tee problem and rsync not very usable (now using robocopy instead)). And now we are close to the delivery on 3 Multi CPU Xeon. But probably like you, we have only mono processor PC, Pentium 3, Pentium 4 and Athlon XP. cgf I know that threaded applications are difficult to develop. I think you are our chance to correct this. I can do test for you, but I can't give you access to this system ! I'm going to bed, thank you. -- 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/

[1.5.5] perl stuff building
using perl with cygwin is a must for me in a way it allow testing for platforms dep's, but it become a real pain when there is major upgrades. while upgrading from perl-5.8.0 to 5.8.2 I've lost Tk and mod_perl functionality. just that :-( so there is questions that comes up now for what to do from now and then, that would helps (me at least) to avoid such functionality losing. Is there downgrade possibility ? (I have no backup off perl-5.8.0 package and can't find it on the net) I could rebuild it but that's too long job :-\ ... we can stand as a guideline *do not upgrade until you have backup* ... that seems obvious but ... hey ! I know, mea culpa. Do I have links thats help to rebuild these packages ? it was a real pain to get them to works at first. (too many possibility for me) and diging the cygwin ML become a full time job. Finally do we have the ability to know if Tk or mod_perl are able to build on next dist.packages of perl/cygwin. (like CPAN/TEST or so). may be some specific version of apache, or some libs required ... could I know _before_ installing what are the setting used to build some software. perl -V report different setting from 5.8.0 to 5.8.2. it could help to know (and nice to chose) if there is support for threads, binary compat and so on ... Cygwin port's are essential for complete range of test, so I'll find a way out, but it would be smart to upgrade everything at once, and have resource to talk about these specific problems. So as a starting point to help the perl/cygwin community _if the is some_ we could start the perl/cygwin mailing list. (or is there already one ???) in which everyone could provide feedback to porters or modules author, cause I thing there is a lot of perl/related things that do not fit well with this [high volume] specific ML. -- dominix -- 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/
