Subject: Servers Alive product now supports OpenSSH running on Cygwin

I've been working with Woodstone tech support for the Servers Alive
system monitoring software (http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/) trying to
get their Remote PS Com add-on (designed for SSH on *nix) to work with
Cygwin + OpenSSH.

After about a week, they were able to get a version working with it.

So if you have lots of systems running Cygwin + OpenSSH that you need to
monitor, you can use SA for it now.

Now I can remotely monitor running processes on my systems through
OpenSSH running on Cygwin.

Thank you!

Jason DePriest

Apparently, you're missing something. ;-)  I'm not sure I know exactly what
you did and what you saw but I tried everything you mentioned in some
form and it worked just fine for me.  You should look closer at what you
did and see if you can find the source of the problem.  If you cannot 
and need to consult the list again on this issue, first visit:


>Problem reports:   http://cygwin.com/problems.html


and follow the recommendation there.  I'd also recommend that you 
provide annotated input and output of cases that you have problems with.  
This will allow others to duplicate your steps exactly and determine if 
there's anything "unusual" about your process.

shortcuts on win2k

2004-01-15 Thread Steve
Hi;

All the cygwin user's gude had to say about symlinks is that they do not 
have all the property info that windoze shortcuts have, ..which 
doesn't bother me.

I want to use symlinks ( ln -s ) as I do in gnu/linux.

I made some today on my win2k box at work.

They worked fine in the cd command, but I could not get automcomplete to 
expand lists on the symlinks.  cygstart did not seem to work with them.

Using "ls" with a symlink only lists the symlink, the dir it points to.

Is this normal, do symlinks have less features on cygwin such that they 
are not "as good as the dir/file" being there..or am I missing 
something?

Thanks in advance

Steve

Great, I'm glad it worked. For running on Gentoo, the main thing you should
look for is docbook-sgml-utils, which is what they call docbook-utils. It
includes all the stuff like db2html and jw which you need. And of course 
you'll need CVS to get the docs.

Sure, if you have non-Cygwin trouble feel free to email me too. If you've
never used DocBook here's a good introduction to the basics of how and why:



The whole DocBook DTD reference manual (DocBook: The Definitive Guide) is
online, so you can just Google for, say "funcsynopsis" and get descriptions
and parents/children. Of course, you probably won't need any of that since
you can look at examples in the other parts of the Cygwin documentation.

It's already on the list :




Kidding aside, however, I thought maybe the MS-SFU versions of some GNU
utils might have useful patches, which they have to release to comply
with the GPL. I downloaded the bash source from

but it appears to be vanilla bash (except it includes pre-configured
Makefiles and a couple header diffs). Of course, Cygwin bash is vanilla
also. gcc might be much more interesting.

Orlando,

I appreciate the input.  However, I don't intend the OLOCA to be the
all-inclusive list of all possible acronyms -- there are much better lists
that accomplish this job, two of which are even linked to from the OLOCA
intro.  The approach I've taken so far is: if I see an acronym appear more
than once on the Cygwin lists, or if it's Cygwin-specific, or if I
particularly like it (hey, being the maintainer has to have its quirks!),
I include it in the OLOCA.  So, in summary, if you have an acronym that
you like and frequently use, and if you use it on any Cygwin list, I'm
likely to include it in the OLOCA.

I'll send them a note again. They released 2.0.8 about a week after I

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: ssmtp-2.60.4-1

2004-01-15 Thread Robert R Schneck-McConnell
I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.4-1.

Visible changes are:
 * bug fixes to ssmtp -t, which now seems to work fine
 * removal of arbitrary limits on number of recipients and header size

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.
The ssmtp package is in the Mail category.

ssmtp is an extremely simple sendmail replacement, which forwards messages
to a mailhub (e.g., your ISP's outgoing mail server), and does nothing
else.

Please read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.60.4.README for configuration
information.

Robert

geomview successfully compiled!!

2004-01-15 Thread B. Marchand
Thank you Brian!

Boy, these unupdated mirrors have been a real pain for me. I 
re-installed the lesstif package, as you suggested, and that fixed it. 
The problem is that when I first installed cygwin, I did so from a 
mirror that did not have the most up to date packages 
(ftp.csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/cygwin). Later, when I installed 
some packages that were missing, they came from 
ftp.mirrors.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin.com, which was also not up to date. 
Someone recently suggested I try mirrors.kernel.org instead to update my 
xfree86 packages but I never updated lesstif.

I'm not sure if the cygwin setup utility has an "Update" option where it 
reads the version available on that mirror, compares it to the version 
you have installed, and determines if you need an update or not. Anyway, 
it claimed I didn't need it but I re-installed it anyhow.

Well, it works great now.

The installation instructions on
http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~mfoehl/Geomview_under_Windows.html
work fine, even without the -lDtPrint option. The alternate xforms 
library location
http://ftp.fh-wolfenbuettel.de/links/unix/desktop/xforms/NT/GnuWIN32/
seems to be acceptable as well.

To compile, and have the configure file detect the xforms library, the 
full path to them must be specified and that option must appear before 
the call to opengl or motif as follows

./configure -with-xforms=/usr/local/src/geomview-1.8.1/xforms/FORMS 
-with-motif=/usr/X11R6 -with-opengl=/usr/X11R6

I think I'll put up a website with ALL the files necessary, including 
the xforms library, for people to download in the future. I'll make sure 
to add a note listing the package versions I had installed when I 
compiled it.

Thanks again Brian.

True but there are versions of Linux out there that are very easy to 
install and look and feel allot like Windows.  But that's a separate

I don't think it's on-topic for this list.

Perhaps.  But if that's their goal they could have introduced those 
versions now.  I'm not saying they won't do what you suggest but the 
move they just made with it would imply to me that they aren't heading
that way.  I also don't see much to get "hooked" on that isn't available 
from another source, free or otherwise.  Regardless, I'm interested in 
the results of your upcoming tests.

Well, the only reason why I visited a separate website was to download 
the xforms library. The xforms library is not actually needed to compile 
geomview. It's only used to compile some of the examples that come with 
it. Geomview itself will run fine without it. Even if you do include it, 
it will have no impact on the geomview base itself.

After extensively searching the internet it became clear to me that a 
few people have tried to compile geomview under cygwin, and done so 
unsuccessfully. If there have been any successful compilations they 
haven't made it public knowledge, at least not that I've found yet. So, 
in that respect, at least I was able to get it to compile just fine in 
the most recent cygwin release. Unfortunately, just because something 
compiles doesn't mean it works, as is the case here. Seeing that I don't 
have a lot of time to go through the source and debug the code I was 
hoping someone could offer some insight in the interest of time.

The website that contains the installation instructions is, as you 
pointed out, German. Though the instructions are in English the source 
page itself is in German. I'm not up to date on my German so I can't do 
much about that. There's no email listed anywhere about the author of 
that page so I can't contact him, though I've tried to via other 
channels with no success.

So, the only source I have left is this, hoping that perhaps someone who 
has successfully compiled it before can share some information. Even 
better, perhaps I can get them to email me their source tree so I can 
compile it on my computer since they already got it to work. Perhaps 
Matthias Foehl, the author of that webpage, will be reading this mailing 
list at some point and he can get in touch with me, since I can't get a 
hold of him.

It's a small community but perhaps there's another geomview user out 
there reading this who can offer some pointers.

At any rate, I had already posted this to the cygwin-xfree site with no 
real success in terms of responses. I posted it here as well only for 
completion.

Orlando,

I appreciate the input.  However, I don't intend the OLOCA to be the
all-inclusive list of all possible acronyms -- there are much better lists
that accomplish this job, two of which are even linked to from the OLOCA
intro.  The approach I've taken so far is: if I see an acronym appear more
than once on the Cygwin lists, or if it's Cygwin-specific, or if I
particularly like it (hey, being the maintainer has to have its quirks!),
I include it in the OLOCA.  So, in summary, if you have an acronym that
you like and frequently use, and if you use it on any Cygwin list, I'm
likely to include it in the OLOCA.

Geomview compilation under cygwin ...

2004-01-15 Thread B. Marchand
I followed the instructions on
http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~mfoehl/Geomview_under_Windows.html
about compiling geomview under cygwin. I had to acquire the forms
library for Win32 from a different source
http://ftp.fh-wolfenbuettel.de/links/unix/desktop/xforms/NT/GnuWIN32/

since they seem to be temporarily unavailable from the xforms website 
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xforms).
At any rate, everything seems to configure and compile fine. However, 
once I type in "geomview" and hit return, the computer thinks about it 
for a few seconds and then the prompt returns to normal and there is no 
geomview process running. No error messages are ever sent to the screen 
so I don't know what is going on. If I type "geomview -debug" instead I 
get the following message:

Warning: XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed
Error: attempt to add non-widget child "DropSiteManager" to parent 
"Geomview" which supports only widgets.

I tried compiling it with both the gcc 3 and gcc 2.95.3, they both 
appear to compile but do nothing. I only had to make one modification to 
the instructions listed in
http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~mfoehl/Geomview_under_Windows.html.
I could not find the DtPrint library that is referenced in these 
instructions so I just left it out. Now, the default compiler is 3.x. 
So, to compile with 2.95.3, I copied the gcc-2.exe executable to gcc.exe 
and stored gcc.exe under another name. I hope that's all I had to do. 
Also, I tried running under both mwm and twm and same thing happens. 
Just for kicks, I went into the /usr/local/Geomview/bin directory and 
typed ./example and the "Velocity" window comes up so at least something 
comes works partially. I can also compile and run savi under cygwin without
any problems, of course without the Geomview 3D visualization part.

Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Thanks.

Certainly, see this paper on non-recursive make, entitled "Recursive Make Considered 
Harmful":

http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf

I read it a few years ago and it completely changed my perspective on build systems. 
Using that technique, instead of executing
copies of make in subdirs, you include pieces of makefiles from subdirs and end up 
with only one dependency tree. This gives you
cleaner, more accurate builds with less spam. It's harder to convert a build system to 
that format than it is to use it when making
one from scratch :)

Servers Alive product now supports OpenSSH running on Cygwin

2004-01-15 Thread DePriest, Jason R.
I've been working with Woodstone tech support for the Servers Alive
system monitoring software (http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/) trying to
get their Remote PS Com add-on (designed for SSH on *nix) to work with
Cygwin + OpenSSH.

After about a week, they were able to get a version working with it.

So if you have lots of systems running Cygwin + OpenSSH that you need to
monitor, you can use SA for it now.

Now I can remotely monitor running processes on my systems through
OpenSSH running on Cygwin.

Thank you!

RE: Python 2.3 Cygwin and SIP and PyQT

2004-01-15 Thread Rafael Kitover
Those files would be in the Python library, see if you have a file such as:

/lib/python2.3/config/libpython2.3.dll.a

Then add something like the following to the link command in your Makefile:

-L/lib/python2.3/config/ -lpython2.3.dll

Also check ./configure --help, there might an option like --with-python-lib=whatever,
Running ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/lib/python2.3/config/ -lpython2.3.dll" might also do 
it.

Btw, to search for undefined references to symbols, you can do stuff like:

nm -A /lib/python2.3/config/libpython2.3.dll.a | grep PyInt_FromLong

Sometimes even nm -A /lib/* | grep -i foo can help when trying to get something to 
build.

Re: bug in cygwin build of Make

2004-01-15 Thread Jason Pearce
This indeed solves the problem and thanks for explaining the default 
shell issue. I actually thought that bash was used under cygwin, and I 
often construct syntax in a bash shell before using it in a makefile. It 
usually works but you've pointed out why there will be subtle differences.

BTW the example I sent was obviously a cut down to illustrate the 
problem. I actually construct  a variable that points to the root 
directory of the checked out CVS view (or a default an environment 
variable if that directory is not under CVS yet), that  enables me to 
specify the "absolute path" to my scripts (or other) directories.  Like 
this:

CVSVIEW= $(shell if [ -e CVS/Repository ]; then echo ${CURDIR} | sed 
-e "s|`cat CVS/Repository | sed -e "s|^[^/]*||"`||"; else echo 
$$CVSVIEW; fi)

bus_pack-pkg.vhd : ${CVSVIEW}/doc/mem_map.csv ${CVSVIEW}/etc/bus_pack.pl
   perl ${CVSVIEW}/etc/bus_pack.pl -v ${CVSVIEW}/doc/mem_map.csv 
bus_pack-pkg.vhd

Even though it now working, is there a better way of doing this?

Jason


JP> dir1/Makefile:
JP> --
JP> VARIABLE = $(shell echo $$PWD)
JP> 
JP> sources :
JP> @echo VARIABLE set to ${VARIABLE}

The GNU make variable CURDIR is set by make to the current working
directory of the executing make.  This is probably the variable you
want.
Hope this helps,

Oooh. I wonder what they were smoking. I seriously doubt even a tiny

they could handle it themselves. We're talking about folks who think 
adding a DIMM is something they have to haul the PC back to the

No, I see this as more of a move towards enticing people to try SFU for

30-day trial? It's actually a subset of the MKS toolkit, but is not

most of what you would need anyway. Now it's free and unrestricted.

What SFU 3.x adds is that everything has been ported to the underlying 
Interix API, which is they claim is "not an emulation layer like Cygwin" 
(nice to see them acknowledge Cygwin!), but apparently is a 1st-class NT 
subsystem.

I plan to try it out soon and see how well it interoperates with Cygwin. 
Obviously some things overlap (services, for instance - even with SFU, 
they have two telnet servers, so this isn't something new or unexpected).

What'll be interesting is all those cross-toolkit usages (like starting 
a Cygwin bash with "tty" from the SFU sh and seeing if things misbehave 
:-).  Nothing will be reported as a "Cygwin bug", I promise :-).

the cygwin regex is not POSIX.
backrefs are not available by default (apparently you need REG_BACKR for

Have you seen this?

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-12/msg00641.html

I must admit that with that option available, I'm too lazy to check or
remember who is on the list and who is not.  I just take the default reply
my mailer (pine) presents to me.  I think that is as much as anyone can
reasonably ask.

IIRC, --enable-debugging just adds more verbose logging (primarily
strace) and enables CYGWIN_DEBUG functionality.  So, it is probably not
worth it.  Just debug with the version you've got.

Have you considered IP-over-cheetah?  It's lightning speed provides much
better interactive responsiveness, with minimal packet loss (unless it's
real hungry).  Simply tie the packet around it's neck (provided it
doesn't byte your packet assembler), point it towards the gazelle enabled
backbone traffic feeder and off it's goes! :)

  Oops, yes indeed.  Sorry.  It happened because I replied to the copy you

  Agreed, unless by some terrible coincidence there's a bug in the snapshot
version that impacts on the compiler in some subtle way.  However that's a
pretty unlikely possibility I agree.

What probably needs documenting is what the letters in "FAQ" stand for.
No, wait.  That's probably there already.

BTW, in this case I hope you're aware of both "ntsec" and "smbntsec", and
how they interact.

I never said it did.  I suspected he's on a non-permission-preserving
filesystem.

Possible, but without the cygcheck output, your guess is as good as mine.
FWIW, I suspect everything is behaving as intended (see below in C).

> C) it's not always 000 that the perms get set to, for me it's 700

If the owner of the file on the samba share is not the same as your
Windows login name, the attempt to preserve file permissions might result
in something like that.

Of course it does -- see below. :-)

Nope, D (and E) is bogus, sorry.  "mv" will attempt to preserve all of the
file attributes (owner, permissions, ACLs, timestamps, etc).  "cp" by
itself will not -- it happily creates a new file with default permissions.
If you want this test to be conclusive, try "cp -p" (which, I suspect,
will behave identically to "mv").

>cheers,
>  DaveK

In any case, until we see the OP's cygcheck output, the applicability of
the above to his problem is all guesswork on both of our parts.
HTH,
Igor

There should be no reason to rebuild under a different Cygwin DLL version.
However, if you did not do a clean build as I suggested after CGF fixed
the CVS tree, I would again recommend it.

You could try to debug it :).

The GNU make variable CURDIR is set by make to the current working

  I repeated 'make check', and it repeated.  I've just done a cvs update and
nothing changed except strdup in libiberty, so I'm up-to-date.  The main

  Nope, it's more complicated than that.  Here on my system I've got cygwin
root installed on an NTFS partition (under XP), and /win/t is a mountpoint
for the dos path T:\ which is a samba share from a linux box  Now watch:

---snip---

Canonical Serial Input Issue

This is not a text mode mount problem.  This is a problem of downloading
files in text mode, and then transferring them over to a binary mount
(without appropriate conversion), so you get CRLF files on binary mounts.
Which is a peculiar (and, IIUC, unsupported) mode of operation.  FWIW, I
agree with CGF - this doesn't merit documenting.  It's in the archives,
anyway.

At a guess, your C: drive is a FAT (or, worse yet, FAT32) drive.  The
cygcheck output mentioned at the above link will show whether this is the

Fergus,

FWIW, space is a valid filename character on both Unix and Windows.  This
means that any script that assumes filenames to be space-free (and lacking
other shell special characters) is, IMO, broken.  Cygwin seems to be one
platform where this issue bites people with great regularity, but there's
no reason why this can't happen on Unix (and probably will with the advent
of file managers like Nautilus from Gnome).  The bottom line is, even if
these files get fixed, there are no guarantees this won't bite you again
some time in the future.  FWIW, you can easily accomodate quotable
characters (spaces and such) in your scripts (I've been advocating this in
Cygwin scripts for a while now).  The two tricks I can recommend are 'eval
"set -- $QUOTEDARGLIST"' and using non-standard values of IFS.  I have
scripts with samples of both of these approaches, which I can send you on
request (I've posted some of them to the Cygwin lists, too).

With carrier pigeon 1.0, the beak is so small you have to
dis-assemble/re-assemble the IP packets.

Carrier pigeon 2.0 has a bigger beak and can hold a full packet.

Unfortunately the evolutionary process is goin slow.  Maybe within a

Have you thought about using IP-over-turkey instead?  

It is slower and not very sexy, but with the bigger beak, you can get

Buchbinder, Barry wrote:

Does this mean that that MS finds that Cygwin (and U/Win, MKS, et al.) is a

The motivation is probably so that they can realease other unix software 
and tools to entise people over to the dark side.  Tools both for SFU 
and Linux.  It gives them and partners a commercial developement 
platform to seriously target.  But mostly it's recognition of all the 
unix code that exists.  All comercial unix platforms are going down the 
drain due to Linux and Bsd so it's not inconcievable that Microsoft is 
extending an olive branch to them in hopes that will enbrace windows and 
port their commercial applications, first to SFU and then then to their 
windows API's.  If microsoft wanted they could go whole hog and create a 
complete formidable unix environment; something to supercede the dos 
environment..  Nothing in their kernel prevents it, though they could 
make it more efficient for such.

Microsoft is interested in the bottom line.  I don't see cygwin 
affecting them much at all.  Mozilla, Aphche, Open Office and all other 
threatening programs compile natively so cygwin has no impact except as 
a development environment.  They don't exactly make much money on their 
development tools though since developers are quite a small market.

I'm using cygwin bash on a Windows 2000 machine. When I perform the following steps
(c: is the local drive, h: is a network drive, which is also my $HOME):

cd c:/
echo xxx >h:/tmp/x

then a

644.

Re: A month worth of developers time available for cygwin.

2004-01-15 Thread Ronald Landheer-Cieslak
I've gotten my local Cygwin installation up to speed for this (openjade et
al.) but I'll probably be working on my Gentoo box at home (seeing as I only
have one Windows at my disposal at home, which does have Cygwin but which
I hardly ever use, I'll do as much as possible on my normal development box..)

I'll try to get things working so I can run `make' properly and will report
back when I've either gotten things going or have run into some really 
blocking problem..

BTW: This error means that some dll's could not be accessed, my be because the

affected.

You may download and install the dependency walker 
http://www.dependencywalker.com/ and open it from a bash shell with 

depends `cygpath -aw /usr/sbin/httpd.exe`

Then try to profile this application with F7. Please activate at least the 
following options: 

- Log Dllmain calls for process attach ... 
- Hook the process ... 
- Use full path when logging
- Automatic open profile child processes. 

and start the profiler. In the lower box you will see the log messages. If 
there are any problems, then it will be printed in red or bold. 

hope that helps

Filenames with spaces: very rare in Cygwin

2004-01-15 Thread fergus
In the entire Cygwin provision there are only 3 filenames containing spaces,
all under /usr/ssl/man. Up until recently, I think there was only one, being
/usr/local/ssl/man/man7/Modes\ of\ DES.7. The other two are under
/usr/local/ssl/man/man3/.
Nothing is broken, but this occurrence (just 3 in ~70,000) is possibly
sufficiently rare to maybe merit attention and amendment? To, dunno,
Modes_of_DES.7 and similar?
This might break things, in which case obviously leave as is. Sorry for
mentioning it. In any case, I ask for purely selfish reasons: the spaces
screw up an otherwise rather neat script for fiddling about with +R and +S
files when achieving a portable version of Cygwin on CD.

VIM fails with SEGV after vi under telnet session

2004-01-15 Thread Ashok Vadekar
I seem to have the following repeatable problem since upgrading to 1.5.x
from 1.3.x:
open bash shell (in Windows command prompt DOS box, not rxvt)
vi foo (works fine)
:q
telnet remote machine (in my case a solaris 8 box)
exit
vi foo (works fine)
:q
telnet remote machine (in my case a solaris 8 box)
run /usr/bin/vi (or vim)
:q
exit
vi foo (fails with output:
[25;1HVim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.

and then leaves the shell in a state where it does not use \r, only \n such
thathitting enter at the prompt causes a staircase of output as the command
prompt continues to skew to the right.

Either 
stty sane
or
tset
will fix the staircsae, but running vi again puts me back in that state.
Running vi in strace or gdb from this point does not cause the SEGV.
Opening a new shell gives me a clean environment with which to use vi,
until I telnet and run a remote vi session.

So what terminal setting is the remote vi/vim adjusting that causes the local
vi to get confused?  I probably have an old 1.3.x terminfo entry on the remote
box, which might explain a remote vi session that didn't work well, but this
does not seem to me to be a good reason for a SEGV.

RE: Problem compiling cygwin1.dll from CVS

2004-01-15 Thread Gabriel SOUBIES
I finally managed to re-build Cygwin, and your hint helped me a lot!
The problem was that i was downloading the sources using Cygwin's CVS on a
machine where Cygwin had been installed in NT mode (not by me).
Then I burned the sources and tried to compile on my machine, where Cygwin
is installed in Unix mode.
I had Cygwin reinstalled in Unix mode on the machine I used for downloading
and that solved everything.
Maybe a note about this problem could be added to the FAQ page named "How do
I rebuild the tools on my NT box?" ...

Hi,
I had the original problem and solved it but forgot to share it with the
list.
My problem was caused because I used wincvs to checkout the cygwin
sources because I had some problem (don't remeber what) with cygwin's
cvs. Because wincvs is running on NT it performs the LF -> CR/LF on text
files and the file ends up with the extra ^M.
Checking out the sources under cygwin solved the problem.

note about recent cygwin snapshot

2004-01-15 Thread Ralf Habacker
Hi all, 

yesterday I have downloaded a recent cygwin snapshot and tried with the coming 
kde-cygwin 3.1.4. In the past I recognized, that running kde on cygwin is a 
good stress test for the cygwin dll. 

Please note that I'm still using cygipc for shared memory support, so I cannot 
say anything to this stuff. 

After running the kde-cygwin desktop and several application several hours, I 
recognized only two issues: 

1.  On every process start the following message is printed: 

 4 [main] ? 2988 shared_info::initialize: size of shared memory region 
changed from 21008 to 47112

2. On Windows XP I recognized sometime a curious behavior with 100% cpu eating 
processes after killing the xserver with the close icon or closing an 
internet modem connection. 
(For the bacis: With cygwin 1.5.5 this problem results in three cygwin based 
processes, hanging and eating all the cpu power, which leaves an unusable 
system) With this snapshot, this burden seems to be a little eased in such a 
manner, that there are only two proccess hanging in ntdll.dll,  but the 
system is usable, so that this processes could be killed with the 
task-manager. Looking at such a process with procexp shows me, that the 
problem must be in the application closing, because procexp shows only about 
20% of the initial used dll's, the others seems to be already closed. 
May be there is a problem with closing sockets or something else, because I'm 
wondering why the processes are hanging immediatly after closing the modem 
connection. For the next kde-cygwin release I have found a workaround, so 
this problem isn't very annoying, but by the time I'm going to analyse this 
problem a little bit more and will report if I have more infos. 

BTW: Thanks for all efforts. Great work. Especially fixing the threading stuff 
enables me to bundle the ogg123 player with kde-cygwin. 

Cheers 
Ralf

NFS client for Windows NT

2004-01-15 Thread Federico Bianchi

In fact - a Windows NT IFS (and it has to run under at least three
different releases, which are subtly different one another when it comes
to FSD). This is why I feel making a true NFS client much harder than it
actually needs to be. I had been tinkering with FIFS for some time, but
making it really usable is certainly not a one man month project.

For those who don't know it, FIFS was a _really_ interesting project by
Danilo Almeida, simulating an SMB/CIFS redirector on the local machine; it
lets file system components be written in user land (and it runs itself in
user mode, too, which makes it somewhat slower than, say, ProxyDK but much
easier to deal with). It mostly worked under NT 4.0, but was never
completed and has some ugly quirks when used on more current systems. One
of the samples was a NFS client, BTW...

Best regards to you all
