Unfortunately 20040215 came out while I was debugging 20042014. Since
you claim to have done anything that might have actually fixed the

failure of unzip and recent cygwin1.dll

[Thomas L Roche]

summary:

unzip has been abending when run with recent cygwin1.dll: a gdb trace
(showing overflow?) and configuration information is included. I would
appreciate assistance locating the failing code(s) and the
maintainer(s) to contact.

details:

I would appreciate any assistance anyone could provide in debugging
the abends I (and at least one other user) have experienced running
unzip in cygwin > 1.5.5-1, and more importantly getting them fixed.
Note that

* the zips involved are very large (~= 1.5GB, 100k files) and contain
  mostly binaries, with some text (e.g. XML) and other compressed
  files (zip's and jar's)

* the point of failure is always a SEGV like

>> >   inflating:

>> > 735 [main] unzip 1820 cmalloc: cmalloc returned NULL
>> > error:  zipfile probably corrupt (segmentation violation)

  but can be obtained even from a file that unzip'ed successfully with
  1.5.5-1, and can be unzip'ed with other tools (e.g. PowerArchiver).

* the point of failure is not otherwise repeatable. Specifically,
  unzip'ing the same file with different versions of cygwin1.dll
  produces SEGV at different inflation outputs. The only constant is
  the message "cmalloc: cmalloc returned NULL" (Hmm ... possible other
  constant: IIRC failing inflation output has always been a binary.)

I got the source of the 20040214 snapshot (almost the latest: 20040215
came out since I started debugging) built and debugging:

> cd /usr/src/unzip-5.50/.inst && gdb --args ./usr/bin/unzip.exe 
/d/eclipse/zips/wsa-jdk-20040210_1925-WB213-AD-V512D-W5.zip

unzip got fairly far (estimate ~80%) through the zip before

After sending this, it occurred to me that I could add some increased
debugging which might show why cmalloc was returning NULL.  So, the next
snapshot will have more strace output for the failing condition, meaning
that if you do this:

  strace -o strace.out unzip whatever

it should produce a large strace file.  The only interesting output for
now would come from the _csbrk function which will have words like
"couldn't commit memory for cygwin heap..." in it.

If you are interested in tracking this down, please send the information
from that line here.

Let me give you an example. I work as an consultant, currently managing

The client I work for has standardised on Microsoft application on the 
desktop, including Visual SourceSafe for version control of 
configuration files, scripts, etc.

With my Cygwin installation set to use Unix line endings, and with my 
personalised SourceSafe INI-file set to also use Unix line endings, I 
can do a lot of work on my PC in the comfort of an Cygwin environment. I 
can edit the files in vi/vim, I can maintain Makefiles, etc. And when I 
am done, I can use ssh and scp to do a binary transfer of the files to 
the Solaris platform, knowing that the files will just work.

Can we stop discussing this now?  Whether it is compatible for you
or not is really irrelevant to the cygwin mailing list population.

If you or someone else wants to offer to maintain sendmail as a package
then they should go through the very simple package submission process.
Otherwise, I don't see any reason to continue this discussion.  We don't
add packages on an as-needed basis.  We add them on an as-volunteered
basis.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious :-)

Every thing works as expected once I correct the permissions on the server

Re: SSH and Remote Key authentication

[Igor Pechtchanski]

First off, if I'm reading the debug output correctly, sshd is complaining
about the ownership of the home directory *on the server*.  Is $HOST a
remote machine, or your local (Windows/Cygwin) one?

If $HOST is your local Cygwin machine, note the '+'s after the modes in
the ls output.  They indicate that there are ACLs on the directories not
directly mappable to the normal Unix modes.  The output of "getfacl ~
~/.ssh" should show what those are.  If "StrictModes" is set in your sshd
config, your home directory should not be writable by anyone but you, and
your ~/.ssh should not be readable, writable, or executable by anyone but
you.

Lastly, again if $HOST is the local Cygwin machine, make sure "ntsec" is
set in the CYGWIN environment variable for sshd (or, rather, that it's not
turned off by "nontsec").
Igor
P.S. You *did* use the supported way (i.e., ssh-host-config) to set up
your Cygwin sshd server, right?

Note I can ssh in using password authrntication from my Cygwin box

I too am reasonably sure this is a 'local permissions' problem 
i.e. The remote sshd daemon does not believe my identity file is secure

My problem is that I do not know what the proper permissions should be, and 
AFAIK these are the permissions set by the the Cygwin install proceedure as
I do not believe I have touched them

Known feature?

[linda w]

I decided to trace a 3 day long running process (the dd/bzip program) 
that was
nearing completion (had a couple hundred meg to go), and much to my 
chagrin,
when I wanted to stop tracing, I pressed control-c -- and unlike the 
behavior I'm
used to in linux, it didn't just terminate the process being traced, but 
also
terminated the program that had been attached to!

Very very much of a bummer, since it takes 3+ days, apparently, to run 
and come near
to completing this test.  Very, very sadoh well...

Is this a "feature" or a "bug"?

Technically, Cygwin doesn't use "/" in keynames -- it uses it in value
names.

   Yeah yeah yeah...and I probably don't cross all my t's either! :-)
I believe that backward compatibility will preclude any attempts to change
the mount key names...  Especially with the plans to move the mount
information out of the registry altogether, the extra effort to change the
key names now is probably not justified.
 


   ?   If it's moved out of the registry, that's fine, but if it isn't, I'd
have to ask how many apps rely on this functionality and whether or not it
really would break anything.  Certainly moving it out of the registry
entirely would have no less impact on "backward compatibility"...ahem!
Sometimes I get the idea that you are are onery/cantankerous just to be
so, not always for reasons you strongly believe in...as though you like 
to play "devil's advocate", so to speak, just because!  :-)

I don't see that as much of a problem, though.  Most command-line registry
manipulating tools (including Cygwin's regtool) provide a way to change
the key/value separator.  API calls don't care one way or another, as they
walk through keys as explicit strings, and rarely do parsing.
The only mechanism I can think of that is adversely affected by this
convention is /proc/registry, because of its attempt to map the registry
onto a filesystem. 

---
   Attempt?  It seems like a pretty darn good idea/attempt.  What is 
the registry but a hierarchical, typed, filesystem? 
It even needs to be "defragged" like a primitive filesystem.
Often, I wish users could supply their own registry manipulation 
routines that do things like keep key
creation and access times, what user or program created
the key, etc., so later on it would be easier to delete old
cruft.

   But specifically, the power of unix, traditionally, was the 
orthongonality of the various command line tools and the ability to pipe 
output from one program into another.  Wouldn't it be rather 'cool'/nice 
to be able to manipulate and edit the registry using the same tools you 
can use on files. 

   Never have entirely figured out why, but accessing keys in the 
registry seems so dang slow and the only tools to mess with the registry 
are cumbersome and error-prone and designed to be dangerous and obscure 
to incline people not to edit it directly.  The concept of an editor, in 
this day and age not having an "Undo" feature.  Not having drag and drop 
-- but if it was a file system, the you could use explorer to drag/drop 
it and have automatic undo functionality.  MS likes to keep users 
ignorant and uninformed so they can play fast and loose with bad 
algorithms and code, hinder reverse engineering and create obstacles to 
using mixed-OS environments.

Because the registry doesn't have the same set of
invalid characters in names as the underlying filesystem, this mapping
sometimes fails, as in the case of mounts values.  It might be possible to
change the /proc/registry implementation to translate "/"s in key and
value names to valid character combinations (e.g., URL encoding).  PTC.

   True, but it also would also seem prudent not to be the
only known (to me, at least) application to use a specific feature -- I 
could easily see MS restricting "/" from
key/value names in a future OS release, possibly, even, to
support their own Unix compatibility efforts.

   As for the registry concept, in general, I don't think it would be 
the worst idea to implement on Unix/Linux systems -- like 
/etc/sysconfig+/proc+multiple ..rc files.

   Rather than having each app use it's own method of storing config 
values, and many apps using 100 bytes out of a 4k allocation unit, it 
might not be so bad to have a "registry" file system type that would 
allow storing of small config values in many small spread-out randomly 
named and placed config files.  If you had a per-system, and a per-user 
file,
it would make saving the config state of a machine or a user's
preferences trivial to copy to a new machine, potentially.

DBD::Pg - $dbh->quote() causes core dump

[Ian Sealy]

Hi,

Is anyone using the DBD::Pg Perl module under Cygwin? I'm trying to use
it on Windows XP with Perl 5.8.2-1 and DBI 1.40. The Cygwin DLL version
is 1.5.7.

The module seems to build OK, but lots of the tests fail. The most
serious (from my point of view, because I tried to use the module
anyway) is that $dbh->quote() causes a core dump:

Agreed.

But as I responded to Brian earlier in private email:
a bit of googling reveals problem reports describing
why EXIM is not 100% compatible with sendmail,
at least from the point of view of NMH used in
a TMDA spam filtering configuration.

Is it compatible enough for me to use?  Well, I'll
suppose I'll see.

OK then.  I agree, that looks fine.  So since this is all the information
you've given, besides a possible implication that you can ssh to the $HOST
machine from a Linux machine, I can't really help much.  If you can ssh in
from a Linux machine, try comparing all differences between that machine
and the problem "box" and see if you can find what's missing.  You could 
also turn on debugging on the server to help, though I think the message
you got already is pretty clear about what it thinks the problem is.  Check
the permissions real close (use 'getfacl' if you need to), read the docs - 
Cywgin-specific and otherwise, and narrow down the potential problem areas.  
If you find a Cygwin specific issue, I'd encourage you again to read and 
follow the guidelines of  before consulting 
the email list further.  But I still suspect that your problems aren't Cygwin
specific but rather installation-specfic, though information that 
 asks for might indicate otherwise.  Feel
free to prove my suppositions wrong of course.

AFAICT I have the correct permissions on ~/.ssh/identity
and the permissions on the $HOST files are identical to 
those that [EMAIL PROTECTED] uses to connect from a remote Linux machine

Please read and follow the link below for all bug reports:

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


Sounds like a simple permissions problem on ~/.ssh/identity.  Your best
bet is to read up on openssh docs so that you're sure you get everything 
configured correctly.  FWIW, I doubt that this is a Cygwin specific issue
but there isn't really enough information here for me to tell for sure one
way or the other.  But you might also find the email archives helpful.  
There's been lots of people that ask about configuring openssh for Cygwin
here.

In principle ssmtp is a drop-in replacement from sendmail, but it 
doesn't have full sendmail functionality; it will ignore or bomb on 
most command-line options.

All that ssmtp can do is forward mail to an SMTP server.
It can choose which server selectively based on the From address.
It doesn't queue; but I use it on a frequently unconnected machine, with 
a homegrown script to queue mail in such a way that I can ssmtp it 
later.  ssmtp has the benefit of being trivial to configure.

Exim is much more powerful, and almost certainly can be used as a 
complete drop-in sendmail replacement in the way you want.

If this is a windows system drive (i.e. containing %WINDIR% and boot
files) then I don't think this will work.  I could be wrong here but I
think there are parts of the disk that are inaccessable while windows is
running, e.g. the SAM database.  These segments can only be read by the
kernel itself, and to back them up you have to do it offline using the
Recovery Console or from booting another partition.  I think you'll find
that Cygwin makes a very poor choice for a backup tool, as compared to
things dedicated to this task such as NTbackup, Ghost, etc.

Sounds to me like you want to read up on exim  to 
see what it can do and if it will work for you.  Discussion of exim's 
capabilities compared to sendmail is really off-topic for this list.

By definition, there's only 1 reason to choose UNIX over DOS as an 
installation option.  It facilitates the use of packages that have not been 
completely/properly ported to Windows.  If you want maximum compatibility 
with UNIX apps, choose UNIX.  Otherwise, choose DOS.  Practically, this 
boils down to the fact that you'll run into less trouble overall (whether 
using Windows or Cygwin apps) with the UNIX setting.  But there are certain 
usage patterns that make it reasonable to offer the option.  So the 
recommendation here is to use UNIX unless you know of a reason you need to 
do otherwise.

dd if=/dev/sda3 bs=1024 conv=sync|bzip2 >//server/backups/windows_backup.bz2?

[linda w]

I thought the above would yield an image backup of my windows partition.

It does seem to, at first, but for some odd reason or another, it really 
starts slowing down toward the end of the partition.  (Took about 2-3 
days vs. ~2-3 hours under linux).  Which
would be a first RFE -- but as an ex-manager at SGI used to say, it's 
only performance -- as long as it works, that's the primary concern.

But it doesn't seem to know when to stop.

"df" claims:
C:30813648  15304720  15508928  50% /
That would be 30,813,648 1k-blocks or 31,553,175,552 bytes.

Examination of the output of a "dd" shows it is accessing the correct 
partition.

However, at some point, it reached a point where bzip2 stopped
pegging the cpu and dd started being the most guilty party -- at about 
60-70% pegging with csrss.exe taking up the slack at
20-30% cpu (was 0 when bzip was crunching along at high speed).
It will stay like that for a few minutes, at least, then bzip2
will arise from the dead

Now, looking at I/O read/write bytes, I see:
 input   output
dd   29,921,032,311   29,920,942,080
bzip229,920,931,5949,655,162,880
peak working sets for both show bzip2 peaking at ~8.8M and dd at 2 meg.  
They started 69 hours ago with cpu times for both
(dd,bzip) showing 10.5 and 20.5 hours, respectively.

When they started, the output of bzip2 on the server was
increasing file size at the rate of, roughly, 800-900k/second.
Now the file size is increasing at the rate of about 600 bytes/second.

So what the bleep?  I know bzip2 can be slow at times, but output of 600 
bytes/sec?
Server shows zero load, roughly 6G free -- not likely to be a source of 
delay.

The read seem to show a logorithmic slowdown -- not sure if it will ever 
finish at this
rate.  Any idea why it would slow down so much?  I know 'dd' chokes 
somewhat on large files -- or used to as of a few months ago.  Was 
written a bit inefficiently for reading from

Feel free to check unzip after every dll update but I'm telling you that
no one is investigating your problem.  Therefore, it is very unlikely
that it will be fixed and, so, it will be basically noise for you to
send email here reporting continued breakage.

It is not useful to send a "it still doesn't work" message after new
snapshots when there is no activity directed towards fixing your
problem.

Your attempts to convince us that this is incomplete are rather...
incomplete.  Are you complaining because the howto has the audacity
to assume that you will be able to build things yourself?  Or do you
think a debugging howto should go into excruciating detail about how to
build things, too?  It's odd that you are complaining about something
that is unclear to you in an unclear fashion.

If it is the build instructions, then yeah, it's incomplete because it
either 1) expects that like other GNU-style projects you'll be able to
build things with a minimum amount of angst or 2) you'll be clever
enough to find more instructions (on building cygwin at least) in the
FAQ.

FWIW, typing "building cygwin from source" into google picks up a cygwin
thread where someone else was whining about how bad the instructions are
(which will now be typically used as an "Aha!  See I'm not alone!" and
will force me to use all of the same arguments again.  Stay tuned.) but
has a link to the instructions.  So, if it is the whole build mystery
that is tripping you up then it's a mystery why we are still talking
about this since you apparently have some passing familiarity with
google.

To be perfectly frank, your inability to figure anything out here seems
to illustrate that you will not be able to provide any useful debugging
details.  Maybe you should do yourself a favor, standardize on 1.5.5
and just give up.  If building and debugging is beyond your current
skills then it's not likely that you'll be providing any useful feedback
anytime soon.  I'm sure you have better things to do with your time than
bumping your head against debugging instructions that are obviously
intended for someone with more c++/gdb/GNU experience than you possess.

Solved: Still trouble with IPC

[Frank Wübbeling]

Looking at the cygwin sources, I realized that any access to cygserver is
disabled unless I explicitly export CYGWIN="server=1". Doing this
immediately solved my problems. Weird. Since cygserver is now the default
IPC code, shouldn't the default for allow_server be "yes"?

I meant the CVS log entries, i.e., who made what change.  If the remote

in the CVS log.

Did you try to check out using Cygwin cvs from the command line?  You
might want to search the archives for "wincvs" -- there were some problems
reported with it, IIRC.

Also, did you set ssh for passwordless access?  There's probably no easy
way to enter the ssh password in your IDE...

Fair enough.  Not a cygwin problem.  It's a kpathsea behavior stemming
from having TEXINPUTS including "." and a sudden increase in the files
under that tree coinciding with a cygwin update.

Something I've never been able to figure out is why Cygwin offers to

The purpose of the cygwin project is to provide a posix emulation on top of 
win32 to allow easy porting of unix applications.  Unix applications DO NOT 
use DOS line endings.  Integration with native windows applications is at 
best a secondary goal of the project.  I would never select DOS line 
endings because it would break most of the applications I use cygwin for.

Yup. You didn't read the CVS manual. Particularly what sticky tags
are, and the reason of being of a certain CVSROOT/cvswrappers file in
the repository.

Furthermore, using textmode mounts in cygwin main filesystem structure
is asking for trouble.

I believe Igor was trying to make the point that you should try this
with
the cvs client that is Cygwin-based.  If you see problems there, then
it's
either a Cygwin-specific issue or a local configuration problem.  If you

don't have problems with the Cygwin cvs client, then you know it's a 
problem with your client or the interaction between the server and the 
client.  Running this kind of test is a worthwhile effort.

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.

I believe Igor was trying to make the point that you should try this
with
the cvs client that is Cygwin-based.  If you see problems there, then
it's
either a Cygwin-specific issue or a local configuration problem.  If you

don't have problems with the Cygwin cvs client, then you know it's a 
problem with your client or the interaction between the server and the 
client.  Running this kind of test is a worthwhile effort.

Can you explain the CVS entries ? I there any file(s) to open to see
entries ?

Y set on my client PC the CVS_RSH= C:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe
But from my IDE or WINCVS i get the same error message : cvs [checkout
aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any).

Please configure your mailer to not quote raw e-mail addresses in your
replies.  Let's not make the spam harvesters' life any easier.

Yes, I think since you logged in via ssh as Administrateur, your CVS
entries will show up as made by Adminstrateur.  CVS (and ssh) can't read
your mind.  PTC. ];->

Also, I think your using plink.exe as your connection client may have
something to do with this.  Try setting CVS_RSH=ssh.exe and see if it
makes the entries correct.
