OpenSSH on windows Problem

[hassani]

Hello,
I am planning to use OPENSSH in my COMMMERCIAL project for custom SFTP
support on WINDOWS operating system. I have couple of queries regarding
that.

1. Is it necessary to use cygwin1.dll after i compile the OpenSSH source.
Does portable version of openssh require cygwin1.dll during execution. Does
OpenSSH use cygwin source code. What else from cygwin is required for
OpenSSH usage except cygwin1.dll.

2. If cygwin1.dll is a must then according to gpl(know little of it uptill
now) do i have to open my source code. OpenSSH is already open source and i
will be using OpenSSH source code in my application.

Waiting for an urgent reply.

Thank You.

ghostscript?

[sven geier]

This may be a stupid-newbie-mistake or something, but I installed ghostscript 
and gv and when I type at the prompt

% gv /path/to/some/ps/document

gv comes up fine, then gives me an error alert-box that 
says "Unknown device: x11"

Indeed, x11 does not seem to be one of the devices known to gs:

I get the same results with sband.out, stime.out, stime2.out
and the c d and z equivalents.

I've built LAPACK many times on cygwin, and I used scripts that
worked in the past, so it looks like a recent(ish) bug.

I don't think either of those meets the letter of the original request.

If you only want the files in the current directory then something like:

ls -d *.f | grep -v '^_' | xargs grep EXPRESSION

should work better.

Or if you use zsh you can just do:

grep EXPRESSION *.f~_*

The good news is that it runs the regular binaries of your distribution 
and behaves in every way almost the same as if it were an independant 
server.

The bad news is you have to go to the trouble of setting up an 
independant "virtual" server and it doesn't integrate with windows like 
cygwin does.

I've now got coLinux sessions smbmounting my windows disks (and vice 
versa) and cygwin X server running in rootless mode (X -multiwindow) so 
I can combine my linux and windows apps nicely.

On reflection, since cygpath -M is supposed to report on the mount type
(binmode or textmode) of a given path and c:/foo does not refer to a
mounted path, it seems like it is well within its rights to return
an error.

However, again, if you want to provide a patch, it will be thoughtfully
considered.

   find *.f ! -name '*_*'|xargs grep

is how I would do it, but there's probably a better way.  (Assuming
you have no subdirectories ending with .f)

I think a "!" was forgotten.

find . \( ! -name \*_\* \) -o -name \*.f -print | xargs grep EXPRESSION

The parentheses may not be needed -- you can try it both ways.

Disclaimer: this is not a shell programming support forum, and the above
post is off-topic for this list, since it asks a general shell question
not related to Cygwin.

But, since I'm sending this e-mail anyway (and I hope this in no way
encourages similar future posts):

find . -name \*_\* -o -name \*.f -print | xargs grep EXPRESSION

Again, the above is *not* Cygwin-specific.

Set your home path in '/etc/passwd' to the directory you want.  Edit the

file directly or just use 'mkpasswd -p'.

You missed some important data requested by:

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

for problem reports.  Specifically, you left out the cygcheck output
from these machines.  From it, I could tell for sure whether my semi-WAG
is the solution for your problem.  Oh well. 

Take 'tty' out of the CYGWIN environment variable on the first machine
and restart the shells.  You'd see this same thing with Cygwin 1.5.5 too,
if you used 'tty' with it.

RE: change opening path

[Igor Pechtchanski]

If you're the only one using Cygwin on your machine, try

echo "cd /cygdrive/c" >> /etc/profile

and then restart the Cygwin shell.

In the future, when you need to find out which package contains a
particular program, use the Cygwin package search page at
 (it helps to prepend "bin/" to program
names, especially short ones like "vi").

RE: change opening path

[Tom Plane]

Thanks Dave.

I tried this and got an error.

bash: vi: command not found

I did a default install.

A little more help please.

open a command prompt (bash)

type: cd /etc

press: 'G' to go the end
press: 'A' to go to the end of the current line in insert mode
press: enter to open a new line
type: cd *path_to_wherever*

Set your home path in '/etc/passwd' to the directory you want.  Edit the 
file directly or just use 'mkpasswd -p'.

You missed some important data requested by:

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

for problem reports.  Specifically, you left out the cygcheck output
from these machines.  From it, I could tell for sure whether my semi-WAG
is the solution for your problem.  Oh well.  

Take 'tty' out of the CYGWIN environment variable on the first machine
and restart the shells.  You'd see this same thing with Cygwin 1.5.5 too,
if you used 'tty' with it.

running win32 text mode application in bash

[WELLS, ROGER K.]

Having googled the universe looking for information:

I hope this is not to the wrong list but here goes:

I have been using cygwin's bash shell for several years as my only 
interface to building and developing our applications on Windows 2000 pro 
and more recently Winodws XP pro.  Somewhere in the not to distant past 
someting changed and I don't know if I did it or it came with an update. 
Specifically:

in a bash shell typing the command: net time '\\machine' /set  should 
retrieve the time from "machine" and prompt you for a "Y" or "N" response 
before proceeding.
On a Windows XP pro with sp1 the following is the result:

$ net time '\\rwells-rh' /set
Current time at \\rwells-rh is 9/1/2004 9:55 AM

Local time (GMT) at \\rwells-rh is 9/1/2004 2:55 PM

The current local clock is 9/1/2004 9:55 AM
Do you want to set the local computer's time to match the
time at \\rwells-rh? (Y/N) [Y]:
No valid response was provided.

from cygcheck -c on this machine:
bash 2.05b-16   OK
cygwin   1.5.10-3   OK

other text mode programs that expect user response via the keyboard fail 
similarly as well.


on another machine (Windows 2000) on which cygwin has not been updated in 
about 10 months 
cygcheck -c  yields:
bash 2.05b-16   OK
cygwin   1.5.5-1OK

the command executes as expected:

$ net time '\\rwells-rh' /set
Current time at \\rwells-rh is 9/1/2004 11:09 AM

Local time (GMT) at \\rwells-rh is 9/1/2004 3:09 PM

The current local clock is 9/1/2004 11:09 AM
Do you want to set the local computer's time to match the
time at \\rwells-rh? (Y/N) [Y]: (the enter 
key is pressed here thus issuing the default "Y" response)
The command completed successfully.

other textmode programs that expect user response via the keyboard behave 
as expected as well.

At one time (probably some months ago) these commands behaved as expected 
on the XP machine as well.
It may be interesting to note that if the command that succeeds is issued 
in an ssh session from the XP machine it fails as well.

thanks in advance for any advice

OK.  You want to set your IOCTL to 12 and encapsulate that in a series of 
while loops.  Make sure you watch for a SIGINT signal, otherwise you'll
wind up in an endless loop!

If that doesn't work for some strange reason, let me point you to:

I'd recommend following the guidelines there for any subsequent problem
reports you send to the list.

Ah, here's something:

128: "'new' file exists"

Isn't Google wonderful?  Also available in "info g77" -> "Debugging and

Well, then, "make" behaves as expected -- if the command returns a
non-zero return code, it's an error as far as "make" is concerned.  Is
returning 128 the expected behavior for "xlintims"?  If so, the Makefile
is buggy -- it should ignore the return code.  If not, then you have to
debug "xlintims" -- figure out *why* it returns 128.

FWIW, here's something of interest (from
, heavily snipped):

When a program finishes executing it returns an exit code to the
system. The batch system reports this exit code. There are three
general ways for the exit code of a program to be set.

1) The program can explicitly call exit() (or return from main(),
   which eventually calls exit()). In this case the exit code is
   the argument to exit() and its meaning depends on the program.
   The call to exit() may actually occur in a library routine that
   your program uses. The only known example of this is the FORTRAN
   io library. The FORTRAN io routines set an exit code in the range
   100 - 185 when an error occurs. The specific meaning of these codes
   can be found in the appendix to the Fortran 77 Programmer's Guide
   (available online as an insight book).
2) The program executes the last instruction in main(), (not
   calling exit() or return).  In this case the system sets the
   exit code to 0.
3) The program can terminate due to the receipt of a signal. In
   this case the system sets the exit code to 128 + .
   [snip]

Here case 1 probably applies, since there's no signal 0.  However,
,
which is one place that lists the error codes, doesn't have an entry for
128.  You're going to have to debug this yourself...

BTW, one other interesting thing I found, when Googling for "LAPACK
xlintimes 128 stime.in", is a .ps file titled "LAPACK Working Note 41
Installation Guide for LAPACK" (second and fourth matches).  The bits of
interest are quoted below:

Small data sets are indicated by lower case names, such as
stime.in, and large data sets are indicated by upper case names,
such as STIME.in.
...
The small data sets for the REAL version are stime.in, sband.in,
and stime2.in, respectively, and the large data sets are STIME.in,
SBAND.in, and STIME2.in.

This will *not* work properly on Windows, and won't on Cygwin either
unless you use a managed mount.
HTH,
Igor

Here's the recipe for solving these kinds of problems.

1. Goto 
2. Type in the name of the missing file.  Press 'Enter'.  This will tell you 
   the name of the package with that file.
3. Run setup.
4. Find the package in the chooser and install it.
5. Bask in the glory of a job well-done! :-)

"0xa"?  Why would the code use an absolute hex value?
sorry
0xa is the flags return by strace when checking a binary mounted file like. 
of course, strace dosn't know the #define or enum strings

for example,
run:  strace cygpath -M /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util/map-KOI8-R (which is 
mounted a binary)
[]
282  712265 [main] cygpath 404 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\util\map-KOI8-R, flags > 0xA <<, rc 0
[]

in fact 0xA = PATH_BINARY + (something else) , where PATH_BINARY =0x2
we have following calls
cygpath -> cygwin_internal(CW_GET_BINMODE) -> path_conv::check which set 
path_flags to 0xA for binary, and then returns O_BINARY or O_TEXT to 
cygpath, depending of the mode.

for c:/foo, path_conv::check  set path_flags to zero and 
cygwin_internal(CW_GET_BINMODE) returns zero instead of O_BINARY or O_TEXT

arnaud

PTC, but not a P that uses an absolute hex value.

Loading Cygwin based DLLs dynamically from non-Cygwin programs has been
broken for a very long time.  Please check the archives if you want more
information.  It comes up continually.

As was documented in the announcement for the latest
release of openssh, the '-r' switch applies to that release.
It does not apply to earlier releases, which you are
running.

"0xa"?  Why would the code use an absolute hex value?

PTC, but not a P that uses an absolute hex value.

Correct.  There's really no need for more discussion about this.  This

has been in place for years.  It's time the documentation was changed to

Cygwin doesn't do anything special with USB devices.  It seems like you

I believe you needed to fix this problem above before you tried using 
ssh to your box.  I don't know if the others saw your first message on 
the list before they saw your tape drive and ssh problem.  Would you 
please reply to the list with both your cygwin.dll version and the

the privilege separation problem.  Additional information is located

PHP has been withdrawn from the cygwin distribution since it was broken.
Apparently, there's a new Apache maintainer for cygwin, who also has 
taken on support for mod-php4, so there's hope.  I have seen no 
indication of when it will be re-added, though.

As mentioned in a post yesterday, I also miss a working, integrated PHP 
for cygwin.  Getting it to work manually proved to hard for me.  Using a 
non-cygwin (i.e. Win32 native) PHP is unattractive, as this can't be an 
cygwin Apache module.

FORTRAN open/read problem with drive letters

[Dr. Peter Pichler]

Dear colleagues,
I encountered some unexpected problems when opening a data file in a 
FORTRAN program and reading characters from it. I work on WINDOWS XP and 
I downloaded today the latest version of  cygwin from 
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/. g77 claims to be version 3.3.3

The problem which can be reproduced by the small program attached occurs 
only when I open the file (test.dat is assumed here to reside in the 
root directory of drive d) with an absolute path in the form 
'd:/test.dat' and when the read format is '(A)'. In this case, the 
output consists of three empty lines only. Not even the "read:" is 
printed. The problem does not occur when I use '/cygdrive/d/test.dat' to 
open the file or when the read format contains explicitly the correct 
length of the line. It is apparent that the data file is found and 
opened since the number of lines found during reading corresponds to the 
actual number of lines in the file.

Any help would be welcome.
Kind regards,
Peter Pichler

There's a description in the source dir how autoload works, see

Sure, but there's an important difference.  In the normal case,
EnumProcessModules will return TRUE and sets n to a useful value.
What do you do if EnumProcessModules returns FALSE?

Thanks!  It will take some time but perhaps you want to contribute

Re: Strange font behaviour with Cygwin

[Mats Bengtsson]

The problem is that the package tetex-tiny, that is installed
when you install lilypond doesn't contain all the fonts that
are actually used in LilyPond. The solution for you is to
simply rerun setup.exe and select the package called tetex-base,
which contains a complete set of font files.
I don't really know why this problem has persisted for such long
time. The solution is either to add some more font files to
tetex-tiny or let lilypond depend on tetex-base instead.

\override the fonts and specify, for example, to use "cmr08" for the bar 
numbers (which is, apparently, the same font that cannot be found 
normally), the font *can* be found and is present in the resulting .ps 
and .pdf output. Also note that all title fonts are present without 
having to \override them...

This has been happening at least since version 2.2.0, I'm currently 
running 2.2.5 on both Cygwin and Fedora.

I'm stumped, actually, and I'm wondering if anybody here can shed some 
light on this strange problem?

TIA.

Re: c:/ seems to be accessed in binary even if cygwin is configured as textmode by default

[Arnaud Mouiche]

Cygwin User's 
Guide  http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html says

"The Cygwin system gives us some flexibility in deciding how files are to 
be opened when the mode is not specified explicitly. The rules are 
evolving, this section gives the design goals.

a) If the file appears to reside on a file system that is mounted (i.e. if 
its pathname starts with a directory displayed by mount), then the default 
is specified by the mount flag. If the file is a symbolic link, the mode of 
the target file system applies.

b) If the file appears to reside on a file system that is not mounted (as 
can happen when the path contains a drive letter), the default is text.

 "
In understand that a windows path ([...] the path contains a drive letter ) 
should be seen as text file.
This not what I experience.

If you're using a Windows path, you bypass mounts.  Mounts map POSIX paths
to Windows, not the reverse.

I agree with you, but it worked with old version of cygwin.
Get the possibility to tune binmode/textmode of Window path for cygwin 
application looks like important to me.

The greet things with cygwin is to mix windows and unix world. I don't 
know the history of cygwin, but I may suppose that the option "mount -t" 
was here to get this compatibility between unix and windows.
Most of the time I use the cygwin make, sed, grep, diff, cvs in 
combination with  (only) windows development tools ( especially armcc ). I 
use "cygpath -m" to get compatible path for both environment. I can't use 
it now.

issue #1:
I start to look at this problem when tkcvs was not able any more to 
perform a diff between 2 version.  tkdiff, copy the cvs HEAD release of a 
version in temporary directory, then call the cygwin 'diff' to perform the 
comparaison. diff compare the local file (text mode) with the one in temp 
directory (c:/tmp/, so in binmode)

issue #2:
even whith cygwin "tclsh"  version,
   glob /*
returns
   C:/cygwin/bin C:/cygwin/cygwin.bat C:/cygwin/cygwin.ico 
issue #3:
Another example: the 2 following lines don't gives the same result
cd c:/ && grep  file
grep  c:/file

Error in first execution

[mirko tebaldi]

Hi to everyone !

i'm a new-new-user with a new problem ! the pdf manual and the guides on
Google don't help me

I downloaded and installed the 'deafult' packages, with no modying notinhg
of what proposed from cygwin setup program.

when i installed. i double-clicked on its icon on desktop and i receive an
advise from sed.exe about cygintl-3.dll not found. the terminal windows
start but... what's the error?

i'm using win 2003 server, and i installed from administrator login so i
have ALL the permissions (the machine is mine). i installed for 'all users',
because i'm the only user of the machine

thanx.
