I agree.
I also realized that port 25 on the Windows Firewall exception for port 25
should be irrelevant to this issue -- Windows Firewall is only supposed to
filter incoming connections, not ongoing connections. (Right?)

Both my setup.exe and package lists are stale. So, it's time for a wipe/ fresh
install cycle. Maybe that will fix things.

Fortune potty-mouth and those who demand it
Guys: Don't email me privately on this matter. It makes no sense to discuss this "community" issue privately, even assuming I wished to do so, which I do not. This issue is only an issue at all because of the public nature of Cygwin, so any discussions on the matter must also be of a public nature. In that spirit, I will assume any private emails I receive on the matter were intended to go to the list and accidentally went to me due to the "Reply != Reply To List" issue we're still having to put up with even though it's the 21st century, and I will send any replies of my own to the list.

Yes. According to your logs below, you seem to have two problems: 1) queue runner fork problems, probably due to a rebase issue. (I am not an expert, not having been a victim) 2) a mail delivery issue: > 2005-01-09 09:18:21 IA282L-00030G-88 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=dpchr > ist P=local S=716 > 2005-01-09 09:18:21 IA282L-00030G-88 cloud.he.net [65.19.145.2]: > Software caused connection abort > 2005-01-09 09:18:21 IA282L-00030G-88 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] > m R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (113): Software caused connection abort This shows that a mail was generated locally (from cron, I assume). The delivery failed, apparently because of an issue at the remote end, but perhaps with a local root cause (rebase?). (I grep'ed "Software caused" in the exim source and didn't find it.) You could try to find details by running "exim -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]" from the command line (type CR + a few words + CR when exim seems to wait for input). ssmtp is less likely to suffer rebase issue.

Is Cygwin cron supposed to send e-mail reports?
Cygwin: I have a Debian box and several Cygwin boxes that back themselves up every night and rsync the tarballs to a central Cygwin/XP backup server. It all works, with the exception that I can't figure out how to get the Cygwin boxes to send me e-mail reports (the Debian box does this, and it's very useful). I've downloaded, installed, and configured Cygwin exim (and opened up the Windows Firewall SMTP port) expecting that cron would send messages via the /usr/sbin/sendmail symbolic link, but that didn't seem to do the trick. I downloaded, installed, and fumbled around with everything else available under the Cygwin Setup "Mail" category, plus some manual command-line tests, looking at logs, etc., but couldn't figure it out. I searched the Cygwin FAQ, User's Guide, and mailing list, and searched Google for permutations on "Cygwin cron mail", but I didn't find anything that looked like it addressed this specific issue.

Problem in pthread_key_create

in the pthread library of Cygwin. Can someone have a look at this?

Subject: Question about pthread_key_create
Hi all,
A question, I had a look at the implementation of pthread_key_create. When
an invalid key is passed, a EBUSY is returned. This looks very strange to
me, isn't it better to return EINVAL just as the pthread_key_delete does?
Also, shouldn't be the check be
if (!pthread_key::is_good_object (key))
return EINVAL;
Note the !, when previously a good key was passed, we got back a EBUSY.

If it works, that would make cygwin have equivalent to what's in win32 perl. Here's the Win32CORE part. I'd really like to see the builtin Win32:: functions be available in the cygwin perl, and this seems the easiest way to do it for just a cygwin release, but in the longer term I'm really hoping to get the equivalent (only newer now) code in from the regular win32 perl build shared between win32 and cygwin by the time 5.8.7 is ready. AIUI cutoff for that will be February 1st. This patch should apply to the perl-5.8.6 source, and the tarball has the new files for the Win32CORE extension. Those are taken verbatim from the perl-libwin32 package, except that I added a "no warnings "redefine"' to the Win32CORE.pm so those who use it don't get warnings.

Re: Obscene content in cygwin file.
Gary R. Van Sickle wrote: The question stands: What is the reason Cygwin should provide this obscene content? This is not the question. Yes, it is. Arbitrary pronouncement, in light of this I see no flaw in my reasoning. The content exists, it has already been provided. "Should it be provided" is moot. Support your position or yield it. Cygwin already provides the content. Accidentally, and without the knowledge or consent of the user. Bugs in software can an should be reported as such, operational failure of software is not uncommon and in no way need of debate. The debate arises from the position you put forward that the content should not be there even in properly operating software. Therefore the question is: should it be removed? The answer to that is yes. Again I ask: why should Cygwin provide this content? Again arbitrary pronouncement, without supporting argument. Not compelling. I still see now flaw in my analysis. You argue that it should, because you asses some of the content as obscene, and are personally offended by it. You're late to the party Josh. As I stated in my second post on the subject, I am in no way personally offended by it. I simply find it purile and unprofessional. I am not late to the debate, I simply had to assume that you were putting forward your own opinion. If you are not putting forward you opinion then there is no debate, because there is no one who is offended. Arguing someone else's potential position is meaningless. Further you imply that removing the package from your own system is inadequate to address this offense. (please correct me if I miss state your argument) <> You have almost completely misstated my argument. Allow me to restate it in convenient bullet-list form: - The limericks in question could realistically get somebody fired or sued. <>- I am realistically one of the many parties that could conceivably get sued. So to understand better you are not offended by the limericks your are concerned that you are inviting a lawsuit from someone who is offended? Are you denying people an opportunity to uninstall the software? Do you require people to use fortune to keep their job, and fail to inform them of this when they began? Unless you force an employee to use the software and you didn't not make it clear they would be working with that software from the beginning you can not be held liable, you can be sued but they would not win the suite. In fact you can be sued at any time for any reason, the question of liability is what determines who will win. I, for example, work in the entertainment industry where such potentially offensive material is worked on every day, our employees are not obliged to work on offensive material, and/or have been informed of the content before being employed. So they can not succeed in any law suite against us for having such material online, or in an area where they may happen upon it. If you do not follow the guidelines then fortune/cygwin is the least of your worries. No one is being forced to read dirty limericks, and with out such force dirty limericks are protected by freedom of speech. In all such cases it is the responsibility of the viewer to stop viewing. I recommend getting a laymans book on harassment in the workplace it seems you are not very well informed in this area. I recommend "Sexual Harassment Awareness Training: 60 Practical Activities for Trainers," however there are others. - Red Hat is even more realistically one of the many parties that could conceivably get sued. This, while considerably more plausible, is still not a valid argument as Red Hat wave such warranty of responsibility in their license agreement. And again they don't force anyone to use there software or to read dirty limericks. - The limericks in question are installed without the knowledge or consent of the installer.

As an experiment, can you try to build 21.4.15 with gcc-3.3.3? > I would be surprised if that worked. OK, victory at last. It _is_ a rebase problem, but not with xemacs as such, rather GTK. The clue was that 2.4.15 _did_ rebuild OK when all I did was 'make clean && make', so I looked at the differences between the two src directories with a microscope, and noticed that 2.4.16 was using libtiff3.dll and jpeg62.dll from GTK and (because I had built it before I installed GTK) 2.4.15 was not. Now I had rebased those two by hand (because for reasons I can't now figure out rebaseall didn't do them -- pbly because I installed GTK 'by hand' as it were, not via the package mechanism), but I had _not_ checked _their_ dependencies, and sure enough: 1) libtiff3 uses GTK's zlib1.dll 2) rebasing zlib1.dll solves the problem.
