I don't know what your problem is - but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. You're the guy who insisted on dropping back to 1.5.10! I remember now! I'm not dropping back, it's a customer system, and it's been running 1.5.10 for some time now. In the future, please provide more context if you really want to be helped, especially after almost a month of silence. Apologies. A month was the time it took to get the debug version through testing and to the affected system. I thought the version number and a specific location in the source code (as provided) would be enough information to at least get a pointer from you on whether it's a problem you've seen before. What else do you need? The test were performed with 1.5.10-3, as newer versions call upon me all sorts of other problems and thus can't be pushed to the failing box right now.

I'm not asking you to spend a lot of time on it. I just hope you could shed some light on the issue. Eg. have you seen hung Cygwin processes having to do with closing file descriptor 5 before? Any information on why it's closing file descriptor 5 (it's not used by the scripts) would be helpful too. 2) You can *try* a snapshot to see if it fixes your problem.

Is it not possible for cygwin's implementation of getmntent() to also return junctions/reparse points as mount table entries, to give an accurate picture of all mount points to tools that need it? Mount points don't usually change during operation, so cygwin could take the same approach of caching all Windows mount points up front at the same time it caches cygwin mount points; isn't it possible for such caching to be done once as cygwin1.dll initializes and shared, rather than once per process that uses cygwin1.dll?

Hello, and installation question
All -
First, 'Hello' from a new subscriber (though not a new user). I use Cygwin
primarily for cross-development from a Win32 host and find it impressively
functional. Now I need to bring some other developers on-board.
My question: I need to install Cygwin on systems with no net access and am
having problems building a CD fileset from which to install on other
machines.
I have a very satisfactory Cygwin installation on a net-connected WinXP-Pro
laptop and would like to install a similar configuration on other systems. I
haven't been completely successful targeting a Win2k desktop system.
I used the Cygwin installer to download the fileset I want, and put the
downloaded directory in the same branch as the installer and those files the
installer creates ('setup.ini', etc.). I then put the entire branch on a CD
and tried to install from that on my target. The result is only a partial
installation - most obviously I miss some of the X11 files. The problem
files don't appear on the the installation list when I work on the target,
but they _do_ appear when I use the same CD on my original installation
host. (I know I am missing the 'xorgX11*bin-dlls* files; there may be others
I haven't noticed yet.) I know the files are on the CD, but they don't show
up on the installation menu list _when_I'm_on_the_new_ target_. They appear
just fine on the target where the packages were already installed.
I have tried installation directly from the CD, from a hard-drive copy of
its 'setup.exe', and from a full HD copy of the fileset. None of these was
successful.
The target machine has a _very_ old, non-X11-supporting installation of a
'Cygnus' API that I ultimately want to replace, but for the moment I want
parallel environments if possible. (I mention this in case there may be
interaction, though I haven't noticed any.)
I conjecture there is a list or configuration file somewhere on the target
or on my CD that screens packages for possible installation, but I don't
know how to force the choices or modify (delete?) such a file.
TIA for any suggestions.

Re: Bug in 'find' 4.2.11-CVS when traversing NTFS mount points
On Fri, Feb 18, 2005 at 06:28:19AM -0700, Eric Blake wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 According to Corinna Vinschen on 2/18/2005 1:58 AM: The reason for your problem is that Cygwin doesn't check for volume mount points. FWICT, there's a very simple solution for that, calling a specific Windows function (GetVolumePathName) from inside Cygwin. But I'm sure you don't want that. Using this function inside of Cygwin slows down Cygwin incredibly, because that function is staggeringly slow. I called find in medium sized directory trees and find needed about 10 times longer to traverse the directory tree than without this function. Sorry, but there's currently no good solution for that. Both find and coreutils df use the gnulib module mountlist.c to build an internal cache of all mount points up front, rather than constantly querying if a particular directory is a mount point. Is it not possible for cygwin's implementation of getmntent() to also return junctions/reparse points as mount table entries, to give an accurate picture of all mount points to tools that need it? Mount points don't usually change during operation, so cygwin could take the same approach of caching all Windows mount points up front at the same time it caches cygwin mount points; isn't it possible for such caching to be done once as cygwin1.dll initializes and shared, rather than once per process that uses cygwin1.dll? Yes, I know, PTC. So rather than wait 10 seconds in the case when you are traversing mount points, you'd rather that every cygwin program was guaranteed to be delayed by 10 seconds or more at startup? That doesn't sound like a win to me. cgf -- 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/

Service not starting unless...
Hello, Wondering if anyone out there has faced this issue. Cygwin service does not start on a Windows Server. Message is Service failed to respond in a timely manner. Read some suggestions from the email threads and tried many with no success. If I check the box Allow service to interact with desktop it does start. I am trying to understand the implications of checking that box and trying to understand why this is happening. In my ignorance I think it could be a file permissions error of some sort. Any ideas are appreciated ...

(What OS version are you using?) I went through many troubleshooting tasks involving policies, permissions, etc. Ultimately, I am able to workaround the issue through the use of Windows' runas command. I Specify Runas /user:domain\serviceaccount 'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -...' ...sshd Only problem is that the sshd process seems to die if I logoff even though it's a background task running under another context. Either way, if you solve the problem, I would like to try the solution against our situation.

Here are the steps to reproduce the problem. I've got ssh and sshd
correctly configured to forward ssh-agent connections. The second ssh
command should not prompt to the public key passphrase.
% keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa

Enter passphrase for /home/drothe/.ssh/id_dsa:
Identity added: /home/drothe/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/drothe/.ssh/id_dsa)
% . ~/.keychain/tela-sh
% ssh `hostname`
% ssh `hostname`
Enter passphrase for key '/home/drothe/.ssh/id_dsa':
I tried this on four different computers and was unable to duplicate
the problem. I also asked Corinna to try it out and she was unable
to duplicate it either.
I assume that ssh-agent is disappearing after the first ssh connection
attempt. Can you use strace -ofoo -p pid to attach to the ssh-agent
prior to the first ssh `hostname` and send the output here?
The ssh-agent process is not dying.
I should have mentioned that I have the following in my ~/.profile:
if [ -z $SSH_AUTH_SOCK ]; then
keychain --quiet --noask ~/.ssh/id_dsa
. ~/.keychain/${HOSTNAME}-sh
fi
So, after the first ssh `hostname`, I have SSH_AUTH_SOCK defined in my
environment but not SSH_AGENT_PID. If I source the .keychain file to
define SSH_AGENT_PID, the second ssh `hostname` succeeds.
I've attached the strace output as you requested.

If you use -A, the first ssh call will forward an encrypted channel so that the new shell can access your identity/passphrase for subsequent ssh calls. Ah, I see. You're taking what he wrote literally and I wasn't. I'd assumed that these were two separate invocations of ssh, not nested ones. But, my assumption makes no sense and your advice does make sense given what was reported.

Is SSH_AGENT_PID defined in your environment after the first ssh `hostname`? No. And, it shouldn't be. SSH_AGENT_PID doesn't make any sense after you've logged into a system. Right. I was asking because the only way I could get this to work was to have SSH_AGENT_PID defined. I'm seeing the problem on two different WinXP Pro machines and a Win2000 machine. I've tested with the default .profile and .bashrc files and with sh instead of bash. So, it doesn't appear to be something peculiar to my machine or environment. I believe the problem is due to the new traverse checking. When I start ssh-agent the first time, I see the following in my /tmp directory: % l /tmp total 0 drwx--+ 2 drothe None 0 Feb 18 11:47 ssh-YwRaOw6140/ Since /tmp/ssh-YwRaOw6140 is owned by my user (drothe), the first ssh `hostname` has no problem accessing the ssh-agent socket. After I do the first ssh `hostname`, I have the following: % l /tmp total 0 drwx--+ 2 SYSTEM root 0 Feb 18 11:50 ssh-AtsnfLH756/ drwx--+ 2 drothe None 0 Feb 18 11:47 ssh-YwRaOw6140/ % getfacl /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756/ # file: /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756/ # owner: SYSTEM # group: root user::rwx group::--- mask:rwx other:--- default:user::rwx default:group::--- default:other:--- Plus, SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set to the new directory: % echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756/agent.756 % l $SSH_AUTH_SOCK srwxrwxrwx 1 drothe None 0 Feb 18 11:57 /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756/agent.756= % getfacl $SSH_AUTH_SOCK # file: /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756/agent.756 # owner: drothe # group: None user::rw- group::rw- other:rw- mask:rwx With traverse checking enabled, my user (drothe) can't access /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756/agent.756, even though that file (socket?) has 777 permissions, since the /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756 directory is owned by SYSTEM and has 700 permissions. So, the next ssh `hostname` command prompts for a passphrase. With traverse checking disabled, drothe can access /tmp/ssh-AtsnfLH756/agent.756 and the next ssh `hostname` command succeeds without prompting. So, I can get this working by defining CYGWIN=server notraverse in my default environment as well as the sshd environment. Without the notraverse in the sshd environment, the test fails. I can also get it working by manually executing % chown $USER $(dirname $SSH_AUTH_SOCK) after the first ssh `hostname`. -- David Rothenbergerspammer? - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG/PGP: 0x7F67E734, C233 365A 25EF 2C5F C8E1 43DF B44F BA26 7F67 E734 We are what we pretend to be. -- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. -- 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/

rxvt installation results in broken man/info pages, unreadable shell prompt
