I realize it's kind of going against the grain to not complain and

want to extend thanks to CGF, Corinna, and everyone who, unlike myself, 
has taken the time to report bugs (with proper bug reports!) and 
somewhere along the line fixed an annoyance that's been bothering me for 
a few releases.  So, to say it one more time and not waste too much more 
bandwidth: Thanks!

does not work : change /cygdrive to /

[lin q]

Hi,
 I am trying to change the path prefix from /cygdrive to / and I tried the 
following commands,

mount --change-cygdrive-prefix /
mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /
 but neither works!
  There is no error code returns, but "cd /c" returns error and I have to 
use "cd /cygdrive" again.

  You see anything wrong?
Thanks.

~/.bashrc is not read for interactive login shells.  "man bash", section
"INVOCATION".

The typical thing to do if you want .bashrc to be read for both login
and non-login shells is to place something like "[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && .
~/.bashrc" in ~/.bash_profile.

why $HOME/.bashrc is not picked up?

[lin q]

Hi,
 I just installed latest cygwin on my WinXP, I can run command and do some 
usual stuff, but I found that .bashrc is not picked up in opening a new 
shell. Here is the file,

  set prompt="%/% "
  set autolist
  set -o vi
  cd $HOME
  alias vi="vim"
  echo hahaha
  
 I can not see "hahaha" when I run cygwin.bat to open a new cygwin window.
 I am sure HOME is set as I add the following line to cygwin.bat,
   echo %HOME%
 and I see the correct path.
 Then I wonder why else might be wrong here?
Thanks.

Not Berkely spice, but I've gotten gnucap to work fine, though IIRC it needs
an ".exe" added to one of it's config files.  Why in the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@$

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: perl-libwin32-0.191-4

[Reini Urban]

This email is to inform you about the release of the updated libwin32 
perl package for the current perl-5.8.6 through http://cygwin.com/setup.exe.

The changes in this release are as follows:
* perl-Win32-GUI was taken out to a seperate package.
* Win32CORE is in perl core now.
* Installed into /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8/
* Maintainer changed from Rafael Kitover to Reini Urban.
* Added Win32::Process::GetCurrentProcessID(),
  Win32::Process::CygwinToWin32ProcessID($pid) and
  Win32::Process::Win32ToCygwinProcessID($pid)
* Minor patches to improve APINet/t/test.t and fix pm_to_blib.ts issues.
Release focus:
* Make it work under current perl-5.8.6
Project description:
A collection of Win32 Perl extensions, collected by ActiveState when
had the patch pumpkin (around 2002), but never maintained it since
then, until recently.
Included modules: Win32API::File, Win32API::Net, Win32API::Registry,
Win32::ChangeNotify, Win32::Clipboard, Win32::Console, Win32::Event, 
Win32::EventLog, Win32::File, Win32::FileSecurity,
Win32::IPC, Win32::Internet, Win32::Job, Win32::Mutex, Win32::NetAdmin, 
Win32::NetResource, Win32::ODBC, Win32::OLE, Win32::PerfLib, 
Win32::Pipe, Win32::Process, Win32::Registry, Win32::Semaphore, 
Win32::Service, Win32::Shortcut, Win32::Sound, Win32::TieRegistry and 
Win32::WinError.

Note: On CPAN there is a newer libwin32-0.24 release which has less 
patches and cygwin enhancements than this package.
It merely collided with the overlong review period of 
perl-libwin32-0.191-4. Of course an update for libwin32-0.24 is in the 
works, but this time with official sanctus upstream. Discussion happens 
in the fresh libwin32@perl.org list. The old ActiveState list dead.

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.

It is me. Additional note: when I back off to previous version 3.9p1-3, I get 
the same failure.

I would imagine because the output of "uname -s" doesn't contain "CYGWIN"
on either Linux or OpenBSD, so "grep -c" outputs a 0.  But even on Cygwin
this works (as Brian already confirmed).

FWIW, a better test would be

if uname -s | grep -q 'CYGWIN'; then ...

You could try "set -x" to see the actual command that is executed...  It
could be due to some stderr output from either uname or grep.
In any case, other than the output of "uname" containing CYGWIN (i.e.,
changes in data), none of the above is Cygwin-specific.

sshd failure (openssh 4.0p1-1)

[somian-cyg]

Dear Maintainers / All,

SYNOPSIS:

The Cygwin sshd seems to have developed an aversion to, uh, working, with the 
latest release, 4.0p1-1. Previous to a recent update via setup.exe, it was
working fine. I can still connect the client to any remote host.

(This may or may not be related to your issue...) I also noticed on the
last update I did that some/all of the packages for ?LaTex? were
updated -- and that the post-install script (post-texmf.sh) took a VERY
long time to complete --- i.e. system looked like it was hung, but was
actually ?building? a lot of postinstall stuff.  This was on a slower
processor machine ~400mhz -- WAG is it took about 8-10 minutes.  I kept
thinking setup was hung -- ended up cancelling it and running
post-texmf.sh by hand ( I also had to comment out line 11, kept getting
permission denied on removing ~/web2c/*.*fmt).

WJFFM:

$ ./test.sh 
Target platform is Win32 via CYGWIN

(both 1 and "1" work the same without error)

Are you sure that the grep in your path is Cygwin's grep?

RE: Possible bash incompatibility - update

[Arash Partow]

Sorry the script should have been:
#!/bin/bash
if [ `uname -s | grep -c 'CYGWIN'` -eq 1 ]; then
printf "Target platform is Win32 via CYGWIN\n";
else
printf "Target platform is NOT Win32 via CYGWIN\n";
fi
Still the same error message etc...

Possible bash incompatibility

[Arash Partow]

Hi all,
Could someone tell me why the piece of bash script below is being
rejected as being erroneous on cygwin but works fine on other bash's
ie: linux and openbsd?
my current version of bash is update (2.05b).
#!/bin/bash
if [ `uname -s | grep -c 'CYGWIN'` -eq "1" ]; then
printf "Target platform is Win32 via CYGWIN\n";
else
printf "Target platform is NOT Win32 via CYGWIN\n";
fi

error message:
bash-2.05b$ ./test.sh
./test.sh: line 3: [: too many arguments
Target platform is NOT Win32 via CYGWIN
bash-2.05b$

Regards

Arash Partow

Re: sshd problems

[giuseppe]

Hi, John!
Of course thanks againn!

So, let's start. this time you asked

- From your data it appears that you can ssh to the 
localhost which means your sshd server is 
- running.  However, you can't connect to your localhost 
from the Linux machine; the connection 
- times out.  Your other examples all look like they are 
connections from the localhost to other 
- machines, which all appear to work.
- 
- Is this a Windows XP machine with Service Pack 2 
installed?  Have you opened up the firewall 
- to allow port 22 through?  If not, that explains 
your problem.  Port 22 is blocked by default.
- 
- The firewall won't block ssh connections originating 
from your localhost to other machines.  
- That would be consistent with the data you've shown.
 

Yes, it's a Windows XP machine with Service Pack 2 installed.

I added an exception for port 22 in Firewall options; anyway 
I could have done some mistakes so I ask you to explain me, 
please, the correct procedure to allow foreing incoming 
through port 22.

best regards
giuseppe
