does rxvt really read /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt as stated in cygwin documentation?
In the rxvt documentation shipped with cygwin (as presented by 'man rxvt') it claims I can set system-wide defaults in a file in a file named /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt. I've been trying to do that but rxvt seems to completely ignore the contents of such a file. If, however, the same file contents are placed in ~/.Xdefaults it reads them fine. Is this documentation correct? I'm having no luck with getting rxvt to read /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. We do need some sort of system level default because we are configuring end user laptops with cygwin - we want a reasonable default set up but we also want to let the knowledgable user override it - the easiest way is to have two configuration files - one that gets updated by systems scripts and one the user maintains. We would like to reserve ~/.Xdefaults for the user's customizations. It doesn't appear to be a start up issue. No matter whether I launch rxvt from a shortcut (e.g. starting in XP land and moving into the world of cygwin) or if I start in a bash shell and enter rxvt at the prompt I have the same problem.

No absolute path for shell: error
I am new to Cygwin/X, so I apologize if this question is stupid. I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. I am trying to run an application using Cygwin/X. Testing that my X-server is running properly using 'xterm' seems to work fine. However, when I run my application (called 'A' here): $ A test.txt I get an error: No absolute path found for shell: A Flipping through the mailing list archives, I found another post that asked a similar question. The suggested fix was to update to patch 203. Following that post, I typed xterm -v to find out what patch I was using: $ xterm -v Cygwin 6.8.2.0(202) I'll assume that this means that I am using patch 202. I re-installed the code using the setup.exe program making sure that I included xorg-x11-xwin: Cygwin/XX server version 6.8.2.0-4. I still got the same error absolute path error. xterm -v indicated that I was still using patch 202. Finally, I tried re-running the setup.exe program using the 'Exp' button to download the latest version of everything. xterm -v still indicated that I was using patch 202 and I still got the same absolute path error as above. Am I not downloading the latest patch correctly or am I not setting up my X-server correctly?

Redirect SSHD messages from Application to Security log in Win2k
Hi all, Installed cygwin sshd as a service on Win2k Advanced Server yesterday and it works great. I have 2 issues, not real problems. 1) The sshd messages in the Windows Event Viewer Application log are half junk and half real message. The following junk paragraph appears in every logged message. How can I get rid of it ? The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( sshd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. 2) I would like the ssh messages to go to the Security log, as it is empty now and seems like a logically named place for these events. The application log is getting full quickly by ssh logon/logoff messages.

Call for testing Cygwin snapshot
Since we're much too long on the way to the 1.5.19 release and there are already way too many changes since 1.5.18, we would again like to ask people for testing the latest snapshot, 2005-Nov-30, from http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/ Please report back in this thread when you encounter a problem, which you can't reproduce with 1.5.18. We're interested in regressions in the first place. 1.5.19 has also some new functionality over 1.5.18. If you have sources which take advantage of that stuff if present, we're also interested in getting feeedback about those: - clock_getres, clock_setres. - fts(3) functions (BSD). - futimes. - getline, getdelim. - memmem. - mlock,munlock. - mmap(..., MAP_NORESERVE) for anonymous maps. - pread, pwrite. - readdir_r. - strptime's 'c and 'Z' formats. - timelocal, timegm. Keep in mind that we can easier find problems if you attach a brief, concise, selfcontained testcase, if possible in plain C, which allows easy reproducing. If nothing's overly badly broken, we're planning to release 1.5.19 within the next week. Keep your fingers crossed. Again, please report all problems as reply to this mail.

That's about 50 times faster than the theoretical maximum throughput of 10Base-T ethernet. Even this modest system can encrypt 5 times faster than the absolute maximum rate of 100 megabit ethernet.

how to make ssh-agent automatically
Hi, I yesterday installed a bare minimum Cygwin (via internet) on to a laptop running Windows XP. The purpose of the Cygwin installation is to backup data on to a Linux computer using rsync and ssh. I was wondering, to allow for passwordless login via ssh I have to run ssh-agent and ssh-add commands. I have put ssh-agent in .bashrc in Cygwin user's home and kill $SSH_AGENT_PID in .bash_logout. But how do I deal with ssh-add? In other words, what do I need to do so that a user doesn't need to do ssh-add each time he logins into his account in Windows XP (ssh-agent and ssh-add run automatically)? There is no X server installed, no Gnome, no KDM, no fvwm.

The (probably localized) messages must be provided by such an event message file (the misleading MS-term;-), which is essentially an .exe or .dll containing (message id, string) pairs in a resource section. For Cygwin, this would be one trivial (0, %1) pair. Does such a file (and associated registry tool) exist for Cygwin? It's trivial to add the RT_MESSAGETABLE resource to cygwin1.dll that contains the single message %1\r\n. It's complicated by the fact that windres doesn't have parsing support for messagetables, but you can just specify the raw binary for something this trivial. If you search the ML archives someone posted the appropriate .rc bits a couple years ago. The hard part is that for every event source you need to add keys: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\(name)\ EventMessageFile = REG_SZ c:\path\to\cygwin1.dll TypesSupported = REG_DWORD 0x1f where (name) is whatever the application passed to openlog()'s first parameter. This sucks because it means that to truly do this right, the code in Cygwin's openlog() has got to add these keys every time it's called. But it can't just blindly overwrite whatever event source might exist already because otherwise a malicious application that called e.g. openlog(MsiInstaller, ...) would fubar the MSI event source. So it's got to check if the event source exists, decide if it's a Cygwin event source, figure out if the DLL path is correct, and if not, put the current cygwin DLL path in the key. This is not insurmountable but it's kind of a pain. I've been slowly working on a patch that does all this, but it's not ready yet. For the time being I just add event sources manually and it works great. Why complicate openlog()? Let the Cygwin applications that use openlog() do this (e.g., in a postinstall script). We could even add a utility package in Base, similar to editrights, that contains scripts for adding and removing this setting (something like 'regtool add KEY/$1/VAL; regtool set KEY/$1/VAL value') that the postinstall and preremove scripts can invoke... That way this would also be cleaned up if, say, openssh were uninstalled.

Though it's slightly less automatic since it requires every package maintainer of any program that writes to the event log to do something in a postinstall (and presumably preremove) script. But if it were turnkey to the point of being able to just run add-event-source sshd in a postinstall, then it wouldn't be too much hassle, and the user could even do it manually if necessary.

RE: how to make ssh-agent automatically
Hi HS... You can use keychain (a package available from setup.exe). I do something like ssh-add -l /dev/null 21 if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then ssh-add fi in my .bash_profile, because keychain is slow when I launch several windows. Why do you kill the agent when you log out? (Windows will kill it when you log off from windows.) If you want to keep the agent around from one login to the next, you can launch the agent as a service. I used to do that with keychain, but for performance reasons, I use ssh-agent and ssh-add directly. I plan on proposing a package for doing this. HTH, ...Karl From: H.S. Subject: how to make ssh-agent automatically Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 17:56:21 -0500 Hi, I yesterday installed a bare minimum Cygwin (via internet) on to a laptop running Windows XP. The purpose of the Cygwin installation is to backup data on to a Linux computer using rsync and ssh. I was wondering, to allow for passwordless login via ssh I have to run ssh-agent and ssh-add commands. I have put ssh-agent in .bashrc in Cygwin user's home and kill $SSH_AGENT_PID in .bash_logout. But how do I deal with ssh-add? In other words, what do I need to do so that a user doesn't need to do ssh-add each time he logins into his account in Windows XP (ssh-agent and ssh-add run automatically)? There is no X server installed, no Gnome, no KDM, no fvwm.

Re: how to make ssh-agent automatically
Hi H.S Using keychain is only one way, it is not the only way. I no longer use keychain. I launch ssh-agent from a bash script that is run as a service from cygrunsrv; it is run as the user, not as SYSTEM. This makes the ssh-agent process survive Windows logout; I only have to enter a passphrase after reboot. The bash script edits the user registry to define the environment variable for the ssh-agent socket. It sends a message that the environment has been updated and then waits on a sleeping child to keep the service control manager happy. The script looks like $ cat /bin/secret-agent-service #!/bin/bash # Launch the ssh-agent from a service so it survives logoff. # When the service stops, kill the ssh-agent. trap ssh-agent -k; exit 0 TERM # Clean up old files that may be left behind after a crash. # The file permissions make this safe to do in a multi-user # environment, but /tmp must be local to this host. rm -rf /tmp/ssh-* # Launch the ssh-agent. eval $(ssh-agent) # Provide the ssh-agent socket ID via the registry and broadcast # the change in case the user is logged before we finish. # Do not provide the ssh-agent PID to minimize the risk of # killing the ssh-agent. regtool -s set /HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment/SSH_AUTH_SOCK $SSH_AUTH_SOCK sendchenv # Wait quietly until the service is stopped. while true; do sleep 24h wait done In my .bash_profile I have ssh-add -l /dev/null 21 if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then ssh-add fi which checks if the agent is there and needs a passphrase, and if so, invokes ssh-add and I enter my passphrase. I will look at the new cygrunsrv changes and see if I can simplify things and then propose a package. This saves almost one second of CPU time when I start a bash window, compared to using keychain (also launched as a service). HTH, ...Karl From: H.S.

zone alarm service depency problem with sshd
Hi, I am trying to have sshd running on my Windows XP box. I have Zone Alarm installed, ver. 6.0.667. I configured sshd with: $ ssh-host-config and started as a service: $ cygrunsrv -S sshd which promptly made Zone Alarm to ask if sshd should be allowed internet access. I allowed it's client as well as server access. And it worked from my other LAN PCs. But then I noticed that after I rebooted the Windows XP box, I could no longer ssh to it from another computer even though the sshd service was running. Zone Alarm was blocking it. I had restart sshd service to make Zone Alarm ware to allow access to/from it. A little google search resulted in making Zone Alarm service a dependency of sshd. So: 1. I removed sshd service using cygrunsrv -R sshd 2. I installed it again by making Zone Alarm service as it's dependency: $ cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -f Cygwin SSH Demon -y zlclient.exe 4. I rebooted the machine, but still couldn't connect to it via ssh. I noticed that sshd was not running! 3. So I restarted the service. But I get this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cygrunsrv -S sshd cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion. I tried chaning the name of the dependency service to zlclient but that did not make any difference.
