When you say "I added wess to the group ssh_allow" you mean in Windows? in
/etc/groups? in both?

Have you tried the option "AllowUsers"?

Both.

ssh_allow is in /etc/groups 
wess is in local groups (windows)

No, but in the morning I will try it since AllowGroups is bombing on

This dialog appears:

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."

Confirming the dialog results in another one. There is no end to this cycle.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete is unresponsive at this time, though Windows continues to
function. Any attempt to shutdown Windows will hang.

The attempt to close the shell will hang that window.

Yes.
The resource functions are only available on windows.
  See e.g. Corman Tools\Corman Lisp 2.01\Libraries\acad\clarx.cpp

the problems with this is that the "data" that is being appended is not
known at link time and appending it may not require C tools (ld/gcc &c).

They are distributing the DLL without sources; that's a violation of the GPL.
They could only get an exemption using the Red Hat buy-out license option but
based on dll-files site disclaimer 
I would be very surprised to find out they have such a license.

Then your options seems to have shrunk to a "launcher" that basicly does

  system("lisp.exe -M lispinit.mem")

Can you elaborate on _why_ the "single executable" is so important?

Having a monolithic application exe is hardly doable in most cases, AFAICS.
Unless you defer from using ANY external resources.

It is not important to _me_, but this is a recurring request by lisp
newbies who ask something like "how do I create an executable from my
lisp application, similar to C and C++?"

Re: Hope this topic isn't taboo yet

[Brett Serkez]

I've not seen any particular difference using Cygwin between
hyper-threaded and non-hyper-threaded CPUs.  I have seen issues with
bash and sshd consuming 100% CPU for periods of time on both, which may
or may not be related to ZoneAlarm.

You can better identify the specific process by starting the task
manager, and looking at the 'Processes' tab.  I usually add the 'CPU
Time' column via 'View -> Select Columns', so I can sort on it and see
which processes are consuming allot of CPU over time and sort on the CPU
column when looking while the problem is occuring to see which process
is consuming allot of CPU in real-time.

On the ZoneLabs message boards I found references to use of tcsh in
place of bash, that seems to work around the problem as follows:

- Run setup and select tcsh from shells

- Modify /etc/passwd and change /bin/bash to /bin/tcsh for all
appropriate users

- Modify c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat and change 'bash --login' to 'tcsh -l'

- Modify individual scripts, as appropriate, and change the she-bang
line to: #!/bin/tcsh.

This is an imperfect solution, but I've seen a noticable performance
improvement as well as elimination of the CPU spikes.

If you also run the secure shell daemon (sshd), before running
ssh-host-config, modify it by locating '-a -D' and change to '-a "-D
-r"' in two places.  Adding the -r, which is applied to the -a which is
why the double quotes are needed, turns off an extra fork/exec that
theoretically makes sshd more secure but also causes the CPU spike.  If
you've already installed sshd as a service, you'll need to stop it and
delete it before making these changes.

It is my intuition that both issues revolve around process creation and
security software examination of these events, looking for viruses and
other threats.

 Ahh... Well.
 I wonder, would it not be possible to extract portions of code from
"lisp.exe" above (looking for the "-M" option - assuming you have access to
the source, GPL?), such that the code does what you're asking for - given
some tweaking.
 That combined with the linker object thingies discussed earlier -> Voilá.
Maybe add some "automatic" scripting and you're finally "home".

libxslt v apache

[Siegfried Heintze]

Has anyone used both libxslt and xalan? How might one decide between xalan
and libxslt?

Thanks,
Siegfried

Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: libxslt-1.1.15-2

Libxslt has been updated to version 1.1.15-2


NEWS

- Update to latest upstream release
- Included bugfix for bug #316861 (problems parsing DocBook FO
  stylesheet): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316861
  

Please read the news since the previous Cygwin release (1.1.14) here:
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/news.html


DESCRIPTION
===
Libxslt is the XSLT C library developed for the Gnome project. XSLT
itself is a an XML language to define transformation for XML. Libxslt
is based on libxml2 the XML C library developed for the Gnome project.
It also implements most of the EXSLT set of processor-portable
extensions functions and some of Saxon's evaluate and expressions
extensions.


UPDATE
==
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.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'libxslt' from the 'Libs' category, if you install it for the first
time, click on the 'skip' field next to 'libxslt' until '1.1.15-2' is
displayed.


DOWNLOAD:
=
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to

cygwin NFS File servers on windows?

[Siegfried Heintze]

I was looking for a windows based nfs file server. I googled and found
http://opensource.franz.com/nfs/. Does anyone have any experience with this
or other opensource nfs file servers? There are others for only $40.

Does cygwin include  nfs file server? I don't remember ever seeing one. It
seems that this would be a logical piece of software to be included with
cygwin.

Thanks,
Siegfried

If cygwin did have an nfs file server then it would be (and is) listed
at http://cygwin.com/packages/ .

If cygwin did not have an nfs file server then discussion of non-cygwin
nfs file servers would really not be fodder for this mailing list.
