The idea is that ssh will tunnel the X connection through itself (thus localhost) and it uses a configurable display number (the 10.0). The reason it works from some computers and not from others is that even if the X server exists at myipaddress:0.0 it could be blocked by any firewall between computers; the ssh tunnel is the way to avoid being blocked.

P.S. -- Here's my script. I call it cattrib (I'm posting via gmane,

You could probably make this even more transparent by dropping a symlink
'attrib' to this somewhere high in $PATH (or renaming it, but the
symlink lets 'cattrib' force calling the script even if the Windows
'attrib' is higher in PATH) and having the script call 'attrib.exe'
(which won't pick up the script).
Also, if you want it to be *really* transparent, you should be 'cut -c
12-'ing the output of attrib and then appending the original arg before
its trip through cygpath, otherwise you potentially mangle things due to
symlinks, mount points, etc.
i.e. something like this:
echo $(attrib.exe $(cygpath -w ${arg}) | cut -c 12-)${arg}
Yep. These are all good suggestions. The script as written was rightfully
named a hack because it wasn't robust in the ways you're suggesting.
The only thing I disagree with is symlinking it to attrib, since this
might cause confusion to users other than me who expect that program to
work in the Windows-specific manner. If I want the attrib name, I'd
rather just make that a bash or zsh alias.
Thank you very much.

Any plans to incorporate UTF-8 support into Cygwin?
There's already a patch that purports to be fairly complete, which modifies Cygwin so that its paths are UTF-8: http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/ It's extremely annoying now that Cygwin cannot reliably work with file names containing non-ASCII non-Latin1 characters (and even with Latin-1 chars it may be touch and go). NOTE: Such filenames come up a lot for me, even though I'm a native US speaker. Stuff downloaded using P2P may often have foreign words in it or foreign notations in brackets, music tracks from foreign bands often have foreign characters in the filenames, etc. If a directory has a foreign-named file anywhere in it, both cp -a and tar-cp will fail to copy the directory properly, mangling the filenames in the process. Any plans to incorporate this fix into mainline Cygwin? I'd rank it pretty high priority, and it shouldn't be too hard to do. ben -- 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/

free NFS client for Cygwin and/or support for FUSE?
Is there a free NFS client anyone can recommend that works will with Cygwin? Also, has anyone considered building something like FUSE into Cygwin? FUSE is a package for creating user-mode filesystems in Linux. It requires a certain amount of kernel support; but I can't see how it would be difficult to adapt for Cygwin. That, in turn, would allow all sorts of nice file systems to be added -- e.g. the sshfs, which allows you to mount a remote ssh connection as a file system; CVSFS, which shows the different revisions of CVS repositories as different files, somewhat ala ClearCase; WikipediaFS, for mounting Wikipedia as a file system (easier to change than going through the normal interface); archivemount (mounting tar, cpio, etc. archives as directories); etc. The result would be Cygwin-specific, i.e. wouldn't work in non-Cygwin utilities, but that's OK; the benefit of having such a system would be so great that it would vastly outdo the trouble of not being able to use non-Cygwin utils. ben -- 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/

The result would be Cygwin-specific, i.e. wouldn't work in non-Cygwin utilities, but that's OK; the benefit of having such a system would be so great that it would vastly outdo the trouble of not being able to use non-Cygwin utils. No doubt that many have *considered* it, but nobody has done it (to my knowledge at least.) If you do it right and make it a real filesystem driver, then you both need the expertise and time to code and test a NT kernel module, and you have to deal with the posix-to-Windows path+permissions+ownership translation headaches (i.e. the polar opposite of what cygwin1.dll deals with now) since it will be visible to all Windows apps. Both of these put it vastly outside the scope of the Cygwin project, which is just a regular user-mode library. If you do it entirely in Cygwin then as you said it's only available to Cygwin apps, which sounds fine at first but I think you will find that for many people this is a dealbreaker. And in order to get any patches of this kind accepted by Cygwin maintainers you'd need to show clear evidence that the presence of all this extra code did not affect performance of the standard filesystem access and path translation. That part of the code tends to be somewhat of a sore spot, due to the fact that it is already complex and easy to break, and a critical path performance-wise.

Mapping of \device\harddisk12 and beyond
We are currently using Cygwin to test an iSCSI based storage subsystem. Recently we are discussing about a test that will be connecting to 32 iSCSI volumes, effectively creating a total of 33 (32 + 1 direct attached disk) harddisk references in Windows. In reviewing the current POSIX mapping, we realized from http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#id4676548 that Cygwin only maps up to /dev/sd1 = \device\harddisk11. Question 1: Is that the maximum number of \device\harddisk reference that Cygwin supports? Question 2: If not what is the the maximum? Question 3: Is there anyway within Cygwin that I can mount the other \device\harddisk references beyond the limitation? Thank you in advance for your help.

Bash 3.1.9 and 3.2.4: igncr setting not effective for 'source'd files
Unfortunately I have to report that both versions of bash don't implement the igncr setting if commands are read from a sourced file. For example, I have /etc/profile set up to issue shopt -s igncr # as the first line (or set -o igncr; export SHELLOPTS # for version 3.2.4) If I do unix2dos /etc/profile the command source /etc/profile produces a series of error messages, indicating that cr characters are not being ignored. If I issue the file as a script, e.g. bash /etc/profile there are no errors. -- 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/

Cygwin currently supports up to 26 hard disks, from /dev/sda to /dev/sdz, corrsponding to \Device\Harddisk0 through \Device\Harddisk25. Question 2: If not what is the the maximum? Up to you if you modify the sources. As many as windows can support. Question 3: Is there anyway within Cygwin that I can mount the other \device\harddisk references beyond the limitation? You can modify src/winsup/cygwin/devices.in to add as many more /dev entries as you like. Take a look at devices.in and compare it to devices.cc (which is auto-generated from devices.in during the build). It won't be quite so straightforward since all the letters are already used up, but you can adapt whatever scheme you like for your own in-house testing tool. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

The result would be Cygwin-specific, i.e. wouldn't work in non-Cygwin utilities, but that's OK; the benefit of having such a system would be so great that it would vastly outdo the trouble of not being able to use non-Cygwin utils. No doubt that many have *considered* it, but nobody has done it (to my knowledge at least.) If you do it right and make it a real filesystem driver, then you both need the expertise and time to code and test a NT kernel module, Yes, of course. Goes without saying really. and you have to deal with the posix-to-Windows path+permissions+ownership translation headaches (i.e. the polar opposite of what cygwin1.dll deals with now) since it will be visible to all Windows apps. Both of these put it vastly outside the scope of the Cygwin project, which is just a regular user-mode library. No, neither of these do (put it vastly...), AFAICS. ioperm already includes a kernel-mode driver. As for the posix-windows translation, I don't see how you have to do any such thing at all (nor how posix-windows is the 'opposite' to what cygwin does...); surely you simply make the thing look just like a windows filesystem to cygwin, and then let the cygwin dll provide the posix API support. Pretty much the same as how things currently work with FAT and NTFS access under cygwin... If you do it entirely in Cygwin then as you said it's only available to Cygwin apps, which sounds fine at first but I think you will find that for many people this is a dealbreaker. Well, all posix features are only available to cygwin apps. I don't understand what kind of people this could be a dealbreaker to: non-cygwin users perhaps? This is no more of an objection than saying that grep's dependency on cygwin might be a dealbreaker to some people And in order to get any patches of this kind accepted by Cygwin maintainers you'd need to show clear evidence that the presence of all this extra code did not affect performance of the standard filesystem access and path translation. That part of the code tends to be somewhat of a sore spot, due to the fact that it is already complex and easy to break, and a critical path performance-wise. I think you worry too much. The kernel-mode driver would be nicely isolated, and we'd just need to add a new fhandler type to interact with it; the extra code wouldn't ever be called if not used. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/
