Cygwin & MingW: Ressources of sh.exe arent freed after running

2008-06-15 Thread Chris 

I just tumpled over a problem with MingW and Cygwin.

I tried to compile a new version of gcc and got an error that was saying 
me that no more processes can be started. So I looked into the 
taskmanager and saw that I had too high PIDs (>260.000) and that my RAM 
was full and also the pagefile.


Then I made a restart and tried a configure and saw that the RAM was 
going down and the PIDs were growing up as were the pagefile.


The same thing happend when I compiled Bochs. So the ressources gcc used 
ared freed, too (I think so).

This topic has come up numerous times in the past.  See the archives.  At one 
time even I thought there was a Cygwin problem being discovered here.  I was 
wrong.  In my case, and in the case of most (all?) other folks seeing this, the 
real problem was BLODA.
See  for more.

(Was that two separate copies of 'cygcheck' output?  Please *attach* just one

Run the service as your user so it can use your keys :

  -u, --user Optional user name to start service as.
Defaults to SYSTEM account.
  -w, --passwdOptional password for user. Only needed
if a user is given. If a user has an empty
password, enter `-w '. If a user is given but
no password, cygrunsrv will ask for a password
interactively.

User means Windows user, not root.

Actually there is another way to do the same, instead of running the 
service as your Windows user (the one that has ~/.ssh/), you 
can pass the -i /path/to/your/home/.ssh/id_dsa (or id_rsa) to ssh.


Snippet from man ssh:

 -i identity_file
 Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for 
RSA or
 DSA authentication is read.  The default is 
~/.ssh/identity for
 protocol version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa 
for pro-
 tocol version 2.  Identity files may also be specified on 
a per-

 host basis in the configuration file.  It is possible to have
 multiple -i options (and multiple identities specified in 
config-

 uration files).

The message in english:

The service did not start due to a logon failure.

Sorry I didn't realize your user name is "root", seems that cygrunsrv is 
not able to change users which is a Windows capability option.


You can use the other alternative (ssh -i ...) or add the required 
rights or capabilities, or use stunnel instead of ssh.

Cygrunsrv does not require the ability to change users as sshd does. 
The service is configured to run as a given user in the service control
manager, and cygrunsrv is simply setting those options in the registry. 
This works fully.

I still think you were right in that the OP was incorrectly using their
ssh username/password when they should be using their Windows username
and password.

Oh, and on the topic of automatically setting up ssh port forwarding as
a service: OP should definitely use autossh.  This will keep the
connection alive if it drops, automatically restarting it as necessary. 
Otherwise, the first time it dies the service will stop and the user
must manually restart it again.

I've been doing this (autossh port forwarding) for years and it's
fantastically convenient.

Ok, then, nevermind.  I can confirm that the sequence numbers don't
seem to be available from windows ping.  Oh well.

Fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

2008-06-15 Thread Adam Thompson 
Dear all,

We have several sshd installations based on Cygwin, running on Server
2003 SP1 (and also SP2).

Over the last 12 months or so, there seems to have been a lot of
problems with sshd - the eventlogs cite a fork: resource temporarily
unavailable - error.

I've checked the obvious (ie port 22/tcp isn't already bound
elsewhere, ran filemon/regmon) but failed to find the reason.  Is
there a way of logging _which_ resource is temporarily (or rather,
persistently) unavailable?

There seems to be a higher occurrence of this issue on Citrix PS
4.0/4.5 presentation servers, but after ruling out various memory and
cpu optimisations (eg DLL rebasing - I've tried the rebaseall script
and confirmed that none of the sshd or cygrunsrv dependencies have
been touched by Citrix MPS), I can't pin it down to a specific patch
level or configuration.

I've seen various other threads relating to this issue, but no
solution.  I'd like to find the solution, but I seem to be missing
some vital pieces of the puzzle.

I have a nasty feeling this is going to involve learning a bit more
about understanding the drwtsn32.exe crashdumps (manually attaching
the debugger, as crashdumps aren't a symptom of this issue).

Thanks in advance - for any pointers/hints,
