[OT]: Thank You, cygwin, and Good Bye!
Hallo ! After more than three years on this valuable list, I like to say Thank you! to all the Cygwin Developers and to the whole community. Cygwin saved me a lot of trouble in the past three years, and I am really glad there is such a nearly complete Unix-Emulation-Layer for Windows. I realy enjoed using cygwin, and I have had a realy good time on this list. However, ever thing has its own time. Last august I moved on to a new location, fortunately a windows-free zone :-) , so I no longer need cygwin, and - as I learned in between - I don't have the spare time to follow this great piece of software any longer. In addition, the mail-account I am subscribed with, will be delete on 31-Jan-2004 Having said all that, I like to say Good Bye to the list and the cygwin-community. I wish you all a great and powerfull future! If anybody wants to contact we, I am reachable at: - Office : [EMAIL PROTECTED] (until summer 2005 at least) - Private: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (until my own funeral, I supose :-) ) Thank you all Bjoern Kahl -- +-+ | Dipl.-Phys.

Re: Losing data with routine cp and mv -- cannot create hard link
Hallo! I do not know what is going on really, but I have seen something like that before. On Thu, 16 Jan 2003, Thomas Baker wrote: If cp and mv are not reliably copying all of the contents of an (apparently) normal directory tree with 89,000 normal data files, of 1.4 GB total size, using WIN2000 and NTFS, is it most likely due to inherent size limits of cygwin? wild guessing mode There seems to be a random delay in the NT-Filesystem when renaming files. This can be easily triggert on smb-shares, but also on normal drives. If renaming (that is: moving around) files, there is a short, load-dependend delay between removing the old direktory entry and creating the new one. This can even be observed in the windows explorer, and I *think* that is not a slow-gui-issue, but the file is *really* *not* *there* form some time. /wild guessing mode So dont think there is any thing cygwin can do. If the problems are due to inherent limits, then I can adjust by copying such big directories in smaller chunks, as I have already done successfully. I just want to make sure that this is in fact the problem. If I move/copy some files over the net, I add sleep instructions (for i in * ; do mv $i $i.bak ; sleep 1 ; sed $i.bak $i ... ; done) slow, but works. On *my* system, the magic number is around 50 files. Less than 50 files works without sleep, more files require the sleep. (Else I get a lot random No such file xxx.bak.) Bjoern -- +-+ | Dipl.-Phys.

That way, you should be allowed to open GUI apps, access network shares, etc. Note that setting Allow service to interact with desktop will *not* allow you to see the remote applications windows on your local maschine. It just says, the windows will pop up in front of what ever is on the screen of the remote maschine, regardless who is currently logged in to that maschine (logged in using traditional windows method, e.g. local screen and keyboard). If someone is localy working on your remote maschine, you may get strange results, mixing that users actions with your recorded macros. Bad idea. Bjoern -- +-+ | Dipl.-Phys.

Since fetchmail is invoking procmail without the -m option, procmail is looking for $HOME/.procmailrc. My WAG is that procmail can't find your .procmailrc file. Hence, procmail defaults to sending all messages to /var/spool/mail/tbaker without any logging. Note that recent posts indicate an incorrect tbaker /etc/passwd entry. That's it!!! Bjoern suggested I map /home/tbaker to /cygdrive/e with mount. Would this allow me to delete the redundant copy /home/tbaker/.procmailrc and just use /cygdrive/e/.procmailrc? Would this mount command go into my .bash_profile? (Any particular flags to use?) It depends :-) I would suggest to run the mount-command only once in a bash using the -s switch to the mount command. That way, /cygdrive/e will be your cygwin-home dir (*not* install-dir, just *your* (t.baker's) home-dir (if you are not familiar with unix in general, I suggest to read a good introduction to any unix or linux)) for all applications and all time. With such a mounted hoem, you can delete the redundant copy. (delete it before you create the mount.) mounts using -s are stored in the registry, so they survive reboots. As a hint: mount -s -b 'e:\' /home/tbaker should work. Please note the single-quotes, which prevent the shell from playing games with the backslash. The -b forces a binary mount. That stops cygwin from doing crlf - lf translations. It is somewhat a mater of taste to use -b or not. Have fun! Bjoern Kahl -- +-+ | Dipl.-Phys.

Re: Login command
Hallo ! This has been discussed some time ago, but anyway: On Tue, 1 Oct 2002, valcauda Stéphane wrote: When I try login command with any of my windows NT account / password, it doesn't work. even after MkPasswd. Is it a problem of passwd or something else ? I read the FAQ on SU problem, but I don't find answers to solve this login problem. If there is no SU, then Login cant work either, because both, SU and login, do basicly the same thing: They create a (unprivileged) session, comeing from an privileged execution-environment (typical root on unix-systems) by setting usercontext (using there root-privileges to do so). One difference between SU and Login is, that Login is run by a root-process (init) and SU carries the root-privileges in its file-attributes (the s-bit). Under NT, there is no such thing like a s-bit (s == (S)et User). That is, why SU does not work. The SU-binary cant get root-privilegies (under NT: == running as SYSTEM) Same for Login on the command-line: Only SYSTEM under NT (or root under unix) may change user-context. A Login invoked on the command-line does not run as SYSTEM (under NT), therefor cant change usercontext. In short: If you have to login to different accounts, setup ssh, running the sshd under SYSTEM (the only account, that *can* change usercontext) and login to your box via ssh (ssh someuser@localhost). See the ssh-documentation under /usr/doc/Cygwin in your Cygwin-installation for deatils on ssh.

Re: Succesful installation but not working (CYGWIN)
Hallo ! On Wed, 16 Jan 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for that - I see the problem now - the varaible HOME is not correct: HOME = `u:\tmp1\cygwin' No, that not the root of your problem. Cygwin is *not* supposed to store Windows-style path anywhere. in fact CYGWIN is installed as 'c:\cygwin'. Where is this variable HOME defined so I can change it ? AFAIK: The shell extracts $HOME from /etc/passwd, and /etc/profile sets it, if for some reason $HOME is empty at the time the shell executes /etc/profile. But again, for my understanding, something fundamental is wrong with your setup. As I told you last time: try cygcheck -s -r and cut paste its report to the list (in case you have not done already). And : *Please* *send* *to* *the* *list*, **not** to me ! ! Bjoern -- +-+ | Dipl.-Phys.

Re: Succesful installation but not working (CYGWIN)
Hallo ! On Thu, 17 Jan 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am having problems with cygwin. The installation went fine but /etc/profile is not sourced, there is no / directory and no extension to $PATH. Here is the output from cygcheck -s -r. Ok. I see that the value of HOME is incorrect. Any ideas anyone or should just delete c:\cygwin and start again ? Many thanks in advance. Delete all registry-entries referring to cygnus solutions (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions) they are inconsistent. Looks like you once installed Cygwin (may be as administrator) in one place (C:/cygwin) and once in u:\tmp1\cygwin\ without first removing the other one (from registry). Then install again. Other approach: correct the registry settings by hand - if you know what you are doing.

(that is: restore the system to exactly the same state before installing / runing your program) and (IMHO) better put the program on a www or ftp page and tell us where to find it. include a md5sum in your post.

Re: A Second OpenSSH Path Question
Hallo! On Mon, 17 Dec 2001, Karl M wrote: I have a vanilla install on a Win2k, SP2 machine. If I type ssh localhost which find I get the one in /c/WINNT/System32 If I type ssh localhost and then type which find in the new session, I get the one in /usr/bin So again, why do the two methods produce different results? Because your first example do not run a login-shell and therefor do not run login-scripts ? sshd executes the given command without first starting a shell. (try ssh localhost ps -el and look for the parent process of ps) (If you run a script via ssh, then that script will be executet by a shell given in the first line of the script. But such a shell will never execute profile or any other loginscript (reading these files would break the original script).) man sshd suggested to try the $HOME/.ssh/sshrc or .../environment file to setup ssh-environment.
