It appears to have successfully finished the checksum and provide a list of packages, but never enables the Next button. I'm trying to install locally via UNC path which is a share in case that makes a difference.

Re: Limitation in SCP?
I suppose it could be related to the XP piping problem, but I only have NT and W2K. All I can really say is that it never happens (to me, anyway) on NT. It certainly sounds like what others have described on XP. The transfer that fails is a pull whether I'm using scp (which fails) or the tar-to-tar method (which doesn't). It kind of has to be that way, too, because I can't be sure that sshd will always be running on the destination end to support a push mode of operation. -- GPG public key [EMAIL PROTECTED] available from public key server network or from www.blorch.org/bob Fingerprint BA4A 552C BE3D 8C40 ED76 F372 DF9E 320D 37FA 16AC -- 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/
Re: Limitation in SCP?
I haven't yet had an opportunity to try 1.5.12, and it may be a while (just because I'm responsible for keeping the databases on these machines running doesn't mean I get regular access to them...) but I'll keep that in mind next time I get a shot at them. I'd really like to blame Winduhs networking or the drivers for these particular NICs with this particular version of W2K, but then why would tar and cat work any better than scp? Shrug. I have a couple of viable workarounds, so it's primarily a matter of idle curiosity for me at this point. -- GPG public key [EMAIL PROTECTED] available from public key server network or from www.blorch.org/bob Fingerprint BA4A 552C BE3D 8C40 ED76 F372 DF9E 320D 37FA 16AC -- 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/
Limitation in SCP?
I've discovered that in some circumstances, scp seems to get tired early when transferring a largish file (around 200MB). It copies diligently for the first 20-40MB (exactly where it stops varies from run to run), then CPU usage drops to zero, the file stops growing on the receiving end, there's no apparent network traffic, and everything just pretty much halts. A ps shows the scp task running, but not doing anything. I've only seen this when copying between two W2K machines (both Cygwin, both using the Cygwin SSH package, both of pretty recent vintage with DLL 1.5.11). I did my development testing between Linux and NT, and I never saw this behavior in that environment. It always fails with the W2K machines. I also never see this happen with tar. If I do a tar-to-tar pipe via SSH, everything works even in the W2K-to-W2K environment. However, I'd like to understand why I can't use scp for this. -- GPG public key [EMAIL PROTECTED] available from public key server network or from www.blorch.org/bob Fingerprint BA4A 552C BE3D 8C40 ED76 F372 DF9E 320D 37FA 16AC -- 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 FIFO does not see EOF (NT4sp6, DLL 1.5.11)
It appears to me that pipe (FIFO) readers don't get the same indication of EOF in Cygwin that they do in Linux. The following Korn script works as I think it should with Linux: at startup it shows that the FIFO doesn't exist and there's no cat running; then it prints the test text; then it shows that the FIFO and the cat go away. With Cygwin, the cat never finishes, even though nobody has the pipe open for writing. Experimentation by running the echo and cat manually (in separate shells and windows) lead me to think that the cat simply never sees EOF on the pipe. There are no error messages, but the cat doesn't terminate. I've tried this on Samba-mounted ext2 drives and local (native NTFS) drives in the Cygwin environment but it always behaves the same way (i.e., I think it's unlikely to be Samba- or NFS-related). A cygcheck log is attached. To see the phenomenon: -- #!/bin/ksh ls -l fifo ps mkfifo fifo echo 'Text sent via pipe' fifo sleep 30 cat fifo ls -l fifo rm fifo ls -l fifo ps -- -- GPG public key [EMAIL PROTECTED] available from public key server network or from www.blorch.org/bob Fingerprint BA4A 552C BE3D 8C40 ED76 F372 DF9E 320D 37FA 16AC -- 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 setup 2.427 on Win2K
I originally reported that setup.exe would let me choose packages to install, but the next button was always disabled so I couldn't actually install anything. One suggestion I received was to run setup.exe with the -5 command-line option (suppress MD5 verification). I finally got a chance to try that, and it worked. I could choose packages, and the next button was enabled so I could go ahead and complete the installation. I don't understand why this is necessary--when I let it do the MD5 verification, there are no errors that I can see--but hopefully this will serve as a hint that eventually leads to finding the real problem.

Cygwin setup 2.427 on Win2K
I'm trying to run the Cygwin installer on W2K/SP4 (local install) and it lets me get as far as the screen where I select the packages I want...but the NEXT button is inactive, so I can't actually complete anything. All I can do at that point is CANCEL. The system appears to be running Norton Internet Security. We tried turning that off but it didn't seem to make any difference. After the installer exits, the log shows that it verified all the MD5 values, and d:\cygwin\var\log has two files (setup.log and setup.log.full) in it. D:\cygwin\etc\setup has a file last-action that says Install and last-cache that lists the (correct) directory where the package archives reside. The registry entries for the standard mounts (/, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib) have been created. Why does the installer fail to enable the NEXT button?

file event in perl-Tk on cygwin (using POE)
POE + perl-tk is a really nice environment for
writing event driven programs. It works fine on
linux [though the debugging info is not always
all you would wish for].
I want to write a portable program, and I'm trying
to get it to work under cygwin. It goes into an
infinite loop in IO.pm, specifically:
perl5\site_perl\5.8.0\cygwin-multi-64int\Tk\Event\IO.pm.
What happens there is that a sub FILENO:
sub FILENO
{
my $obj = shift;
my $h = $obj-handle;
return fileno($h);
}
the final call to fileno actually goes straight
back into FILENO. [I tried putting CORE:: in front
but that made no difference]. So it looks like
$obj-handle returns $obj instead of something
more basic. I've tried both win32 and x11 versions
of Tk800.023-1 which seems to be the last cygwin
compatible version.
Presumably it is a cygwin problem, but I'm happy
to entertain perl-Tk or POE workarounds. Or I'll
have to try to fix it [otherwise the Java proponents
will say I told you so].
The file handle is almost certainly stdout or stderr
of a child program (run using POE::Wheel::Run).
So I guess my questions are:
1. Will I do better with other versions of cygwin,
perl, perl-Tk, POE?
2. Any suggestions for fixes?
3. Any suggestions for workarounds?
4. Any suggestions for where to look to try to fix it?

krb5-1.2.8 on cygwin + kerberized ssh
I have made a bit of progress since I compiled krb5-1.2.6. ./configure --with-cc=gcc --without-krb4 --disable-dns-for-kdc It would be nice if there was an option to just compile client stuff. The resolv library problem went away. I don't know if that was a change to krb5 or to cygwin. Bison problems also went away. Still need to add #include errno.h to src/util/ss/ss_internal.h, otherwise the linker gives _errno errors. I didn't have libutil installed when I did the configure and I found I needed to add -lutil to the link of login.krb5 in src/appl/bsd. After that everything seemed to work (against an AD KDC). I tried kinit, klist and telnet -a. It seemed to create the file in /tmp with appropriate NTFS security restrictions. Next I successfully compiled kerberized ssh. Now I can ssh without mucking with ssh keys everywhere. It would also be nice if openssh had an option for only compiling client stuff. Now I only need to integrate ms2mit and I'll be in SSO heaven [naturally ms2mit doesn't put the mit tgt in the right place for cygwin] I suspect that the client parts of krb5 and openssh don't require all that cygwin heavy lifting and could be compiled with mingw with a bit of effort. Given that kerberos is a unifying feature linking windows and unix it would be nice to see kerberos and kerberized apps in cygwin.
