RE: identical scripts don't behave identically
I'll bet one has a carriage return ( and/or line feed) and the other doesn't which would fail on an incomplete last line. I've been burned by this many times. Always end the script by hitting the enter to avoid this. -Original Message- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Thrall, Bryan Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 3:19 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: RE: identical scripts don't behave identically roc97007 wrote on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 5:11 PM: To summarize, as far as I can tell the files are identical, but one works and the other can't seem to find the current directory. If, in the broken script, I substitute any command that needs to read or write to or from the file system, it will always fail with file not found or no such file or directory. The other script with the exact same commands (assuming they are legal and reasonable) will always work. Obviously there is a difference between the files. I can't figure out what it is. The issue is demonstrably a characteristic of the file, because if I delete or rename aaa.sh and then cp aab.sh aaa.sh, then they will both work. This is driving me crazy. We are under a deadline, and some scripts work and some do not, seemingly randomly. Our current work-around is to copy a script that works to a different name and then replace the content. This is a ridiculous workaround, and since we don't know what the mechanism is we have no idea if it'll still work tomorrow or next week. Please help!

Magnetic tape tools
I found a need to read Tar Archives from a LTO 4 tape and only had a Vista Box to do it. After messing around with SFU, gnu-tar etc I installed Cygwin and As expected, was able to mt to filemark 117 and begin extraction (/dev/nst0). Which was better than I could do with any other tool, the Problem is that it was excruciatingly slow. It took over an hour to get to filemark 116 and all night to extract 6500 files. Much slower than on My Linux boxes ( which are not an option in this case). I haven't had to deal with MT in a long time, is there a way to speed this up? Could I Might it be faster to dd the whole (TByte) tape and untar later? Are there any other tools I should concider?

RE: How to make GraphicsMagick ('gm.exe') work? and 'cygdpstk-1.dll'
The newest Cygwin clearly does NOT include this file.
I have lots of machines here with lots of different version of cygwin.
The date of the file I used is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/X11R6/bin ls -al | grep cygdp
-rwxr-x--- 1 dobrin Domain Users 248320 Jul 20 2006 cygdps-1.dll
-rwxr-x--- 1 dobrin Domain Users 26112 Jul 20 2006 cygdpstk-1.dll
( I copied both of these files over as I assumed that they were
related)
I have a machine that still 1.5.18 on it and it has an earlier dated
version of these files from 2005, but the same file size as the one I
used. My upgrade history is .18 to .21 to .24 to .25 so the file I used
was most likely from .21 or .24. Again. I'm not a the maintainer and
have no idea what the lib is for (though I suspect it is an adobe
Postscript display lib) or which of the many x11 packages included it.
/usr/X11R6/bin should be in your path via the $PATH variable. I keep a
personal non-system directory in my path via the $PATH variable so that
I can move files and libs onto my machine for testing without risking
overwriting system installed files. This is where I put these libs and
why I suggested that you could put them anywhere that was in the path.
I have access to hundreds of machines and I keep my own
auto-install/autoupdate builds of cygwin going back a few versions so I
personally have these files handy, but I don't know where on the wide
wonderful web to get them.
I Hope this workaround helps, but Ideally, the maintainer will note
this thread and take action.

Update apparently not current
Hi, I just tried to update from 1.5.25-7 to 1.5.25-11 using the installer pointed at http\\:mirrors.kernel.org and although it did upgrade some things ( at least it copied and over-wrote stuff), I still ended up with the 1.5.25-7 cygwin1.dll (which is what setup downloaded). I'm trying to solve some of the issues I'm having on Vista with X, mplayer and rcmd-related programs (some of the most important cygwin stuff for me). I know that a recent snapshot solved some of this and was hoping that the new official version would contain some or all of these fixes. Has the cygwin1 been reverted to -7? Are these fixes in the -11? Am I crazy (don't answer that)?

RE: Update apparently not current
No, nothing like that. And the package that was downloaded by the setup installer was wrong: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/c/temp/cyg1.5.25/http%3a%2f%2fsources-redhat.mirror.redwire .net%2fcygwin/release/cygwin ls cygwin-1.5.25-7.tar.bz2 So I guess I'll just try it again from a different download point, perhaps my web cache isn't flushing correctly, though I find it hard to believe that that old a version would still be there. I have had a recent issue with my facility 1.5.25-7 remote/auto installer failing on the shell script portion because of an improper version of cygwin1.dll. This problem is solved if I rename cygwin1.dll to something else and then rename it back to cygwin1.dll.

RE: Customize setup program. Autoinstall
Because I keep seeing this, and because at least once a year I have to fight through the disparate and confusing documentations and various mail logs. Here is how I use setup for unattended FULL and custom installs, with examples: The key command you are looking for looks something like this: c:\temp\remcyg1.5.24\setup -d -L -l c:\temp\remcyg1.5.24 -q -r -R c:\cygwin The summary of this is: -d no desktop icons added, -L Local Install, -l path to install root, -q quite (it's not very quite, but what can you do?) -r don't replace files after reboot ( I had problems long ago with this, but have forgotten what they are), -R Where you want it to go. You might also want to customize the install. It's ugly, but to do this you: 1: DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING (nothing is more painful than missing an unanticipated package dependency on an automated install )(it's easier to remove stuff and see if it breaks than to have to grab that one missing TeX thingy that you have no idea why it's there). Copy it somewhere where the normal install won't blast all your work. I use c:\temp\remcyg[version]_[myversion] for my special cygwin install root. 2: Edit the [Install_Root]/packages/setup.ini . Again, don't use the setup.ini in your default directory or it will be overwritten. You want to add a dummy BASE package. Base packages are always installed. On mine I have a set of scripts run after the install called finish[version} that I've added in to this dummy base package. It looks something like this: @ finish1.5.5 sdesc: Dummy to fool setup, includes finish script ldesc: Dummy to fool setup, includes finish script category: Base requires: [Package names as they are written on the lines with @ at the beginning, space delimited] version: 1.3 install: release/finish1.5.5/finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 7564 5e7d6b01b168000eb1f2668bfc5f60e6 source: release/finish1.5.5/finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 7564 5e7d6b01b168000eb1f2668bfc5f60e6 In the requires section put everything you want in your install. I started by writing a script that read the setup.ini, select for lines with a @ in them, and dump that into the requires line. The advantage is that redundant items aren't re-installed and taking stuff out is easier than putting stuff in. If you want to do a complete install, just leave everything in there, again, the redundancy is ignored. I up version the version line every time I re-write this section. Install and source: since I have scripts I run to setup many services and copy over specific files for my users, I include these. I have never tried this with an empty file here, but I suppose it would work. I believe you DO need something here. In this case I have, under [Install Root]/packages/release/finish1.5.5/ a tar bz2 file called finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 the files saved here use the same directory structure as cygwin under it's root ( / ). In this case one of the files is /etc/postinstall/finish1.5.5.sh which setup runs at the end of the install. The important point is the numbers: 7564 and 5e7d6b01b168000eb1f2668bfc5f60e6 7564 is the size of the finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 file and 5e7d6b01b168000eb1f2668bfc5f60e6 is the md5sum of the finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 file (example): [EMAIL PROTECTED]://murgatroid/c$/temp/remcyg1.5.24/packages/release/finish1.5.5 ls -al finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 dobrin Domain Users 7564 Aug 10 16:56 finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]://murgatroid/c$/temp/remcyg1.5.24/packages/release/finish1.5.5 md5sum finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 5e7d6b01b168000eb1f2668bfc5f60e6 *finish1.5.5_5.tar.bz2 I use this in 2 ways: I have 500+ machines with cygwin that I need to update at times. I have a group of scripts that will, from a centralized location: copy the tarball to the machine, shutdown all the cygwin services, untar, spawn an install/upgrade, go on to the next machine... I also package a zipfile that I can use for new unattended installs.

RE: Perl failure
Sorry Corinna But actually, I never saw your reply, which is odd since I keep all the cygwin.com mailing list items for a week, but I also have only ever seen 1 of my own additions to the thread(!), and I never received my initial email through the mailing list and only got confirmation that it went thru when I got my first response. Because I had noticed that some e-mails seem to get diverted, I've taken to checking the archives to see if anyone has responded to queries rather than trusting the list. But as of late last night (California time) your initial response hadn't turned up there either. This seems to indicate what is going on (I'd suspected something like this) and had noticed that the addition of waitpid (or wait) did solve this problem in the test case. Unfortunately, for me, the way I'm using fork is to spawn 5 to 10 concurrent rsync's at a time AND retain control of the parent so as to recognize when one of the rsyncs has hung, and clean up the children when the script finishes. I've never liked doing it this way (it seems in-elegant), but not being a particular Perl hacker, I've never figured out a better way; and I've been using this same script for 7 years in one form or another on Linux, Cygwin, and Irix and have just now run into this problem. As it stands this is still a script that runs fine on current Linux, but not on current Cygwin. Is there a way to purge or bump up the limit on this list of active children?

RE: Perl failure
Hi,
I stripped down the code to a small testable bit. The problem seems to
occur when I reach 256 forks on a cygwin1.5.18 or 19 but not on my
cygwin1.5.5. win2k system. The original code give the forked process
time to finish, but it still looks like it eats it after about 256
iterations ( it actually failed between 259 and 252 iterations, but
it's pretty complicated so I'm not sure what else was happening).
Here is my test code:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp cat test8.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $pid;
foreach my $incr (`seq 1 1 800`) {
unless (defined ($pid = fork)) {
die cannot fork $!;
}
unless ($pid) {
print the sequence is $incr \n;
exit;
}
print pid is $pid\n;
}
###
The error here is :
cannot fork Resource temporarily unavailable at ./test8.pl line 11.
panic: MUTEX_LOCK (45) [op.c:354].
On cygwin1.5.5 it finishes successfully. I'm not sure if there is
anything else I can try, I'm looking around for some other machines

RE: Perl failure
I ran just the core part of the script, it forks off a number of rsync's for every machine it is checking. When the panic happens it kills of the parent, but the remaining children finish successfully. I then brought back up the previous server that I had used (win2k machine with cyg1.5.5). The script ran through successfully on the older machine. I had to make minor changes to my Perl script: 1: I use ping to check if the machines are alive, the older ping response needs to be parsed differently 2: I use rsync for version control, Rsync (old and new) will hang about 5% of the time on the old cygwin and about 0.5% of the time on the new, often to the point where cygwin's kill won't kill it. In these cases I also call /c/windows/system32/taskkill on XP, but I need to call windows kill on win2k. 3: All the data that is version controlled is kept on the new cyg 1.5.19 XP server, so I had to change the data location from a local drive on the newer machine to a network drive on the newer machine. So I'm at the point where the old server works with new code ( though it is very slow and rsync is very unreliable on it) and a new machine which runs great until it craps out after 1.5 hours. I hope the above helps Thanks Bruce D. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 8:53 AM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Perl failure On Wed, Jul 12, 2006 at 05:08:43PM -0700, Bruce Dobrin wrote: Hi, I have a server that has been doing back end maintenance using perl on cygwin for 6 years now.

Perl NET::SERVER module acts strangly in cygwin
HI All,
Perhaps this is the wrong list for this, but as it is Cygwin
specific...
Anyone have any experience with the perl NET::SERVER module?
I have been re-writing some of my perl servers using the
NET::SERVER::PREFORK (v.90)module. All is well on Linux but in Cygwin
(1.5.18) everything works fine until I try to take the data coming in
via the socket ($_) and fork off a system or exec using that data.
When I do this, the client connection is abruptly closed without
successfully performing the system call. If I define the variable
internally it all works fine.
Example:
Sub make_dirs (
my $destinU = $_ ;
chomp;
$destinU =~ tr#\\#/#;
$destinU =~ tr/://d;
print unix style destination is $destinU \r\n;
if (! -d $destinU ){
print system \mkdir -p ${destinU}\\r\n;
system mkdir -p /cygdrive/c/${destinU} ;
Result:
unix style destination is c/temp/newdir
mkdir -p /cygdrive/c/temp/newdir
#And nothing happens and client session crashes.
If I set the above second line to :
my $destinU = c:\temp\newdir ;
I get :
unix style destination is c/temp/newdir
mkdir -p /cygdrive/c/temp/newdir
the directory is created and the client session remains open and
stable.
If I run the first example on Linux (centos4) All works as it's suppose
to and I get weird /cygdrive/c/temp directorys ;)
I tried running the above example in a script using the SOCKET module,
and the above worked as expected .
I've been staring at strace logs, but I'm not getting anywhere...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Bruce D.

Tcsh .history file growing out of control
Hi All, This is generally a minor headache, But routinely for about the last 2 years while running rxvt and tcsh, I'll have a problem where I can't start a new shell and I'll find that I have a .history file that is 4 to 5 gig's. I blow the thing away and all is once again right in the world. It seems to often correspond with a user ( often myself) having closed a shell that not only doesn't really close but starts spinning out of control, using 100% CPU. Obviously it is doing something that is filling the history file, but usually when I notice it, the history file is too big to open or move and I need to solve the problem so I just end up blowing it away. I think this started cropping up when Cygwin moved from 1.3 to 1.5 and has happened with every version since. I'd like to try just using bash or something else, but my facility standard for all flavors of UNIX is tcsh and my changing to bash wouldn't help the 1000 other people in the facility that occasionally get burned by this when on their windows boxes. I hit it a couple of times a month, most users much less, but it's been burning us more and more as our users move transparently between windows, Linux and Irix. I hoped I'd see something crop up on the list, none of my searches have turned up anything.

The argument to -T is a filename of a file containing a list of additional files to rebase, one per line. It can also take '-' to mean a list on stdin. However when you do rebaseall you want to make sure that as few cygwin programs are invoked as possible, otherwise you risk their DLLs being in use and the rebase will abort. (This is why you must run it from a plain bash CMD.EXE prompt, not rxvt or xterm.) Therefore you should be careful if you use '-' so that you don't have DLLs in use.

Subject: Program to talk to serial port?
I need a program that can talk to a serial port on the local computer,
the way Hyperterm does for Microsoft Windows.
I would like this program to present its user interface in an xterm.
If that is not possible, perhaps a program that is itself an X11 client
would do.
I was able to compile minicom under cygwin. However, when minicom
launches, it tries to access /dev/ttyS1, which is not provided by
cygwin.
Would someone suggest a program that is suitable, or a program that
might be portable to cygwin. I am willing to do a bit of work on this.
Thanks for any suggestions!

How does rebaseall know where to go to find these; how do I get it to stop looking for these non-existant dll's?

The 'smbntsec' option is designed for those kinds of shares. If you do have a proprietary filesystem driver, Cygwin most likely doesn't have any support for recognizing the security attributes on that. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC. It's also possible that the filesystem driver that you have is partly compatible with the NTFS or SMB security, and some addition to the Cygwin codebase to deal better with one or the other has accesses to features that aren't available on your filesystem, so it stopped working. Your login problem has nothing to do with the above. Unlike Linux, where anyone can run su or login, Windows NT variants require the user to have extra privileges to be able to switch user context (create an access token belonging to someone else). http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SETUID should explain this somewhat.

Subject: RE: NTsec permissions issue over inet
Igor,
I tried settting smbntsec and it did not work. With older version I
used to
just set ntsec, make the passwd and group files, and everything would
just
work
the way I would expect. Something has changed in the way cygwin handles
NT
security.
I am running a generic version of windows 2000 with no thrid party
filesys
drivers.
I don't believe that it's aproblem with my configuration because older
version of
Cygwin have worked just fine. As of now all suggestions have not been
successful.
It sounds like a new bug has been introduced surrounding NT security.

Subject: RE: NTsec permissions issue over inet
Steve,
On Windows, if you use the Windows sharing mechanism (instead of a
proprietary filesystem driver), your shares are SMB shares (which stands
for Server Message Block, IIRC). The 'smbntsec' option is designed for
those kinds of shares. If you do have a proprietary filesystem driver,
Cygwin most likely doesn't have any support for recognizing the security
attributes on that. http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC. It's also
possible that the filesystem driver that you have is partly compatible
with the NTFS or SMB security, and some addition to the Cygwin codebase
to deal better with one or the other has accesses to features that
aren't
available on your filesystem, so it stopped working.
Your login problem has nothing to do with the above. Unlike Linux,
where
anyone can run su or login, Windows NT variants require the user to
have extra privileges to be able to switch user context (create an
access
token belonging to someone else).
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-SETUID should explain
this somewhat.

HI Bruce,
The reason I don't have smbntsec set is because the remote
volumes are not Samba Shares. The interesting thing here is that when
I
ran an older version of Cygwin, this functionality would work just
fine.
I also tried the passwd trick (which didn't work as well.) I can't
imagine what the problem could be ? At this time I am running out of
ideas. My only hope at this time
Re: NTsec permissions issue over inet
YIKES! There it is, and right there in the users guide no less
not only that, but in a section I've actually read a number of
times!. Well, that does explain almost everything that is going on
( though, it seems to have gotten even tighter since the 1.3.12 release
that allows me to access net drives if I specify a passwd during rlogin( as
mentioned below)). The perl script is actually running as a service; as a
user with net access rights.
I hate to ask this without looking at the inetd/xinetd code first: But is
there any chance that context switching will be fixed to allow net access
too someday? Or is there an easy way to rebuild inetd in such a way that I
could run it as a network user (rather than SYSTEM) and allow it to
interact with net drives directly ?( I've tryed this, but without much
luck). If I may be so impertinent, this seems somewhat un-UNIX like
behavior. I was VERY close to unifying our maintenance and process scripts
for all of our Unix and windows machines using cygwin, but since virtually
every process we use in house is accessed via an nfs or smb network link (
at times upwards of 3000 mounts at a time) We currently control 2400
various Unix boxes with rsh/rlogin, and given the robustness of cygwin
currently, about the only thing keeping us from adding the 700 ( and
climbing) windows boxes to this, is this issue.
If anyone has any suggestions ( aside from move over to Linux , or
convert everything to windows) I'd really appreciate it.. In any case,
Thanks Igor, for the time spent already..

Umm, Bruce, you aren't trying to access network shares from a session you
did with passwordless authentication, are you? Because if you are, it's
not going to work (see
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#NTSEC-RELEASE1.3.3).
I've also found that even if you log in through telnet or ssh, you
sometimes need to issue an explicit net use command to get access to
network shares... Try that, and see if it helps.
I'm guessing the perl script runs as yourself from a session that
already accessed the share...

rsync reliablility issue
cygwin 1.3.22, I know the list hates rsync questions/problems ( is there is a better list for this?) but... I have been having somewhat aqrbitrary but continued reliability issues with rsync, I've been trying to use rsync to synchronize a fairly large number of machines from a central server. Somewhat arbitrarily ( but often ) in the midst of copying files I either terminate with the following: ... rsync: error writing 68 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463) rsync: error writing 7161 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Connection reset by peer rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /tmp/rsync-2.5.5/io.c(463) or it hangs on one file until the i/o time_out value I have set kicks in.. That file never gets transfered, but the next time it transfers that file fine and hangs in a different place or not at all. It the first case, the first error line is ALWAYS writing 68 bytes the third line byte count changes... I run multiple rsyncs concurently from a master server, but have seen the same beahviour even when doing one rsync at a time. I did find that removing Terminal Services ( http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01805.html) did improve the reliablity, but I still have around a 25% faliure rate.. thanks, Bruce D. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Hello all,
Is there a /proc/partitions or a /proc/cpuinfo in newer versions of
Cygwin?
I'm looking for a way to determine cpu info and drive info from the
command line. I'm using v1.3.14.
Thanks in advance,

Re: cpu and partition info
on older (NT?) os's, there are 2 places which each have 1/2 of the info
needed to emulate the standard hinv format. I don't remember when or
where the cutoff is, it is so that all works the same on XP , 2k and NT and
with the rest of the hinv code ( I only sent a little as an example...)

Re: xinted rsync bluescreen
Don't know if this will help, but I went through 3 machines running init
and rsync (nt, 2000 and XP) and all of them , at one time or another, I
could trigger the blue screen by something as innocuous as : ( with rsync
on) Stop init, rm /etc/rc.d/rsync, exit shell, BSOD. I think it odd that I
had this issue even when init was no longer running, and not until I exited
the shell. It didn't always happen ( I think it may be related to if rsync
had been called at anytime...) but it was nasty enough that in some cases I
couldn't even touch the etc/rc.d/rsync file with vim without eventually
crashing. I'm over my head on this one...

Do you think the handle to /etc that each (is it each or all?) cygwin

AFAICT the handle is opened when starting cygwin and is inherited by
child processes. It is used in a WaitForSingleObject call.
The purpose is to rescan /etc/{passwd,goup} after changes.
It's unlikely to be a coincidence, given the previous e-mails!
Why would that
be and why would it happen to but a few of the many Cygwin users?
Good questions! Perhaps init has more subprocesses (wild guess).

xinetd

doesn't
start xinetd. If I manualy start xinetd (either with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start or /usr/sbin/xinetd -d) it appears
to
set

Subject: xinetd/ init not working for me
I just upgraded to 1.3.18 and noticed a version of init and
xinetd.
I
turned off inetd and installed xinetd, chkconfig,
sysvinit, and
the initscripts, Ran init-config and xinetd-config.
chkconfig
says
that
xinetd
is on at runlevel3, net start init starts init at
runlevel3 ,
but
doesn't
start xinetd. If I manualy start xinetd (either with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd start or /usr/sbin/xinetd
-d) it appears
to
set
up the various services, but when I try to access
the machine
using
an
xinetd service (telnet or rlogin) I get :

I've tried adding the services to the hosts.allow
file and a few
oth
er
things, but no luck so far, I've also been through
the cygwin

xinetd

Oh, inetd works just fine, but I'd like to use xinetd if I
could.
thanks for any help.

Re: Problem with rsh
Before someone else brings this up: although blanking the Unused by does allow anyone to rsh into the machine. It also adds a nasty artifact in that anyone can login as anyone else by using the -l option (rsh hostname -l different_user). It looks like ever since 1.3.2 you have had to use a hosts.equiv or .rhosts file. Simplest way is to add a file callled hosts.equiv to etc and include a list of all machines that should be allowed to access this machine. Unfortunatly using the documented + in this file doesn't seem to work anymore (Note: it no longer works on RH Linux 7.2 either unless you set /etc/pam.d/rsh and rlogin to permiscuis.. an option not avaliable to cygwin). Personally, I use a perl script to cull the hosts file from my dns server to do generate this file once a day. I've never gotten an answer from the list on how to get the + entry to work and would welcome any solution to that problem. Documentation on all this seems rather limited and often apocryphal as specific to cygwin.

You want something like this: someuser::11150:... and not something like this: someuser:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11150:... An easy way to check if this is the culprit is to try doing an rlogin. For me, this will ask me for a password and then succeed if I have an entry in the password field. If the password field is empty, it succeeds without asking for a password. Wham! Good answer! It works! Actually I viewed the unused_by_nt/2000/xp string as ugly and replaced it with the traditional * instead. But you're right, if you put anything in there it gives me a Permission denied for rsh machine command. Looks like some security checking got tightened up. This does lead to a question as I believe some other services (ssh? exim? I forget) require that you put an actual passwd in /etc/passwd. They also described how to generate the crypt string. I've done this on my home machine so I copied that encrypted string to my work machine and I still get permission denied. Sounds like it's still a problem but at least I have a workaround for work.

Under current Linux, the + entry in hosts.equiv is allowed if you have : auth required /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so promiscuous in the /etc/pam.d/rsh file since cygwin has no pam, is there a way to get the + to work (or something equivalent?) we have over 2000 constantly changing hosts, and keeping the hosts.equiv updated is a bit of a nightmare..

slow cygwin rcp/fast w2k rcp
Hi We recently installed a number of netgear 620/621 gig-e cards and noticed that the cygwin rcp client (/usr/bin/rcp.exe) in our recent versions of cygwin (1.3.3 to 10) run very slowly over the gig-e (about 10times slower than the W2k's /winnt/system32/rcp.exe (1.5mB/s as apposed to 15 mB/s)). We don't notice a particular speed difference between the two on our 100mb machines, in fact, cygwin's rcp is much faster over the 100mb (about 4mB/s) than it is on the gigabit. I tryed it on a different brand of gig-e card and had nearly the same results. Any ideas?

Finger
Is there anything that anyone knows of in cygwin that runs like UNIX's finger, giving local login and time info when run locally on an NT/2000 machine? OK, so I got a free bsd version of fingerd to compile run with inetd. But it expects a UNIX style finger which, by default displays currently logged in users. Problem is that the NT/2000 version looks to a remote fingerd server. so if I specify a user, I get an endless loop of finger.exe's (as nt hits inetd, which spawns a fingerd, which spawns another finger.exe. etc.)_ fingerd allows me to run another program instead of finger if I can find one has anyone got any ideas? thanks Bruce Dobrin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: cygwin and XP
I don't have a solution, but I have seen this before on both Win2k and NT4. I was installing onto machines that were on wireless networks and I attributed it to dropping connections/ slow net interface. It seemed to download a few things and then bug out with the error you mentioned. I later burned our local cygwin install build to a CD and it worked fine, this probably isn't a good solution, but perhaps it will help illuminate the problem. (PS, the new setup drives me nuts too, especially 'cause it often seems to punt cygncurses5.dll unless you specifically tell it to re-install) Bruce Dobrin - Original Message - From: Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Matthew Cary [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 12:50 PM Subject: Re: cygwin and XP At 02:00 PM 12/21/2001, Matthew Cary wrote: Is cygwin known to have troubles with XP? You can check the mail archives but I think you'll find the answer to that question to be no. Here is my issue: I run setup.exe from cygwin.com, all my packages are downloaded, I get a message that says mount completed successfully, and then setup disappears. If I re-run setup and try to install from my hard drive (using the packages that were all downloaded, apparently successfully), the same thing happens: mount completes successfully, and then everything quits.

Also, is there a quick way to select all packages from setup? It gets tedious switching off all the Skip lines, especially when I'm installing from my hard drive.
