Re: Symbolic Links
My question was, is there any way to use the cygwin links, not the windows ones, to also be able to work in the open dialog box in MS Office products like excel for example. As I said, it is working in windows explorer. The only reason why I was mentioning about the windows links is because they were working in excel and I figured it would be a good example. -- Dan Adams - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.infochi.com "Christopher Faylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Mon, Dec 15, 2003 at 01:16:16PM -0700, Dan Adams wrote: > >When I try to use a windows shortcut file in cygwin it doesn't seem to work. > > Correct.

Re: Symbolic Links
When I try to use a windows shortcut file in cygwin it doesn't seem to work. In the example that I tried, misc.lnk is the name of the shortcut from windows.

Re: Symbolic Links
Part of the reason I am interested in this, I guess I forgot to say is to be able to have both Windows and Cygwin recognize the links. If I use the windows shortcut creation, cygwin doesn't recognize it. If I use the cygwin thing below, excel doesn't recognize it, but windows does.

Symbolic Links
Hi, I have been using the symbolic links feature of cygwin to link from one folder to another in my system. I know that is not a big beneficial use of cygwin, but it is one that adds to the benefit of cygwin. I also use cygwin for other stuff. I was wondering, does anyone know is something specific is needed to be able to link from one folder to another, for example I am linking from C:\My Documents to D:\Finance in a link file called other. Honestly this works in the file manager part of windows explorer, one desire I have ot this would be to be able to use this in Microsoft Excel by clicking on the "My Documents" link on the left side and then by opening the folder called "other" in the file list. The only problem with this is that by using the command "ln -s "D:\Finance" other" does not actually let the folder show up in excel. Is this possible, or is this maybe a future feature that will be implemented? If it is in the feature, I know I would appreciate the ability.

Re: sshd setup question
I followed both of those suggestions. I retried that script and it seems to generate the key files each time it is run now. As far as that mySQL thing, I renamed that dll file and will use another program temporarily, until I can figure this thing out. Once I did those two things, I still see an error that looks the same, although the contents of the sshd.log file is now: /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. My main trouble with this is that I seem to be having trouble getting the permissions for that directory like it says, I can get it chmod'ed to 744 easily, but I can't seem to get its ownership to root or system either one. I am using a windows 2000 machine, although that may have been in my cygcheck file that I sent. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get this permission thing set.

Re: sshd setup question
I am guessing this questioning might shift a little with my latest finding. Also, I have attached the cygcheck file thing that was requested at that website. My latest finding is: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key I found this when looking in the sshd.log file that is in that directory. Relating to the permissions that that gentleman mentioned in his post on this list, those directories (this may not be good though) have the permissions for the system account.

Re: sshd setup question
You mentioned that it is not reaching the server through ssh, is there any way I can find out where the problem occurs at? I am using a command line of : ssh -p 422 localhost to do this, I am not sure where in the networking the problem might lie at, is there any way that I can find out, or assist you in finding out? The reason I was trying it with inetd, partly because it mentioned it on the website of yours, is because I have it working correctly for a couple of other services that are part of cygwin. One discrepancy I found between the website and the ssh-host-config file that was installed on my machine is file: chown system.system /var/empty website chown system:system /var/empty How should this be? If you notice the website has a colon on that line, the file has a period on that line.

Re: sshd setup question
Thanks for the comment about cygrunsrv and the method of removing service from win2k That worked well Since I have inetd working well. I have a telnet server and also a FTP server, but neither is available outside of my firewall. I thought that I would try and see if I could use the sshd server that I just setup via the inetd thing. When I did this, I got an error message of: ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer What would this mean? This is the only error message that I have been getting from the ssh deamon when I try and connect, and even before I ran that setup script.

Re: sshd setup question
I tried the directions at the site, and when it did the chown system.system /var/empty command. It errors out, saying that the user is unknown. It seems to not want to start the service after that point. Any more suggestions. Also does anyone know how to remove a service from the listong in Win2k once it is no longer desired. I am hoping to change from telnet/ftp to ssh access which means I would be able to get rid of the service of inetd that is in my win2k control panel thing.

sshd setup question
Does anyone know if there is either a script that will automate the process of setting up an ssh server? Or is there a tutorial setup page?
