setup shows categories not packages in partial view
Hi Everyone Have I missed something? I am running setup and when I look at the Full or Partial views the version numbers are shown against the Category name rather than the package name. Should I have a new setup.exe? I hope it isn't meant to look like that as it is not at all helpful. Anyone else seeing this effect?

Re: sundry & using rootfs as cygwin-root
I have found that giving cygwin its own partition and setting / to the root of the volume gives the best of all worlds for me. I have also used systems with a LETTER:/cygwin and experienced no unexpected or inconvenient behaviour. Cheers Don Sharp Max Bowsher wrote: linda w wrote: Since some fair number of people (including myself) do use the cygwin fs root set at C:\, and having done so over win98,me,2000 and xp I've, personally, never ran into any problems, I was wondering if anyone else *had* run into problems having Cygroot=C:\ ? AFAIK the reasons for this are: Intermingling cygwin files and directories with Program Files, WINDOWS, and all the other bits windows sticks in C:\ is just... *messy*. It's good to be able to tell people "to uninstall cygwin, just delete C:\cygwin" You never know if some other program is going to decide C:\usr would be a good place to install to. I'm fairly sure I came across a Perl installer that did this at some stage. I did run into a problem on a friend's system when I decided to take the more conservative approach and install cygwin in the non-root of his system -- since it wasn't my sys and didn't want to go against the "suggestion" of the cygwin installer...but in using his system after that, not having the two roots be synonomous has been nothing but a pain. find commands, locate and such that used to work from root now no longer work as expected. I can't access the whole system the way I was used to...it's more like cygwin is installed into a separate little compartment over to the side, whereas when I install it in root, I am more often using it as a OS adjunct/layer, as, I _think_, many people are. I'm using Cygwin as a most important part of my environment, and I don't find it odd to have it in C:\cygwin. In fact, I'd *hate* it to have "Program Files", WINDOWS, and so on cluttering up my '/' directory. If you dislike typing /cygdrive/c, then set up a symlink at /c. So I was wondering -- is that warning really _necessary_? and if it is, maybe it is only necessary when creating a new install and not running an update on an existing install each time? That's probably a good idea.

Latest Cygwin installed. cygcheck.out attached $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-4.0 don 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) 2003-03-18 09:20 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $ ls -l total 0 dr-xr-xr-x2 don None0 Apr 22 2009 argo dr-xr-xr-x6 don None0 Apr 22 2009 dhtml dr-xr-xr-x5 don None0 Apr 22 2009 drawcli dr-xr-xr-x3 don None0 Apr 22 2009 getifaces dr-xr-xr-x3 don None0 Apr 22 2009 getifaddr dr-xr-xr-x8 don None0 Apr 22 2009 java dr-xr-xr-x2 don None0 Apr 22 2009 misc dr-xr-xr-x4 don None0 Apr 22 2009 pingex dr-xr-xr-x2 don None0 Apr 22 2009 strtest dr-xr-xr-x3 don None0 Apr 22 2009 webfeet $ cmd /c dir Volume in drive E is AVATR140403 Volume Serial Number is 6B32-B354 Directory of e:\users\don\experime.nt 65535/18/27 05:01p . 65535/18/27 05:01p .. 01/15/03 09:45a argo 01/13/03 03:43p dhtml 01/13/03 03:44p drawcli 01/13/03 03:44p getifaces 01/13/03 03:44p getifaddr 01/13/03 03:44p java 01/13/03 03:44p misc 01/13/03 03:44p pingex 01/13/03 03:44p strtest 01/13/03 03:50p webfeet 12 File(s) 0 bytes 0 bytes free This is similar to a bug I reported back in 2000, see http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-10/msg01076.html but in that case it seemed to apply to the root of FAT partitions.

Hi Alan Bear in mind that some of the mount points might include Cygwin packages. For instance my /usr/X11R6 is mounted from a separate partition for space reasons.

testing accessibility to sources.redhat.com
This is a somewhat off topic item. I have been trying for the last three weeks to update my cygwin installation with setup.exe. Unfortunately I can't establish a connection. traceroute (from my linux firewall) and tracert from my NT box both show that the trace reaches a router somewhere in the USA and then falls down a black hole. MY ISP says it's not his problem because he's passed the packets onward. Has anyone else, (particularly customers of blueyonder.co.uk), had any trouble reaching sources.redhat.com? Until recently I have had no difficulties updating.

My ISP's DNS knows the right IP but my packets disappear down a black hole somewhere in the USA. MY ISP's help desk acknowledge that they can't reach s.r.c either but say they can't do anything about it. Traces from other ISP's in the UK work fine and even blueyonder's professional (business) provider can make the route. However it seems that for me any packets to a 66.x.x.x address fall down a black hole.

Re: sshd, ftpd telnetd starts, but says incorrect passwd
Are you running the inetd daemon to start ftpd and telnetd? If you aren't make sure you look at /usr/doc/Cygwin/inetutils-1.3.2.README. I run ftpd and telnetd all the time via inetd.

Thanks Corinna. I had not remade my /etc/passwd and /etc/group after the reinstall as I thought the original ones would do. Obviously not! Remaking them with mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd mkpasswd -l > /etc/group allowed me ftp access. I removed the guest entry from passwd as per a suggestion in the list (from Egor Duda I believe) to tighten the ftp security.

Re: Cygrunsrv and backups
If you have experience of backing up using tar on Unix then you can do the same with cygwin. Tape positioning with "mt" on the no-rewind editions of the tape device (e.g. /dev/nst0). My backup script looks like #!/usr/bin/sh mt -f /dev/nst0 status echo "Archive T: starting at `date`" cd /dost tar cf /dev/nst0 * mt -f /dev/nst0 tell sleep 30 echo "Archive D: starting at `date`" cd /cygdrive/d tar cf /dev/nst0 * mt -f /dev/nst0 tell sleep 30 echo "Archive finished at `date`" mt -f /dev/nst0 rewoffl The sleeps may not be necessary but I have had problems in the pass with streaming tapes when I haven't include them.

I use it to tell me how near to a full tape I am using so I reshuffle what goes on which tape when it proves necessary. A further point of note is that one should no longer do mounts of tape devices. For a while now they have been automatically available as /dev/[n]st[01..] if present on the system. Look it up in the archives around early to mid-November last year.

The initial mt -f /dev/nst0 status reports tape capacity: 1760887 KB remaining: 1760887 KB current block:0 write protected : no datcompression : on Note the tape capacity report. This is NOT a constant as bad blocks are removed from the capacity automatically. The tape is a DDS-1 of nominally 2Gb capacity. The tape blocks reported by "tell" depends on the blocking set before. In my case because I am using default tar blocking it reports in 10K blocks. However I have noticed that if I run an NT backup beforehand, "tell" reports in 1K blocks. I believe that you can set the block size for the hardware using "mt".

problems if dot in front of bash CDPATH
Hi Folks There is an inconsistency when "." is included in one's CDPATH. If "." is at the start of the CDPATH then "cd someCDPATHdirectory/.." leaves you in the current directory. Works fine if "." isn't at CDPATH front.

Updated rxvt-2.7.2-13 disturbs vim's colours
Hi I am afraid that this new version seriously upsets Vim on NT4 SP6a. During an editing session, my cursor changed to white, the background changed to white and most of the characters went invisible. I confirmed that this was not a brown out effect by shutting down and restarting from cold. It soon happened again while editing with vim. Normal command line behaviour is OK. Reverting to the previous 2.7.2-12 lets me edit in peace. Just thought I better mention it!

Re: gawk not taking redirected input under command.com
Is it possible that cmd.exe (and command.com) redirections and pipes are
not acceptable whereas bash.exe uses Cygwin implemented redirections?

"login" is definitely the culprit and Sergei Okhapkin, in an earlier reply, showed the section of login code that's responsible. It's not clear why you are using login when you already have an rxvt window. I believe it isn't intended as a way of doing an "su username" but for use by telnetd etc. If I don't type login in an rxvt window I don't run into the problem.

There are a number of devices which are "known" to Cygwin and they include /dev/st0. I know because I use it quite frequently, albeit to refer to a DAT drive rather than a DLT. Try mt -f /dev/st0 status If you get a reasonable status report you are in business. See the Cygwin User Guide which should have a section on special device names.

Re: how to be "superuser" on W98 ?

It isn't the lack of root permissions that is hiding /usr/bin and /usr/lib. It's the fact that they are virtual directories, a figment of the Cygwin imagination. /dev is also a virtual directory. If you type $ mount G:\\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) G:\\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) c:\tmp on /tmp type system (binmode) G: on / type system (binmode) It shows the existence of /usr/bin and /usr/lib but the mount points don't have to be real directories.

setup-2002-01-27-1.exe clips text
Using setup-2002-01-27-1.exe I have noticed that the text in the selection dialog is clipped. i.e. there appear to be ~3 pixels missing from the top of the displayed text on my 1280x1024 display. Haven't seen it reported so I thought I'd mention it.

cp /dev/zero filename creates large files
Hi
I carried out the following sequence of commands
$ for i in `cat /tmp/d`; do if [ -f $i.idx ]; then ls -l ${i}*; fi; done
-rw-r--r--1 don None0 Jun 17 1998 dtaq
-rw-r--r--1 don None 3072 Jun 17 1998 dtaq.idx
$ cp /dev/zero dtaq.idx
The cp appeared to be hanging and the disc was rattling away, so in
another window I typed in
$ ls -l dtaq*
-rw-r--r--1 don None0 Jun 17 1998 dtaq
-rw-r--r--1 don None 65307648 Jun 17 1998 dtaq.idx
and you can see that the reported size of the target of the 'cp
/dev/zero' has grown to a considerable size in a short time.
Can anyone else reproduce this?
Attaching cygcheck.log
Cheers
Don Sharp

Re: cp /dev/zero filename creates large files
Thanks to everyone that replied pointing out that it was /dev/null that
I needed NOT /dev/zero.
Thanks again

I've done the "Try" line above and there are no reported errors.

I am afraid it still segfaults and the last report output was for texinfo.

I suspect it must have been once upon a time but anyway the reinstalls have resulted in its disappearance. Hasn't cleared the segfault though %<(.

It's definitely our friend textutils. Examining the output from the zcat piped through less shows that second and subsequent lines begin "^@", which is the likely cause of the problem. Removing the nulls allows "cygcheck -cv" to succeed. Thank you very much for your help in locating the source of the problem.
