RE: Permissions problems after domain change
My winXP ID was recently moved from one domain to another. Now when I log in to cygwin, I don't have permissions to access some of my own files - like my ssh id_rsa file for example. Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this? Also, the group name is showing up as all question marks when I do an ls -l. Can anyone help me fix this? TIA. For file permissions one issue is that your OLD domain account is not the same as your NEW account (even if the names are the same of course.) There is a (fairly tedious) tool available on Windows for fixing such problems SubInACL.exe (I read it as (SUBstitute INstead a differenc ACL or permission.) It's a pain to use but quite powerful important when a machine changes domains and the old users and groups no longer have access. -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://LearnQuick.Com 512 388 7339 -or- 1 800 MCSE PRO Accelerated MCSE in a Week Seminars -- 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: Can NTFS junctions be listed?
Is there a utility for cygwin that can list NTFS junction points? Perhaps an option for find? I am interested in junctions that are not on the same partition. It appears that junctions from sysinternals.com gets an invalid instruction when run my Athlon XP machine. I don't know the answer to your question, and it is quite possible that you have thought of the following but it's better if you decide if it is useful: You might try a couple of the built-in, Reskit or support tools: Dir /ad (attribute directory) will find junctions or reparse points which you could parse with Perl (etc) and feed to either LinkD.exe or FSUtil.exe such, e.g.: fsutil reparsepoint query c:\prog (...and you would need to further parse the output to do anything useful probably.) Problem is that the tools that know about junctions don't search for them so you have to use something like dir to first find them so it is a bit ugly. -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://LearnQuick.Com 512 388 7339 -or- 1 800 MCSE PRO Accelerated MCSE in a Week Seminars -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John and Holly Klug Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2006 12:43 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Can NTFS junctions be listed? -- 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/ -- 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/

KillAll SpamAssassin Processes
This should be simple but I haven't found the magic encantation so far: I wish to kill SpamAssassin and all child processes it has started. [My experience is that trying to signal -s HUP does not work with SA (on CygWin) but puts SA into some sort of unresponsive state.] I have other (than SA) Perl processes running so using killall with just the process NAME is not a good choice. So far no combinations of killall switches, e.g., using Group ID etc, have worked. My only useful method (other than hitting each process individually) has been to use -i (interactive) and then respond to each confirmation.

RE: Calling shell script from DOS
I have installed Cygwin. I want to invoke a shell script from the DOS/Windows command prompt (instead of opening Cygwin Window first and calling it from there). How can I do this? In addition to what others said, use bash -c instead of bash to honor the shebang (#!) line. This would then work for tcsh, ksh, perl, python, [you name it] scripts, as well as symlinks. In fact, whenever you need to invoke a Cygwin program from the DOS prompt, and you don't know if it's a script, a symlink, or an actual .exe, you can't go wrong with bash -c progname. Excellent!!! I had noticed that things like ls, dir, d didn't work (without that -c). Now they do too! Or course, they would just run anyway without the bash but you are correct that one must otherwise know what type of command it is. Adding --login (-l) is optional, but may be useful for scripts that make assumptions about your environment. cool. -- Herb Martin -- 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: SETUP: In-use files have been replaced
Chris Taylor All I wish to do is make Setup aware of this if it is possible. For now, I must (carefully) ensure that setup doesn't overwrite my good version with the default. If you reinstalled all of exim, you don't really need the cygwin version.. So you want to edit the /etc/setup/installed.db and give it an artificially high number, say 99.999, as the installed version of exim. This will stop cygwin from ever overwriting your installation of exim (unless the version ever gets higher than that.. unlikely in our lifetimes to be honest) Chris Thank you Chris, that is precisely the information I was seeking. -- Herb Martin -- 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: Administrator vs Administrators
I think you have an extra s in the user name :-) (I have an Administrator user, but no Administrators user). Can someone correct my understanding if I've got this wrong? I think Administrator means the administrator account on the local machine, Administrators means the administrative account for the machine in the domain (workgroup). No, that is not correct in various ways. Adminstrator is a user account on each local machine AND also a different account on each domain. Administrators is a group in each such place. Both the user and group are built-into NT class machines and to NT-class domains. (And they are not ever the same user or group.) Expect admin users to be a (direct or indirect) member of Administrators in the context (machine or domain) where that user has such privileges.

Xargs positioning the arguments in a command -- is this a bug or a feature?
CygWin 1.5.18
I was trying to create a date-time-sortable list of
files with an appended tag for each entry (ham or
spam flag if you care about the detail) and had some
difficulty with xargs:
dir -gGtcr --time-style=+%Y%m%d%X | cut -c 24- | xargs -i -n 2 echo {}
MORE_STUFF
...doesn't work -- i.e., {} appears in the output.
However, reversing the switches does work as expected:
dir -gGtcr --time-style=+%Y%m%d%X | cut -c 24- | xargs -n 2 -i echo {}
MORE_STUFF
I am curious if this is expected behavior as I didn't
see any warning in the xarg --help or man/info entries.
It is an unusual command that requires switches to
appear in a specific order, especially when the
switches are not directly dependent on each other.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Blake
It is an unusual command that requires switches to appear in a
specific order, especially when the switches are not directly
dependent on each other.
The upcoming findutils-4.2.25-1 (whenever upstream releases
4.2.25) better documents this. -i is being deprecated in
favor of POSIX -I, which requires an argument, whereas the
non-standard -i treated its argument as optional. So what
may be happening (although you'd actually have to debug to
see for sure) is that -i -n treats -n as the string to
replace, instead of the default {}. But that sounds odd, and
it may be an upstream bug; I'll investigate further.
--
Eric Blake
Thanks, Eric. That is very cool of you to check.
FYI: I had trouble with -I, and with --string,
and even trying to specify the replacement string
using -i, although I didn't exercise those other
options as carefully as the -i and default {}.

Exim 4.52 Cygwin 1.5.8 SPA authentication failures warnings in Reject Log
Would someone running Exim 4.50+ (especially 4.52) on CygWin and using
Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express with SPA (NTLM) authentication to a
flat file please search your Exim reject log for a warning of the following
type (all one line):
2005-08-23 18:36:53 spa authenticator failed for
cpe-70-112-20-135.austin.res.rr.com (Unagi)
[70.112.20.135]: 535 Incorrect authentication
data (set_id=HerbM)
The key, spa authenticator failed.
If you have no such erros unders this setup, would you please post (or send
to me privately) the relevant authenticator and a (sanitized) snippet of
your password file so I can check my format.
The weird part is that the authentication actually seems to work correctly,
the user is authenticated (an incorrect password will fail and not work as
expected so it doesn't seem to be getting through another way -- and all
other authenticators have been commented out of the exim.conf file.)
Here is my authenticator:
begin authenticators
spa:
driver = spa
public_name = NTLM
server_password = ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/authpwd}}
server_set_id = $1
(I have tried it both with and without that last line:
server_set_id.)
My /etc/authpwd password file is:
username:password
user2:password2
etc:and_so_on
Another weird thing, it always shows the interCap version of the username
(HerbM as opposed to herbm) even though Outlook is set to use herbm and
the file has the lower case version (I have also tried changing both to
match Intercap and it still works but the failure also appears in the
reject log.)
I have tried making sure the /etc/authpwd is UNIX style line endings (lf
not cr/lf) but that change had no effect.
My working assumption (pure guess) is that Outlook is FIRST sending the
user logon name, maybe with domain included, and then perhaps failing over
to the configured (in Outlook) name and that somehow works but this doesn't
really hold together as a satifying answer.

Did you intend this for TRE (which doesn't seem [to me] to be the cause of the problem.) fix this you must edit /etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/local/lib, and then run ldconfig. ld.so.conf and ldconfig are aspects of the Linux dynamic linker. There is no such thing under Windows or Cygwin, so those instructions are meaningless. And since the TRE is set to static (by configure instruction when TRE is made), TRE shouldn't be the problem. ??? The closest equivalent is to ensure that the installed DLL is in the path. This normally means that if you configured with --prefix=/usr/local (the default) that you should get a cygwhatever.dll in /usr/local/bin and hence you need /usr/local/bin in the path. Only static libraries and import libraries go in /usr/local/lib, and these do not need to be in the path.

From Behalf Of Brian Dessent -L takes a single path, no colon. You specify it multiple times to add multiple paths. But /lib is already be in the search path so this is redundant and unnecessary.

RE: Trying to build crm114 (20050721) under CygWin 1.5.18-1
I have no idea how this makefile is structured and since it
apparently doesn't use autotools (ggghhh!!) then you'll
probably have to hack it up. This is precisely why using
home-made Makefiles is a terrible idea. You need to find
where the actual gcc link command is constructed and see how
the order is specified in order to figure out how to get the
libraries in the right place.
I am working this target, on the theory that if I
can get it to link then the same principle can be
applied to the rest of the modules:

# For TRElib, look in the TRE sub-directory of this kit.

RE: Trying to build crm114 (20050721) under CygWin 1.5.18-1

cygcheck can show a version when the program is not even there (either not installed or missing) Why do you say that the Cygwin man was not installed? From everything you've posted it was installed just fine, but your other version of man was found first in the path. No, it wasnt' THERE. There was no man.exe AND the other man was LATER on the path even had there been such a file. I used setup and re-installed it. The other item, still later on the path was being picked up. So I deleted the other man, and then bash complained that the deleted file was missing even though the right one is in /usr/bin and the wrong one is gone.

RE: Another (differently) broken man on CygWin 1.5.8 -- Apropos still troublesome
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Blake According to Herb Martin on 8/14/2005 10:22 PM: cygwin (like Linux apparently) keeps a database of programs and so deleting an incorrect program on the path may leave the OS complaining about the missing item rather than using the now available correct item EVEN THOUGH the correct program is earlier in the path. In bash, shopt -s checkhash tells bash to recheck the PATH when a program disappears from its hashed location. hash -p /usr/bin/man man tells bash to remember that man should be /usr/bin/man, regardless of the path. And hash -r man removes the current hashing of man, making the next use of man do a PATH search. (Read up on 'man bash' for more.)

Yes, the bash maintainer did not add the --help option to his builtins. Instead, bash provides the builtin help command. Try `help hash' to see the subset of `man bash' relevant to the hash command. hash --help gives two swith only (fairly cryptic lines).

perhaps a debug strategy could be suggested.]

As soon as I prove it's working that is the way I will use it.) Thanks again. Can a Cygwin program that is being run as a service be effectively sent a HUP to get it to re-read it's configuration? Assumptions: That service accepts HUP and reloads its configuration when run as a daemon. Or must such services be stopped and restarted completely? -- Herb Martin -- 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: Is there a UNIX socket test client program (a la NetCat)?
It probably depends on what you want to do, and the examples section of the man page is a good place to look. It could be as simple as: socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/foo.sock That should connect stdin/stdout to the socket, in the same way as netcat. socat really just boils down to specifying two things to connect together, and each of those can be any of the various types and take a myriad of options. That is precisely what I wanted to do -- and even though I believe that I had tried this there was a syntax error in both my cygrunsrv defintion for spfd AND in my socat - commands. Once I knew this was the syntax for socat then I concentrated better on looking for errors (missing : colon between the connect and the file socket name.) Thanks once again. Now, I have a way to test for such silly errors on my part and for general functioning of UNIX-type sockets (and a bunch of other stuff as well.) This really is a big help. Being rather new to Posix style systems, the unix-socket stuff was too much of a black box without some type of test tool. -- Herb Martin -- 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/
Is there a UNIX socket test client program (a la NetCat)?
Is there a UNIX socket test client program (a la NetCat)? I need to test a variety of UNIX (not IP/INET) socket daemons for both syntax and are you running. Is there a program that can read-write to an arbitrary Unix-type socket in a manner similar to NetCat or Telnet? My simple attempts to adapt the Perl Cookbook Unix socket program didn't work and no one on the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup has been able to offer a suggestion. Perl code is nice but a compiled program is fine too. I am running SpamAssassin, and a variet of other programs listening on Unix sockets and it would help a great deal if I could interactively test such sockets. -- Herb Martin -- 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/
Anyone running spfd on Cygwin?

Sure, you can do a lot of things, but this is not necessarily a customary way to do installs, nor is the newcomer likely to realize the setup doesn't have all of the information and might wish to keep it for this or another machine. Which brings up those who wish to make it available for other (internal) users, and probably most important: We teach everyone to NEVER RUN a program from the Internet directly but rather to download it and first virus scan it.

RE: setup.exe filename
Naming the program setup.exe is crude; it should have a version number and something about cygwin in the name. Wait a minute. The full name of the file is http://cygwin.com/setup.exe. No, the name of the FILE is setup.exe once it is saved (using defaults which is what the average user always does. There is nothing confusing about it. You may ONLY claim that for yourself. If others say it is confusing then for them at least it is -- if many others say it is confusing this is a real problem even if you or many other say it is not. For deveopers the decision is: Is it important enough to make it easy for that number of users. If you look closely, (almost) every piece of software install program contains a copy of setup.exe (or SETUP.EXE). That seems to be the Windows way of install programs. No, if you look closely you will see this is almost never the case for DISTRIBUTION package files or single install files -- it used to be true but was given up as a poor practice. What is confusing you here is that many CDROMs and expanded distribution files have a setup.exe (best practice today is an MSI) but only on the CD or after expanding into their OWN SUBDIRECTORY (named for the program.) Couldn't you just name it something useful? (ironic grin) Setup.exe is plenty useful. I've been using it, you know, running it everyday before I go making my tea, for the past eighteen years. And never had I been confused. You are not speaking for the average user who is commonly confused by such poorly chosen names. Many of these users can barely figure out WHERE the download directory is located.

RE: setup.exe filename
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Dessent I do not like the idea of adding the version to the name of the file. To a naive user it would reinforce the incorrect idea that the version of setup has anything whatsoever to do with the version of Cygwin and other packages that they are installing. We already get too many of those on the mailing list as it is. A user might see setup-1.2.3 and then later see That is a logical and possibly sufficient reason for omitting the version from the CygWin setup file name. As far as renaming it to something like cygwin-setup.exe or cygsetup.exe or whatever, I'm neutral. I do think it's unfortunate that it has always been named a generic word, but I think changing it now would cause more confusion than good. Likely the issue is mostly for those who just started with CygWin -- those who have been around long enough to become accustomed to the file name probably understand how it does and does not work and one assumes that more people will adopt the system in the future than currently use it.

SysLogD for the naive?
I added SysLogD as a service to my Cygwin server (because I wanted to support SpamD logging to it for SpamAssassin.) CYGWIN syslogd is started and running as a service. (And SpamD stopped emitting a warning about unable to find syslogd when it starts.) /var/log/sylogd.log was created at that time and remains at size: 0 bytes (since the yesterday July 28) while /var/log/wtmp is at 19Meg and updated frequently (inspecting it reveals a lot of NUL bytes and is somewhat difficult to read.) Reading my syslog.conf indicated that the messages are going to /var/log/messages. But what is that 19 Meg wtmp? (I have plenty of disk space so haven't just renamed or deleted it yet.) I took almost all of the defaults -- glanced at the syslog.conf and didn't see anything that I understood how or why to change so I *believe* that it is still at the defaults.

RE: Is the Cygwin installation process likely to change significantly anytime soon?
- Name of setup utility: setup.exe I doubt this will change. It was chosen ages ago in the hopes that it would be a well understood name for the Windows crowd. So far, there's been no real complaint about the name and, better yet, no indication that someone can't install because they can't figure out what executable to run. I'd say the name 'setup.exe' is here to stay. There are much better choices however -- many people will store such downloads in a generic download directory and having no mention of the actual program/system name in the file is a nuisance (understandable, but a nuisance.) And of course one can name the download something else when saving it, but then it is difficult to tell on the next update if you have the same file/different version already. cygwin.exe or cygwinsetup.exe would both be better names. cygwin.msi might have advantages but that is far more than a simple name change grin The setup is very confusing for Windows users, especially on re-install. And it is difficult to figure out how to get just one package and avoid the whole 'setup.exe' issue -- most online docs send the user back to setup.exe when frequently all we want is one specific package. Not a big deal, but noticable; especially for the beginner to Cygwin. More users who thing Cygwin is cool and easy would be a GOOD THING.

stat file -- cygwin vs. Windows size?
Is it likely that stat on a text file in cygwin would return a .st_size large than the file size as used by cygwin that is HIGHER than the physical number of characters once the file is process character by character? I am thinking \n: cr-lf vs. lf, and I am brand new to cygwin programming (only trying to debug a problem in Exim email servers new content scan feature.) This buffer is being built for SpamAssassin which later gives an error saying (to the effect) Content-Length mismatch: Expected 818 bytes, got 798 bytes My suspicion is that stat is counting cr-lf as two characters but the input routines are treating these as one. If the file has about 20 lines, then that's 20 missing characters???

RE: stat file -- cygwin vs. Windows size?
Is there a standard Cygwin 'idiom' or function for dealing with this mismatch, or should I just re-invent the wheel. If you actually believe that you want the file without cr/nl conversion during a read, then you want to open it in binary mode (fopen() with rb instead of r or open() with '| O_BINARY' appended). This *may* be the solution in this case. Since the default mode for opening files is always text but there is no difference in format/behavior between text and binary on UNIX/Linux, you wouldn't see an issue there. Actually I am between a rock and hard place -- email server on one side and SpamD on the other. Apparently the SpamD 'protocol' requires passing the size to SpamD. I don't want to start re-writing code all over either program -- I just want to talk the source email system into telling spamd whatever it needs to know to be happy. Currently, I am accumulating bytes, and will use that, but I am missing something and not getting the write count (YET.) -- 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/

A small patch seems to work. (Keep the bytes spooled and send that number rather than whatever stat was showing.) Since the bytes spooled to the file are what gets sent to spamd that seems to be an accurate number.

RE: Exim 4.50 with Content filtering and SPF
It looks mostly like IPv6 stuff is causing the glitches. This is the problem with libspf2, making the IPv6 stuff conditional should do it, but I am not a programmer so I have not really an idea how to start, all the IP stuff is mixed together in several functions and it will be some work to do to divide it into IPv4 and IPv6. Although I didn't look at this enough to even have a right to an opinion, it occurred to me that SPF really does need to be able to process an IPv6 format address to calculate SPF correctly. Perhaps just digging up the correct .h file or the correct structure settings is the right way to go -- it's not like SPF actually sends any network data other than querying DNS perhaps. But when the SPF/txt record comes back from DNS it might have 'mechanisms' such as ip6: within it and thus the address format for IPv6 will follow. -- Herb -- 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/
Exim 4.50 with Content filtering and SPF
In just a week or so, I have fallen in love with CygWin, and cannot understand how I overlooked it for so long. Thanks folks. Well done to all who contribute! [Please redirect me to the correct list/newsgroup; even RTFM is fine if you will only tell me which fine manual and preferable a page or chapter reference.] Question overview: related to enabling make options, and to compiling new versions. I am not looking for specific diagnostics of my compile problems (since I don't have the output at the moment) but rather any hints or direction to understanding this portor reference to the correct list/newsgroups and documentation for understanding such subjects in general. (Background: I am pretty good with compilers and make but not very experienced with CygWin or Unix specifically.) I successfully recompiled Exim 3.50 under CygWin (current CygWin version from last week: cygwin-1.5.17-1). It seems the 'normal' Exim Local/Makefile isn't really used for CygWin compiles (except as a re-Make signal if touched.) Maybe this is normal for OS ports, but it seems to invalidate some of the documentation in the Local/Makefile, or at least doesn't replace it with any guidelines.) It appears that the Makefile is really OS/Makefile-CYGWIN, and that there are some CygWin specifics in: CYGWIN-PATCHES/ It was possible to enable content filtering by modifying the Makefile-CYGWIN (WITH_CONTENT_SCAN=yes), but had trouble with both (separately) of: #EXIM_PERL=perl.o #EXPERIMENTAL_SPF=yes It seemed to be due to linking or library errors. Tried recompiling SPF and failed that due to similar errors with (each of): libspf2-1.2.4/ libspf2-1.2.5/ ...but succeeded with libsrs_alt-1.0rc1.tar.gz compile. (which is more or less a sister package to SPF.) My attempts to compile Exim 4.51 were unsuccessful; my assumption is that this is due to not having (not even attempting to use) the CYGWIN specifics in the current CygWin 3.50 version but not automatically in the current Exim 3.51 general version.
