Fwd: which command fails

[J S]

Sorry I posted this to the wrong group.


Hi,

Since I upgraded cygwin I can't use the which command. It keeps saying:

$ which /usr/bin/ls
/usr/bin/ls: Command not found.


My path appears to be OK:

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:.:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/wmaker/bin:/cygdriv
e/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/ora8i/bin:/cygdrive
/c/Program 
Files/Oracle/jre/1.1.7/bin:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/E!PC:/cygdrive/c/ACE/rdbms32/bin:/cygdriv
e/c/Program Files/Attachmate/E!E2K/:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/ULTRAE~1

The which also looks OK, and is the same as the which in the old cygwin I 
had:

$ which
usage: which [-a] command...

$ ls -l which
-rwx--1 544  105134608 Nov 15  2001 which


Any ideas what could be going wrong?

JS.

Yes.  You have ntsec on (it's on by default starting from 1.3.13, IIRC),
and the files in your /bin have the wrong permissions.  Try

$ chmod -R a+rx /bin

and see if it solves the problem.  You might also want to update your
passwd and group files - search this list for instructions.

Igor,

Thanks, that was it. I did chmod -R a+rx * and that fixed the Xfree problem 
I was having with 'failed to open input method' as well.
I didn't realise the permissions had changed in Cygwin now, looks like I'll 
have to go back to the documentation and read up on it again.

Thanks for your help.

JS.

I found doing chmod -R a+Xr * from the root directory was a better solution 
because it only then added user excecute permissions to those files that 
already had the x flag set.

I now have a problem in that, when I take a snapshot of cygwin with these 
permissions set, the package I build doesn't retain those permissions when I 
install it again.

Ideally what I'd like is for the administrator to install the package, and 
then the user log on and run startx. Unfortunately at the moment that 
currently results in things not working properly eg. the which command, 
failed input method.

So short of getting the administrator to run chmod -R a+Xr * themselves 
first before logging off, is there anything else you can think of which 
might allow me to retain the permissions in my cygwin build?

Many thanks for your help.

Rgds,

JS.

Re: stop cygwin sed adding ^M

[J S]

OK I think I know why I had this problem now. You're saying if my drive is 
mounted in text mode then sed will insert ^M at the end of lines.
This won't happen though if the drive is mounted in bin mode. Right?

In that case I have one more question. When I start cygwin as an 
administrator, my c drive is mounted as:

c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)

but if I'm logged on as a local user, it's mounted in text mode.
How can I change this as a local user to be mounted in binary?

Thanks,

JS.

Thanks for that. It's working now!

mkpasswd - cannot contact Domain Controller

[J S]

Looking at the code then, it seems to bomb out in main when it gets to:

if (print_domain)
  {
if (domain_name_specified)
  rc = netgetdcname (NULL, domain_name, (LPBYTE *) & servername);
else
  rc = netgetdcname (NULL, NULL, (LPBYTE *) & servername);
if (rc != ERROR_SUCCESS)
  {
print_win_error(rc);
exit (1);
  }

The problem is with the call to netgetdcname which returns the name of the 
primary domain controller. This works on my computer (which is DHCP enabled 
and seems to configured for a Primary WINS server).
My colleague has a fixed IP address, but I can't see any Primary WINS server 
configured when I issue an IPCONFIG /ALL.
Is the PDC not supposed to be configured for a fixed IP address do you know?

setregid and setreguid

[J S]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile eterm on cygwin, but running into problems because it 
needs setregid and setuid. I noticed that these were in the cygwin package 
testsuite and so I tried to compile that but the make file wouldn't work. 
Are there any binaries around for setregid and setreguid?
