I would suggest that you should not consider fixed bugs in glibc (bug
23007 in this case) to be appropriate to emulate in other libraries.

Re: cygwin not showing afp files since update
More information. It looks like Temporary files are created when using Print To File from Adobe. I went back and looked at old Postscript and AFP files created that way and Cygwin cannot see them when listing the directory or perl globbing.

It looks like the program that created them is putting the T attribute which means Temporary. I don't think this used to hide them in cygwin but now it does. Is this by design?

Re: Unexpected behavior of HOME value

The system in question is a laptop and the behavior works as expected when the laptop is connected to the domain, however it breaks when not. Starting a vpn session when remote brings the behavior back to what is expected. What does cygwin do that requires an active connection to the domain in addition to the logic outlined in /etc/profile?

Unexpected behavior of HOME value
Looking at /etc/profile, I see the following: # Here is how HOME is set, in order of priority, when starting from Windows # 1) From existing HOME in the Windows environment, translated to a Posix path # 2) from /etc/passwd, if there is an entry with a non empty directory field # 3) from HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH # 4) / (root) # If the home directory doesn't exist, create it. From a command shell: C:\Users\jcasale>set h HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Users\jcasale C:\Users\jcasale>type \cygwin64\etc\nsswitch.conf ... db_home: windows Yet my home is generated as /home/jcasale and the directory is created when launching a terminal. I have countless installs of Cygwin where this works as expected and the HOME variable is constructed as expected using the HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH convention.

Re: Telnet / SSH connection timeout on LAN
Hi Andrew, Desktop LAN Adapter IP: 192.168.0.2 (static) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 no DNS server Wifi Adapter 192.168.254.18 (dynamic) 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.254.254 Laptop LAN 192.168.0.1 (static) 255.255.255.0 no DNS Wifi 192.168.254.19 (dynamic) 255.255.255.0 192.168.254.254 I don't think these namespaces overlap? Note that my ethernet cable is standard 5e, not crossover. I am directly wiring the computers without a switch or hub. This is not supposed to work, and indeed it doesn't work very well. I am content at this point to use wifi's slower transfer speed, since the big 250 GB transfer is done. So I would rather stop using the ethernet cable, as it is a likely failure point. Testing with ethernet cable only, wifi disabled on both: I re-attached the ethernet cable. After manually changing the network type from public to private (work) on both computers, I was able to access Windows shared folders, as before. Network is still labeled unidentified on both machines, as before. Synctoy runs about the same. It finishes the 250 GB sync with about 1000 errors. Not sure whether it's faster; maybe. Cygwin ping works from laptop to desktop. It sends 4 packets, time 0 ms. However, from desktop to laptop, it sends 13 successful pings averaging .5 ms and then freezes. It never presents the statistical summary. Ctrl-c does not break the loop. Had to restart the Cygwin window. I did not observe this behavior before. Ping from desktop windows CLI succeeds normally. Cygwin telnet fails to cross the cable both ways, with error unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out. Telnetting localhost gives connection refused. I don't know how to set up a telnet server. Cygwin ssh to localhost / ip address succeeds. E.g. ssh localhost Connection to other machine fails with error connect to host 192.168.0.x port 22: Connection timed out. Command was e.g. ssh 192.168.0.1 Thanks for the advice. Please let me know what to do next. Adieu. On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 10:26 AM, Andrey Repin anrdae...@yandex.ru wrote: Greetings, Spinfusion!

Mostly it relates to libiberty and object file formats, for use of code that's not included in this repository (which does not include libiberty). If little or none of this code is actually used in newlib, it might make sense to remove the unused files so it's clear they do not need merging from the other repositories.

cygwin usage on Windows
I have a question that I am sure must have been addressed before, but I cannot find it after days of searching. Of course I am a Newbie with cygwin. I have completed an installation, successfully, I think on an x386 platform w/ Win XP SP3 OS. I can compile a C program from within the cywgin shell (terminal) but cannot do so from a windows page. Attempting to run the executable from the latter, generate a terse error response, This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. Is this the actual mode of performance (executable to be run only from the cygwin shell and not from Windos page) or have I lost functionality along the way?

RE: Cygwin 1.7.1 sprintf() with format string having 8th bit set
Hello, Thank you Andy for your help. As per your suggestion, the problem was resolved by adding the line: setlocale (LC_CTYPE, C.ASCII); My actual code was something like: #define CSI_ \233 ... sprintf (..., CSI_%d;%dH, row, col); So my problem is fixed. But as a matter of general interest, there are still some oddities: 1) In my bad test, I already had my LOCALE set to C.ASCII: env | grep LC LC_ALL=C.ASCII I'm using tcsh(1), if this matters. And this setting generates a nuisance message locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C whenever I start nedit. And $LANG is ASCII, if this matters. 2) The call setlocale (LC_CTYPE, C) did not work, although it returns its second argument. 3) The call setlocale (LC_CTYPE, POSIX) also did not work. It happens to return C. The above behaviour seems to disagree with the man page. Thank you again for your very prompt help.

Cygwin 1.7.1 sprintf() with format string having 8th bit set
Hello,
In Cygwin 1,7.1, sprintf() with the format string having an 8th bit set
appears to be broken. Sample code (where I've indicated the backslashes in
the comments, in case they are stripped out by the mailer):
#include stdio.h
int main (void)
{
unsigned char foo[30] = ;
unsigned char bar[30] = ;
unsigned char xxx[30] = ;
sprintf (foo, \100%s, ABCD); /* this is backslash one zero zero */
sprintf (bar, \300%s, ABCD); /* this is backslash three zero zero */
sprintf (xxx, \300ABCD); /* this is backslash three zero zero */
printf (%d %d %d %d %d\n, foo[0],foo[1],foo[2],foo[3],foo[4]);
printf (%d %d %d %d %d\n, bar[0],bar[1],bar[2],bar[3],bar[4]);
printf (%d %d %d %d %d\n, xxx[0],xxx[1],xxx[2],xxx[3],xxx[4]);
return 0;
}
gives:
64 65 66 67 68
0 0 0 0 0
192 65 66 67 68
The second line of the output should be the same as the third.
This problem is likely to affect programs using xterm as a pseudo-terminal.
The number octal 300 (decimal 192) isn't significant here.

[ITP] efax 0.9a
Efax compiles with just a few changes, and seems to work well. VISTA has dropped support for Window's built-in FAX printer, except for the business version, so more people may find efax useful. However, it is marked as unstable in Debian, but I don't know of any alternatives. Also, it is in the Comm category, but this category seems to be absent from Cygwin. Is that just because no Comm packages have been included, or just efax use a different category? Joe Krahn

Upgrade broke Openbox
The upgrade yesterday did bad things to Openbox. See this screenshot for reference: http://w3.gwis.com/~slomojoe/images/openboxscreenshot.jpg The pager (the black rectangle at the bottom of the image) and the window decorations are black though the theme is configured to display light blue (see the lower corners of the xterm). The widgets (maximize/minimize buttons on the window, the pager switch window and switch workspace buttons) are garbled beyond recognition. The menu is displayed as a solid black rectangle. Submenus are broken as well. The menu still works. If I click in the right spot, it spawns a new xterm. I tried deleting my Cygwin directory and installing from scratch, but the problem persists. WindowMaker appears to work fine, so that's what I'm using for now. Any advice for getting openbox back?

(Perhaps something with domain controller security policy is affecting this...) Almost certainly so. Any tips on what other info I can look for would help. Use Process Explorer to look at the tokens of the two different processes (cmd launched by itself, cmd launched from bash) and see what's different. Just to follow-up on this... I recently came back to this problem. Dave's suggestion to use Process Explorer was useful in that it showed that bash was using some SysWOW64 DLLS. This reminded me that 64-bit Windows transparently redirects 32-bit apps from \Windows\system32 to \Windows\SysWOW64. The issue has nothing to do with permissions. Because bash is a 32-bit app, when it tries to look in \Windows\system32, the OS redirects that request to show instead \Windows\SysWOW64. There is a (64-bit) telnet.exe in system32 but no (32-bit) telnet.exe in SysWOW64. I introduced a red herring when I noted that a cmd.exe invoked from bash also exhibited the inability to list system32\telnet.exe. This is because a 32-bit bash will (by default) launch a 32-bit cmd.exe and, similarly, the attempt to view system32 from a 32-bit cmd.exe is transparently redirected to SysWOW64. You would think that to work around this you could use the 64-bit cmd.exe from bash by invoking via the absolute path C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe but the OS catches this too and you still end up with the 32-bit cmd.exe. You *can* fake out the OS by creating a substitute drive and access system32 that way subst x: c:\ dir x:\windows\system32\telnet.exe Or, from bash, you could use the UNC paths for the C drive like so ls //machine_name/c$/WINDOWS/system32/telnet.exe Reference the following threads: 9-Jan-06 Cygwin cannot find certain files under Windows 2003 7-Jun-07 Certain files in the system32 directory are not listed Joe -- 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/

registry's role, or must I install on client madhines
I have cygwin installed on a Windows share. I'm trying to use it from another Windows client machine (on which it was never installed) by simply running the bash executable using the UNC path (//share/cygwin/bin/bash.exe -l -i). This isn't working. I've tried a number of variations like: where my current working directory is (local or remote); starting bash in a local directory and then starting in the remote directory; trying various CYGWIN variables. In all cases the resulting environment for bash has a variety of problems, likely stemming from the fact that HOME and PATH do not get set up. No /etc/profile or .bashrc are processed. 'cd' works but only by using relative paths (../foo) but not absolute paths (/foo). I *can* see the filesystem (with echo * or something like ../bin/ls). I've also tried setting up the Windows client machine to map a network drive so that the client machine has the same drive letter and directory structure as the master machine (ie, G:/cygwin). No joy. I had wanted to avoid installing cygwin on all the client machines but this is beginning to seem less possible. The only other thing I can think of is that the registry is being set up when you do an install and that these registry entries are required when bash is invoked. Are registry entries referenced when running bash? Is it possible to setup cygwin so that it may be used from a share without having been installed on the client machine?

This may not be the most interesting experiment because this means that everything under the make will have affinity to a single processor, including the Visual Studio tools. All that will be running on the other processor will be background system processes (of which Windows has more than a few). This does make the experiment quite easy.

No, I haven't tried this, and I'm not sure exactly how I would do this.

Re: DualCores and Current Cygwin problems
I think the following sad story should shed a little light on this issue. I'm attempting to use cygwin to provide the UNIX-like build environment to build Java SE on a DualCore system. Relevant configuration details: AMD X2 5200+ Asus M2NPV-VM 2 Gb ECC memory (std. clocks) I'm working to improve the documentation for the Java SE build, so I know *exactly* what's on the system. The installations are: 1) Windows XP, fully updated 2) Visual Studio .NET Professional (2003) 3) Microsoft Platform SDK (2004 - *not* R2) 4) Microsoft DirectX SDK (Summer 2004) 5) Sun Java 6 SDK (1.6.0_01) 6) Cygwin (current) That's it. No additional software components. None. With this configuration, I get random can not fork: Resource temporarily unavailable errors when trying to perform the fairly large and complex product build. I also get dup_proc_pipe failures, which are fairly random, but tend to be understandably associated with long pipes in the build process. If I add /ONECPU to boot.ini, neatly turning my DualCore system into a single core system, the failures all magically disappear. This would tend to indicate that there is a multi-threading issue either in cygwin or in the underlying Windows XP operating environment. It hopefully also provides a work-around (abet a somewhat painful one). It's probably worth trying by all who have been reporting this failure. If it doesn't eliminate the failure for you, its an indication that there may be multiple failures involved. - cheers and good luck (these are hard problems to track down), - Joseph Kowalski -- 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/

Congrats on figuring the problem out so quickly. Forgive my lack of familiarity with the cygwin development process (and cygwin in general), but as you've seemingly isolated root cause, do you feel that a point fix should be forthcoming shortly or do you feel as though this problem might persist for some time? Also, do you believe that fixing this problem in the cygwin dll will solve the extent of vista incompatibilities or do you think that Vista64 functionality is going to require additional fixes? Yes, it's sort of a request to speculate a bit, but I'm trying to ascertain whether I should continue my little project on Vista32 for a short while until a Vista64 fix or if I should abandon my project that triggered this bug in the first place.

The good news is, it's quite easy to reproduce since it occurs all the time, so I started to debug this. The bad news is that I have no idea why happens what happens. What happens is this: Basically, when forking a process Cygwin calls CreateProcess, starting the current application another time and then parent and child fiddle with the shared handles and memory to give the child an up-to-date, forked-like outfit. This however requires a way to propagate information to the child process which allows the child to do certain actions at a very early stage of initialization. The way to do this is to utilize the STARTUPINFO given to the CreateProcess call. One parameter in there is called lpReserved2, which is, for instance, also used by the MSVCRT C runtime library to propagte information to child processes. Well, we are our own C runtime. Cygwin processes are not linked against MSVCRT for that reason, so it's safe to use lpReserved2 for our own, dubious purposes. The child calls the GetStartupInfo function and gets all information needed. Not so under Vista x64. The child calls GetStartupInfo and gets a valid result, with an apparently also valid lpReserved2 pointer. At least the pointer points to something valid within the child's address space. Unfortunately, what it points to is only filled with zeros. The information expected at this point is just not there anymore. This in turn leads to the above result. So far I know that it has nothing to do with being started by a 64 bit process and I also know that this is not a generic problem with the lpReserved2 member in Vista WOW64 processes. as a simple testcase(tm) showed. So, as for the why... I'm quite puzzeled.

RE: huge font as default?
You can change the starting font by adding it to the file ~/.Xresources. I use the line XTerm.*.font: 9x15 to get the appearance I want (I think this is the same as the Large font). Use the command xlsfonts to get a complete list of available fonts.

Looking For Clipboard Solution
Hi All, I'm running Cygwin X on a Dell/Windows XP to get a full Xsession on a Solaris box and occasionally my X clipboard fails to work between X and MS Windows. It takes quite some time (weeks) for it to happen. The MS Windows clipboard continues to work withen itself and the X clipboard continues to work withen itself (other X Windows) but they don't work with each other. Once it fails I need to restart the X Server in it's entirety to get X clipboard and MS Windows clipboard to talk to each other. I installed this Cygwin about 8 months ago from one of the Cygwin setup mirror sites. I am using the -clipboard option to XWin: XWin -nodecoration -emulate3buttons -clipboard -silent-dup-error -query my_solaris_box Is there a way that I can recover clipboad functionality between X and MS Windows WITHOUT RESTART of entire X Server? Also, I really don't want to take the time to do an entire Cygwin re-installation now, but would like to know if there is a quick simple fix.. I appreciate your advice.

File permissions and VSS failure
Summary: I dropped a long way down the rabbit-hole on this one. I finally found the problem, and what initially seemed like a boneheaded Cygwin bug turns out to be an annoying fact of life. It has to do with file permissions and broken Windows software, specifically Visual Source Safe (VSS). But it also applies to most Windows software that attempts to modify file permissions. I found the FAQs suggestive but not helpful enough, since they didn't lead me to understanding the problem well enough to work around it with confidence. I probably did not go far enough back in the archives, so if I'm ignoring a brilliant treatise on this subject, I apologize in advance. Background: I use tar to package a set of files on Unix boxes (multiple flavors), and 'download' them to my NTFS WinXP Pro box under Cygwin, where I maintain them using Windows-style tools, including Microsoft Visual Source Safe. Then, I 'upload' them back to the Linux box, where they get compiled and executed. When I 'download' files from Unix, the permissions somehow get messed up, and VSS balks with an error 'Access to file 'whatever' denied. The MS Help claims this is permissions or a file-locking problem. It turns out, it's a permissions problem, but it's deep in the bowels of the software. Solution: When Cygwin is done touching the files (e.g. tar), you MUST override the original Unix permissions and make the files writeable under Cygwin. This will cause VSS to complain mightily about writeable files in some instances, but you can either override the complaint manually in VSS, or write a simple Windows program to make all the affected files Read-Only, which you can use AFTER you've used Cygwin chmod to make the file writeable. This solution also applies to any older Windows software that attempts to make a Read-Only file writeable. Details: I eventually reverse-engineered the mechanism that Cygwin uses to store its permissions on Windows NTFS. Given the number of queries on the FAQ about file permissions, I was surprised to find few authoritative or detailed responses. Cygwin creates and uses three NTFS security ACLs on each file it handles, for three different MS security SID values: one is the well-known group SID 'Everyone' (used for the Unix 'all' permissions), one is a group named 'None' (used for the Unix group permissions), and one is a user equal to the current user (used for the Unix user permissions). Each ACL sets separate NTFS permissions on the file analogous to the Unix permissions bits, which not only store the permissions for display, but actually enforce them under NTFS. The NTFS ACLs provide a lot of permissions for controlling access. For files and directories, the relevant ones are: 0001 Read Data 0002 Write Data 0004 Append Data 0008 Read Extended Attributes 0010 Write Extended Attributes 0020 Execute 0040 Delete Subdirectory 0080 Read Attributes 0010 Write Attributes 0001 Delete 0002 Read DAC 0004 Write DAC 0008 Write Owner 0010 Synchronize 00020088 is the minimal pattern for files, present when there are no Unix permissions. Without these (Read EA, Read Attr, Read DAC) you would not be able to determine whether you had permission to discover your permissions. The owner always has a slightly higher minimal set of 001F0110, which allows the owner to change ownership, delete the file, and change all permissions. The Unix execute bit maps to 0020 (Execute), read to 0001 (Read Data), and write to 0006 (Write and Append Data). So far, so good. Because of the way ACLs interact with each other, there can be a rather complex mess of 'grant' and 'deny' ACLs, but the use of the bits is pretty straightforward. Now, here's the rub. There is also the normal attributes mask, which is what almost all of the generic Windows software, such as VSS, uses exclusively to determine whether the file is writeable. There is a single bit in the normal attributes called Read-Only. This is the bit reflected in the Properties dialog box for the file, as well as the file attributes acquired through Windows calls to GetFileAttributes() and GetFileAttributesEx(), and also the Windows POSIX library _stat() and _chmod() calls. None of these calls will tell you anything at all about the ACLs on the file, and therefore they will tell you nothing about the Cygwin file permissions. Getting into the NTFS ACL calls is the usual slog through the Microsoft maze of horrors, and is not for the faint of heart: see closing notes. In particular, software like VSS will attempt to modify the file permissions so that it can manage the file. When a file is checked out under VSS, it is made writeable, meaning the Read-Only bit is cleared. When it is checked in, the Read-Only bit is set. However, VSS does not make changes to the NTFS ACL permissions. I doubt that it even knows about them - it's very old, pre-NT software.

sshd and network share permissions
Hello, I've been through the list archives and have googled fairly heavily and am up against a wall. I've set cygwin sshd up according to the following (which seems to be what is posted to the list at various intervals). http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-sshd.html I'm having a problem gaining access to remote shares. Attached is my cygcheck out and I'll add the following: 1) Logged in as a normal user, I find that attempts to net use resources on samba shares and I see: Username MY.AD.DOMAIN\WIN007$ is invalid on this system Windows shares generate similar errors in the eventlog as the machinename WIN007 is carried over instead of a proper username. I've looked through the archives and the general discussion indicates that this breakage happens when folks are using RSAAuth...I am not. I've forced passwd auth, and I've restarted sshd without success. Is this a symptom of sshd running as SYSTEM? There is a single public share I do have access too, and mounting that shows that on the unix side my permissions are mapped and look like I should have r/w access. In practice, however, I do not. Similar errors as the above samba error show up in the event log for the 2k3 host doing the file serving. Additionally: If I do navigate to a public mountpoint and find a spot I have write access to, what I see happen is that when I create a file, from the ssh'd shell, things look as I would expect as far as ownership goes: ex: -rw-r--r-- 1 user_wa Domain Users 0 Apr 6 09:53 test If I go there and look from a local shell: -rwx--+ 1 ??? Domain Computers 0 Apr 6 09:53 test (user_wa is an Admin) Clearly the perms I think are applied are not, and I must have something misconfigured of I'm misunderstanding something. Am I miss understanding something about ntsec or smbntsec in this instance? As a little background, I'm a Unix Admin trying to create a unixified win host to do some management design, so, the nuances of win security are a bit new to me.

Plotting from Python on Cygwin/X
My team has begun development of a new project to be written in Python. One of our requirements is that we be able to generate some relatively simple plots and save them in PNG or JPEG format. I've looked at three possibilities so far and encountered problems with all of them. I started by looking at gplt from SciPy (version 0.3.2), but as far as we've been able to determine, it is lacking some of the features we need, especially the ability to do multiplot. I next took a look at Gnuplot-py. It installed easily, but the provided demo failed to run. I may try to resolve the problem if I find time, but for now, I hesitate to spend much more time on it if the demos won't run. The third package I've looked at so far is matplotlib. We might be able to get by for awhile without a GUI agg backend, but I don't want to put myself in that corner. But GTKAgg depends on pygtk, which I've been unable to compile (I tried version 2.6.3 since Cygwin appears to use glib v.2.6.6), and using TkAgg fails to build when it tries to load Tk84.dll. Has anyone gotten one of these to work or found another package that works? Thanks. J.

30+ reasons why X-Win32 is Better than Cygwin/X
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I recently received a list entitled 30+ Reasons Why X-Win32 is Better than Cygwin/X. I don't know enough at the moment (though I am learning) about the Cygwin/X server to be able to understand some of the reasons. I have already created XWinLogon (http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/) and I am working to work on the Cygwin/X server so that all 30+ reasons will go away. Can someone please explain the following: 3-D Hardware Acceleration for OpenGL - I am told that Cygwin/X supports this, but I use XWin_GL.exe. What do they mean by this? GDI Acceleration of X Graphics Primitives - I'm assuming this is a direct translation of X drawing routines to Windows drawing routines? Like writing directly to the hDC? Compensation for Cable Modem NATs (IPsmar) - I will probably look this one up myself. Last Session Terminate Support - how might this be implemented?

When X is in windowed mode, it starts in background, but window is opened slightly later. Password dialog, on the other hand, already appears and gets obscured by the opened Xwin rootwindow, baffling the user and causing inconvenience. I believe that to solve this problem correctly, an option can be added to Xwin, making it run some program after all window initialization is completed. This program can then be implemented to provide nice authentication dialogs in whatever environment user wants - thus resembling commercial X server products such as starnet or wrq, but with improved flexibility.

of the x11 packages and all of the net packages. I configured SecureCRT
to allow X11 forwarding, but when I try to run a remote program, it says
it can't open the display.
When I log onto my remote server, I am instructed to set the DISPLAY
variable to ettin:15.0 or something similar. What is this? I'm not
exactly how to set the DISPLAY variables.

follow-up re textmode problem for relative paths, nobinmode env variable
a few weeks ago I asked about what mount commands to use in order to simulate the set-up I had on an older version of Cygwin which had textmode as the default for opening files I did not explicitly change the default mount settings from that version, which it reports as c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode, noumount) with the latest version that I have upgraded to however, there is no combination of mount commands that I can find that allows me to open all files in textmode by default in particular, if I mount / to be textmode, I can get this behavior only if I use the full absolute path of the file I am opening, but if I use a relative path specification, file is opened as binary data it would be great if I could set the CYGWIN environment variable to nobinmode in order to avoid this problem (and also to avoid having to set up mounts for every other drive besides C: that I might use), but doing so seems to have no effect I am not sure if this is a problem with how I am doing it, or if that setting for the environment variable is no longer honored someone who replied to my earlier post on this topic said that I should not expect the Cygwin module to support nobinmode in the environment variable anymore yet the lastest documentation I can find in the download package seems to indicate that this is supposed to still be a viable option any clarification on either of these 2 related points would be appreciated -- 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/

It takes about 10-20 times longer than a program which opens the same file with open and reads it with read. In the strace of this faster program, the time is dominated by calls to readv. In my original post I also included the output of cygcheck on my system. Please advise if I should post this again. Also if it would help to see the lines in the strace dump in context, as opposed to sorted by duration of each operation, I could post that. Based on the instructions listed at the problems.html webpage on the Cygwin site, I thought this was sufficient information to begin a request for assistance. I do not really understand what you are advising me to do beyond this when you say I should debug cygwin. I sure would appreciate some guidance in how to do this. Possibly I should add that I am comparing the behavior of version 1.5.10 to a much older version that I was using before. So whatever is causing this odd behavior on my system may not be a feature that was new to version 1.5.10. I am thinking somehow that it might in fact have something to do with how mounts are handled differently in more recent versions. Previously I did not have to mount any directories, now though I am having trouble finding any set of mount commands that will allow me to open files in text mode by default, which was how the earlier version of cygwin I had worked. Nor does setting the CYGWIN environment variable to nobinmode seem to have any effect.

One day a scrawny little man wearing thick glasses and a polyester suit came in and said in a tiny, squeaky voice, I'd like to try the bet.

But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.

Fix for sshd service start failure problem
For what it's worth, I think I've found a fix to a problem posted in October of 2002 in this thread: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00443.html Here's my version of the problem: After running ssh-host-config (and noticing two errors from chown about the system account), the sshd Windows service won't start, even though manually executing /usr/sbin/sshd works fine. I'm running the current openssh package, 3.7.1p2-2, on WinXP. All my other Cygwin packages are current (as of today). Here is the error message from sshd in the Windows application log (Event Viewer): sshd : PID 4320 : starting service `sshd' failed: execv: 1, Operation not permitted. The problem is that I didn't have the SYSTEM user listed in my /etc/passwd. I noticed that ssh-host-config had some issues with some chown calls at the end of its run. The application log message seems to come from the fact that the ownership is incorrect for the /var/empty directory (where sshd chroots to on startup, I gather). Here was the easiest fix for me: mypc$ mkpasswd -l | grep '^SYSTEM:' /etc/passwd mypc$ cygrunsrv -R sshd mypc$ rm /etc/ssh_host* /etc/ssh_config /etc/sshd_config mypc$ ssh-host-config By the way, don't forget to delete /var/run/sshd.pid, if it's still around. (It shouldn't exist if sshd exits cleanly.) I have some fuzzy memory that putting the SYSTEM user in /etc/passwd used to be a security issue in Cygwin. Just for safety, I removed the SYSTEM entry from /etc/passwd again after I had run ssh-host-config. Would anyone else care to comment one way or the other?

newlib math bug (fpclassify)
I've already posted this info to the newlib list along with a patch. Someone suggested I re-posting it here, since it affects development of scientific/mathematical software using Cygwin. Apologies if this is repeat information for anyone; this seemed to be a more appropriate forum than, say, cygwin-patches. newlib contains a bug in its math libraries that causes fmax() and fmin() not to handle negative numbers properly. I presume several other math functions are affected, as well. Specifically, the __fpclassifyf and __fpclassifyd functions incorrectly report negative numbers as NaNs. newlib 1.11.0 is affected; I presume prior versions are affected, as well. Version 1.3.22 of the Cygwin DLL is affected. The newlib cvsweb interface shows that the patch has been applied to the CVS tree.

-multiwindow + XP = nonstop Xwin.exe crashes
Hi. When I run Xwin in the experimental -multiwindow mode (xinit -- -multiwindow -clipboard), on Windows XP, Windows regularly throws up a dialog indicating that Xwin has encountered a problem and needs to close, inviting me to send an error report to Microsoft. Strangely enough, Xwin continues to work despite the error message (if I drag the dialog box offscreen so it doesn't get in the way.), with one exception: I can't change the window manager focus. Any keystrokes I type go into the window that was focused at the time of the error message, regardless of where I click. Even more strangely, the error message sometimes appears even when Xwin isn't presently active. The last crash message occured while I was browsing the web using a Windows-native build of Mozilla. (Most of my X programs are running on remote machines over SSH tunnels, if that might have anything to do with it.) Is this a known bug in Xwin? If it is not, any suggestions on how to diagnose it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, --Joe -- Joseph Barillari -- http://barillari.org
Installing cygwin NOT from web
Hi, I am trying to install cygwin on my computer at home, but I currently don't have an internet connection. I have been trying to work out what files I need to download for a full installation, but the website is not clear. Could you possibly confirm for me whether or not I need any files other than setup.exe to install cygwin?

setup.exe - 2.249.2.5 - Cannot get other packages not included in base install
I downloaded the setup.exe program from cygwin.com and tried to run setup. Setup worked great for the base packages, but I never saw an option for the other packages. I believe that the button is there, but is not in the window. I am running a Japanese version of Windows 98 and believe that this might have something to do with it. I can see that some of the text is cut off on the title screen right through the upper middle of the line that is a URL. I believe the URL is probably for redhat.com since the line above it is for the Red Hat copyright, but I cannot tell. I also noticed where I select the mirror I would like to download from that the text field to put a URL into is cut in half. I am not sure if this is a font issue or if it is a window size issue. Any suggestions as to how I can download the packages I want? [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

postgresql feature request
I would like the contrib code built into the postgresql binary package, or perhaps into a separate postgresql-contrib package.

Re: sshd: setgid() fails on second login
I have compiled and installed ssh.com's 3.2.2 ssh clients and daemon. I can start the daemon without a hitch. But the daemon is unable to authenticate the password, probably becasue the cygwin's libc password interface to the Win2K password authentication lib is not working. The ssh client re-prompts for the password 3 times, after which it bails out. The password I use is same as one I login into win2k with, with same user name. Has anyone been able to successfully connect to the ssh.com's sshd2 daemon running on Cygwin? Cheers, Joe __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

prob with Tcl glob command under Cygwin
I have downloaded the Tcl/Tk 8.3.4 package which was released with patches to compile under the cygwin C compiler for Windows OS, available from http://cygwin.com/ported.html For the most part this works except it seems to work better using the init.tcl file that comes with the Scriptics Tk 8.3.4 binary for Windows However, one big problem is that the glob command does not seem to work. Whether I call it with a wildcard in the file name pattern or a pattern that is just the actual name of a single file, regardless of if it is POSIX style path or Windows style path or just the file name of a file in the current working directory, calling it from a program or the Tclsh command line, no matter what it just returns an error saying there are no files matching the pattern. All other file system commands, shell commands via exec, etc, work okay, just not glob. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem and how it can be fixed.
