Re: OpenSSH ssh-agent regression in 5.9p1-1: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent error
28.01.2012 22:00, Philip Lowman: There appears to be a regression in the most recent OpenSSH cygwin package (5.9p1-1, built 1/18/2012) related to the ssh-agent program. I see that too. The ssh-add program is unable to add SSH keys because the ssh-agent program doesn't appear to be creating its socket file properly in /tmp. AFAIKT the socket file is created - but the ssh-agent process dies shortly after being started. 1. Install OpenSSH 5.9p1-1 in Cygwin (or upgrade to it) 2. Run the ssh-agent program spawning a bash shell $ ssh-agent bash This seems to happen only if ssh-agent is told to spawn another process. Running ssh-agent without arguments works fine for me. Platform: Windows 7 64-bit XP 32-bit here. Workarounds: Downgrade to OpenSSH_5.8p1 using Cygwin's setup.exe.

If I fix something, or change something, I wouldn't want to wait 6 months to release it, (ideally,) so if a change I make introduces an untested and unthought-of incompatibility I'm more likely to remember the changes that went into the code. Five-Six months later, on active code and the changes might as well have been made by someone else and I'm more likely to have to go in cold to figure out which change broke things for some isolated user test case. If there have been many changes, it's all the more difficult to find out which change introduced the problem (IMNSHO). I would take advantage of the Test release present in setup to give people time to check things, then rotate it into the Current slot, and the older one to Previous. I know other people have different working styles, but it helps to understand where they are coming from and their rationale for doing it the way they do it. Linda What is the difference between installing a test release of Cygwin and installing a snapshot of Cygwin (other than the mechanism by which you do it)? How would it help you if the current snapshot were made available as a release today? It would be as (un)stable as the snapshot it was packaged from. The Cygwin developers intentionally do not make snapshots installable via setup, because of exactly that mindset: releases are stable, snapshots aren't. If you got something via setup, you would feel you have the right to complain about it if something breaks and demand that it be fixed. If you install a snapshot, well, you were warned. You'd still complain (and we want you to), but you'll probably invest more effort in tracking down the problem and producing a simple testcase. Nevertheless I'd like to propose that the cygwin snapshots shouldn't merely be called snapshot in the future but stable snapshot.

In general I'm trying to have one home directory that is shared between Windows and Linux. On Windows I use Cygwin. Normally this involves mounting my Windows oriented home directory and proper generation of my domain userid in /etc/passwd. Here things are a bit different. My home directory here is on a Linux box running Samba. I login as domain\defaria on my Windows box. I have generated my /etc/password entry with mkpasswd -d -u defaria /etc/passwd. However the Linux box running Samba does not participate in a domain rather it is using a workgroup. I don't have access to a Samba mount point, so maybe my advice won't help much, but here goes anyways. The symptoms that I see are as follows: While I can create a file in my home directory I cannot edit it - access denied: $ cp opts.cfg opts.cfg.new cp: cannot create regular file `opts.cfg.new': Permission denied $ ls -l opts.cfg* -rw-rw-r-- 1 98 Feb 14 11:17 opts.cfg -rwxr--r-- 1 0 Feb 15 16:01 opts.cfg.new* You'll note that the uid and gid is not correct. First, have you run mkpasswd and mkgroup to create valid /etc/passwd and /etc/group files? Without a valid user database, cygwin gets lost when trying to check/display/modify permissions of an unknown user. http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkpasswd has more details on running mkpasswd. I've run mkpasswd but the real question I believe is what domain should I run mkpasswd for? As I stated above I have run it for the Windows domain that I log into. However, again, my home directory is served by a Linux box using Samba but that link box does not participate in the Windows domain that I log into rather it just runs in it's own workgroup. Don't know if this is of any help: you can set the SIDs for the user and the user's primary group on the Samba box with pdbedit ... -U SID -G SID ...

Re: Service not starting unless...
Larry Hall wrote: If you allow the service to interact with the desktop, the implication is that it wants to run something that would be visual on your desktop. It also has the disadvantage that the service will terminate when the desktop is closed (i.e. you log out), which is not usually what people expect from a service. Allowing a service to interact with the desktop doesn't necessarily mean that it will be terminated when when the user logs out. OTOH I don't understand what the Cygwin service is, the OP refers to. It might be the exception that really terminates on user log-off.

That's the behaviour I'm experiencing since I'm using xinetd. Wild guess: Maybe after startup xinetd forks a new process which does the aktual work and the originally started process is terminated. Therefore the servicemanager is led to think that the service itself did terminate. As stated above: that is just a wild guess.

Re: sed: altered results in bash and cmd

In general, and assuming PATHs etc correctly set, should not Cygwin command lines work identically in bash and cmd windows? Is this a problem with sed, with (my) command line syntax above, or with my understanding of what should work when? The difference in behaviour you are seeing results from the difference in the way cmd and bash interpret command lines and pass the resulting arguments to the specified commands. Compare: C:\E:\cygwin\bin\echo.exe '/^ .*$/d' / .*$/d C:\ to: mks ~ $ /cygdrive/e/cygwin/bin/echo.exe '/^ .*$/d' /^ .*$/d mks ~ $ As you can see, the '^' isn't passed to echo.exe by cmd. I'm not really sure but I think cmd doesn't treat single quotes as quoting characters - at least not in the way bash does. If you use double quotes, it shout work in cmd: C:\E:\cygwin\bin\echo.exe /^ .*$/d /^ .*$/d C:\ BTW: '/^ /d' shoud be enough to achieve what you are trying to.

The two programming models (Win32 and POSIX) are fundamentally different, so based on my very limited understanding, it seems that Cygwin itself (code in Cygwin1.dll) would have to intercept these OS-generated events and translate them into POSIX signals (SIGUP, say). Makes sense to me! I would suspect that when one clicks on the close button in the window frame that generates a Windows event that is translated somehow to send a kill signal to the shell. If true then there is already a mechanism for Win Event - POSIX signal.

cygwin-1.5.0-1: Problem stat-ing big file
While trying if the new support for files larger than 2GB works, I
created a file with a size of 4.53 GB (4,869,120,000 Bytes) using a
simple write in python. No problems here. But when stat-ing the file
with python's os.stat or by calling stat from C as done in the little
program below, the size of the file gets reported as 574,152,704 Bytes.
#include stdio.h
#include sys/stat.h
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
struct stat s;
stat(argv[1], s);
printf(Size of file %s: %ld, argv[1], s.st_size);
return 0;
}
What I also found interesting is the output of ls. While the size
reported next to the file (big.bin) is wrong, the total seems reasonable:
$ /bin/ls -l /cygdrive/c
total 4755283

Mixing old Cygwin headers with the new import lib or vice versa are sure candidates for segmentation fauls. - Since off_t is now 64 bit and the st_size member of struct stat is a off_t, your printf isn't correct: printf(Size of file %s: %lld, argv[1], s.st_size); %lld is necessary. %ld matches 32 bit types on Cygwin.

This was a substantial effort on the part of Corinna Vinschen who deserves major kudos for her work (which was entirely volunteered). Corinna deserves five gold stars for this work. It *really* was not an easy task. Anyway, expect a testing version of 1.5.0 soon. Just to whet your appetite a little, [...] You definitely did wet my appetite a lot. And I guess it is high time to say the big thank you I owe to the contributors to cygwin who made it invaluable to me. Thanks to all of you for your efforts and work. So, barring any problems, expect a test (aka Exp) version of the cygwin DLL soon. Since you are going to release a test version, I guess this test version is intended, well, for testing.

So, setup seems to have done it's job as good as can be expected when run by a user with local admin but no domain rights. - create /etc/postinstall/testchown.sh with the contents you posted, - chown it to 544:545, - chmod it to a+rwx, - start setup.exe as non-privileged domain user, - Install program as... box comes up, - use credentials of local admin, - leave package list as is, - setup says that nothing was to be installed, - in /etc: $ cat testchown uid=500(mks) gid=513(Kein) groups=513(Kein),544(Administratoren),545(Benutzer) (Admin account is renamed, as you see) $ ls -l testchown -rw-rw-rw-1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 79 Mar 17 22:58 testchown I hope this will help.

There is (as always?) a registry entry related to the Group Policy: http://www.tburke.net/info/regentry/GPRef.htm#93546 (should check for Microsoft's documentation regarding this point - but I beleive him) There is also a knowledge base article with the same info: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310360 Just loosely related but also interesting: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314855 This clearly doesn't answer your questions where this feature is documented and whether it is language dependent but it hints at two more spots to look at when it's not working: - it might be turned off by Group Policy or the corresponding registry value, - setup.exe might reside on a network share meaning that the Install... dialog won't show up by default (could verify that behaviour on my machine). Here are some unproven opinions of mine (beware! yet to be verified): - Since setup.exe triggered this mechanism on a German windows, I doubt that this feautre is language-dependent. - To work properly, I think this feature relies on the secondary locon service (Run As service in W2k?). So if the dialog doesn't appear on some machine - even though the user has *not* at least power user rights - the first thing I'd check is wether the secondary logon service is running. - As mentioned above, I seem to remember that the dialog will not appear if you are power user or administrator (to me only the latter was obvious).

Well, the account that is proposed by default by the Run As dialog ist the local Administrator. Running under that account setup will alomost certainly fail to create the domain relevant information in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. But I will try and verify that next week.

So i guess the problem of bash not finding some executables when logged in with other credentials should be gone now. Most files seem to have no permission for others. Great. Note that setup.exe respects the inherited access rights definedon your system (where Everyone apparently has no access). Only the *display* has been improved. Exactly: No ACE for Everyone. Thanks for clearing that up. Since I did the installation logged in under an administrator account there wasn't any need for setup to ask wether it should run as Administrator - and it didn't ask. Too bad :( This behavior has only been reported a few times, I'd like to understand it! The way setup behaved is exactly the way I expected it to and the way I would consider right. But you seem to consider this a problem. Obviously I did miss the point here - maybe we are talking about different things. It's not about the Select Root Install Directory dialog where you can select to install for All Users or Just Me, is it? I just started setup under a non-privileged account and XP's mechanism to show the Run as Administrator dialog when starting a program called setup.exe or install.exe kicked in. Maybe this is what you meant? If so - it worked for me.

Re: Terminal output from ssh much slower than putty
Erik Vigmostad wrote: Is there some way to speedup the output to my terminal? I would like to use cygwin for ssh'g to various servers, but it is so much slower that using putty that I can't. I found that Windows XP's Clear Type font smoothing algorithm makes rxvt virtually unusable on my machine at work. Chaning the AA setting to Standard made me happy again. But that may be a very special case, since this machine is a dual proc dual screen system with a TNT2 and a Voodoo3 graphics card - doesn't make it really easy for windows I think. OTOH: on my machine at home - single proc, single GF card - I am quite happy with Clear Type and the performance of rxvt. I sure don't know if you're in a similar situation as I am at work but if you're using XP and Clear Type it's at least worth a try switching it off / to Standard.

Re: Cygwin crashes on .Net Server 2003 with Terminal Services enabled
Christoph Hense wrote: I try to use cygwin on a .Net Server 2003 RC2 with Terminal Services enabled. However none of the cygwin tools work. All of the commands like ls, ps, pwd just return tons of error messages. If I deinstall the Terminal Services cygwin runs o.k. I am also able to run cygwin on a Windows 2000 Server with Terminal Services enabled. I uses Cygwin 1.3.20-1. For instance if I run pwd on a command line I get: 27308584 [unknown (0x878)] ? 2164 handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state (probably corrupted stack) 27312569 (same message repeating over and over with different numbers at the beginning). Does anyone have any idea? cygwin works like a charm on my .NET Standard Server 2003 RC2 with remote desktop enabled. I have not enabled the real terminal services though, since I don't run the machine as an application server, and with remote desktop I can have (at least) two concurrent RDP sessions - which is enough for my needs.

Re: remapping Cygwin 'bash' readline functions to PC keys
Lee D. Rothstein wrote: John, thanks for the C-V heads up! Others had suggested, variations of 'cat foo' and 'od -c'. (The former I got to work, the latter remains a mystery.) Your solution, besides being the most straight-forward, is also a great tool to have around. Apparently, it's a feature of Cygwin, or 'bash', since it doesn't work in a naked 'cmd.exe' window. I'll be sure to add it to my documentation. Unfortunately the key combos I'm trying to map to are: ^-- and ^-- (control- and the right and left arrow keys). It turns out that the character string outputs for both the: * naked key * shift - and the naked key * control- and the naked key are all the same. 'od -c' remains a mystery to me too - I guess I'll understand how that command works sometime later this century. But since I too am strongly interested in putting the Ctrl-Arrow keys into buisiness (as previos-word, next-word), I tried the Ctrl-V trick. It worked - thanks to John from me too. This is what I got: plain left: ^[[D shift-left: ^[[d ctrl-left: ^[Od (it's a capital O contained in there - not the number zero) So I added these lines to my .inputrc to get the wordwise movement using Ctrl-arrow: \eOd: backward-word \eOc: forward-word All the way long I have been talking about rxvt, of course. Regards mks Actually, I no longer consider these to be KIDs; these are the character string graphemic outputs of hitting the key. I'll continue to reserve KIDs for when one represents these [and the key isomorphisms] with '/e...', 'C-...', etc. notation. Apparently (?), the only way to discriminate among these three alternatives is with Scan Codes. Apparently, all the -x-ish stuff I've used (Microemacs, Thompson shell command line editing) that can discriminate among the three alternatives all use Scan Codes (?). - Any way to map to Scan Codes to 'bash' 'readline' functions under Cygwin? + Or to key names like: 'CTRL-left-arrow', 'CTRL-HOME' - Any interest among Cygwin developers in adding this?
