Re: Problem using cygwin with ClearCase 4.1
Is your CYGWIN environment variable set to ntsec? In my experience with Clearcase and cygwin, cygwin can do permissions on NTFS, but has weird errors on things like MVFS and Samba shares. I would not be surprised if TAS ran into similar weird permissions problems when using cygwin. Have you tried creating the file with another command, like: echo file.txt Does that result in the same permissions? Have you tried touching the file and then chmod-ing it? Have you tried creating a view stored on the windows box- does it have the same results? HTH, Peter Sharona Rozmaryn wrote: Hi. We have a group of developers using cygwin with Windows, as well as ClearCase. The ClearCase data (VOBs and Views) are stored on UNIX servers. In order to access the UNIX servers, we use TAS 6.1, which allows transparent access between the UNIX server and the PC clients. This group of developers is trying to build software from Windows. Their build script has a touch command which works OK outside of ClearCase, but with ClearCase, it somehow does not recognize the umask of 002 so it makes the permissions read only. The file that is touched get created, but there is a permission error that causes the build to fail. Do you have any ideas about how to fix this problem?

Re: .bashrc not getting sourced?
IIRC, if you check the archives, you should find that the behavior of sourcing the .bashrc file in /etc/profile was discontinued in later cygwin releases. The fact that you have it from over a year ago is probably because the cygwin install does not overwrite files that have been modified or exist previously. HTH, Peter Randall R Schulz wrote: Roland, My /etc/profile contains exactly the line you quote. It is the last line of that file, immediately following a cd $HOME command. This file bears the modification date May 10, 2001. It may be a coincidence, but that's right when I installed Cygwin for the first time on what was then a new, clean Windows 2000 Professional installation on this disk.

debugging an rm/sh/make/cygwin corner case
I am hoping some people can give me ideas on how to debug a problem I am having with rm when invoked from cygwin's make.exe, which is using sh as its shell. Basically, when I call rm -r -f from a makefile, it gives me errors about Permission Denied, Directory Not Empty. This is the same error that I get when I try to manually rm a directory when I have a separate shell cd'd there. I think that somehow make or sh are cd'ed into the directory I am trying to rm, so it cannot be removed. I am a newbie at debugging, so I am looking for specific ideas to try to narrow down the problem to one particular thing; i.e. sh, make, rm, or cygwin1.dll. I have tried replacing rm and the cygwin1.dll with different versions, but I get the same error. I also tried replacing sh with bash, same error. I plan on trying different versions of make and sh, but if anyone can suggest what to strace or which files I can plug printfs into, I would really appreciate it.

Do you have a correct /etc/passwd file? That file lists your home directory, but if cygwin cannot access your home dir, it might give that error. Also, is $HOME defined in your environment?

Re: Prompt question
Aha. Sounds like it might be a problem with the space in the name. I am not sure how to work around that with mkpasswd. But you could probably do a mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd (I didn't realize you weren't in a domain environment). You can also try Corinna's suggestion about mkpasswd -u Barry Goldstein /etc/passwd, or maybe mkpasswd -u Barry\ Goldstein /etc/passwd. Note that the space needs to be quoted. About the colors, are you checking off modify the shortcut which started this window? It sounds like you are only modifying the one window, and so the next command window has the same bad colors.

Re: anybody else also infected
I think we do read the faq differently- when it says antivirus programs have been known to report false positives when extracting compressed tar archives and consider disabling your anti-virus software when running SETUP, I don't associate that with getting a false positive when *not* running setup, or when *not* extracting compressed tar archives. The directions in the next questions My computer hangs when I try to run setup.exe would not have avoided this type of false positive- namely when the realtime scanning pops up and quarantines a dll whenever it is run. I am in favor of a more general faq in light of this *new* development and *new* type of false positive- I don't know what the chances are of this happening in the future, but I would put it in the faq as a note, NAV has had false positives in the past on cygwin dlls, please remain calm with your seatbelts fastened. I agree about the healthy skepticism- this was obviously a false positive from the very start, but I don't think the faq addresses this type of false positive. -Peter Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) wrote: OK, perhaps you and I read the FAQ differently. I read it to indicate that you should assume that any reported infection from Cygwin files are false until you can determine otherwise. To me, it's worthwhile to inform the list of viruses in any Cygwin related software if the virus is real. However, allot of posts about the potential of a virus isn't really helpful to anyone and can lead newbies to panic, adding to the list volume. Personally, I've never seen a single confirmed virus in any Cygwin software in the more than 6 years I've been using it, though I've seen many a report of viruses (hence the FAQ entry about them). So I view all Cygwin virus reports on this list with a bit of healthy skepticism, unless there is evidence to support doing otherwise.

Re: no output from net.exe
ntea makes you have less usable disk space- it creates a big file

The windows machine in question is running Windows 2000, and is using NTFS.
Look at this:

{2} ls -l

{3} echo $CYGWIN
binmode ntea
{4} umask
077
{5} touch blah
{6} ls -l

{7} chmod 644 blah
{8} ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--1 ntroot Administ0 Jan 18 14:38 blah
{9} export CYGWIN='binmode ntsec'
{10} ls -l
-rwxrwxrwx1 Administ Administ0 Jan 18 14:38 blah
{11} export CYGWIN='binmode ntea'
{12} ls -l
-rw-r--r--1 ntroot Administ0 Jan 18 14:38 blah
{13} export CYGWIN='binmode ntsec'
{14} ls -l
-rw---1 ntroot Administ0 Jan 18 14:39 blah
{15} chmod 755 blah
{16} ls -l
total 0
-rwxr-xr-x1 ntroot Administ0 Jan 18 14:39 blah
This experiment shows that 'ntea' and 'ntsec' can both set
permissions properly on NTFS. It also shows that the modes will
look different from 'ntsec' if set by 'ntea' (and visa versa).
I don't know what you mean by saying that it's much better
to use 'ntsec' on NTFS. I realize that the Cygwin User's Guide
(http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html)
about the CYGWIN environment variable states that with 'ntsec'
set, the file permissions can only be set on NTFS partitions.
The guide also says that the 'ntea' option only operates under
Windows NT (but clearly, it operates under Windows 2000).
But the guide doesn't say that one is better. I may be completely
missing something (in reading and knowledge), so please advise...
I apologize in advance if I am wrong about what I have written.

Re: Can't spawn shell for authenticated user in SSHD (revisited)
I am taking a wild guess- when you ssh in, it spawns a shell and then still does some ssh-ish tasks. Maybe it can't complete them from the command shell. Are you logging in or just firing off remote processes? It might be worth trying to set your shell to /bin/bash, ssh in and see if you can then start a command shell. Maybe- ssh machine cd /cygdrive/c/path-to-batch-file; cmd /c mytest.bat; sleep 2 (the 'sleep x' might not be necessary with ssh, but it is with rsh if you want all the output from the last command) I don't have sshd running anywhere remotely, but I can rlogin to a machine running inetd, it starts a bash shell, and then I type cmd and it gives me a command shell.

John Fishbeck MSU Physical Plant Computer Systems I want merely the ability to do limited remote WINNT command prompt sys administration tasks without exposing myself to the plain text and implementation vulnerabilities of telent server; i.e., I want to launch /winnt/system32/cmd.exe upon logging in via a SSH client to SSHD on an NT 4.0, SP 6 system. To that end I used the cygwin setup program to download and install from the Internet the openssh package. This process apparently worked correctly, as I can get components, including sshd, running. In fact, launching sshd in debug mode, I can use a ssh client on another machine and successfully (apparently, from the debug trace) authenticate to sshd. However, it looks as though when sshd proceeds to spawn my shell, there is some sort of a process launch/communication failure, with the following debug text emitted from sshd: Accepted password for Administrator from 35.10.77.61 port 1540 ssh2 debug1: Entering interactive session for SSH2. debug1: server_init_dispatch_20 debug1: server_input_channel_open: ctype session rchan 0 win 8192 max 8192 debug1: input_session_request debug1: channel 0: new [server-session] debug1: session_new: init debug1: session_new: session 0 debug1: session_open: channel 0 debug1: session_open: session 0: link with channel 0 debug1: server_input_channel_open: confirm session debug1: session_by_channel: session 0 channel 0 debug1: session_input_channel_req: session 0 channel 0 request pty-req reply 0 debug1: Allocating pty. debug1: session_pty_req: session 0 alloc /dev/tty0 debug1: session_by_channel: session 0 channel 0 debug1: session_input_channel_req: session 0 channel 0 request shell reply 0 0 [main] sshd 290 sync_with_child: child 300(0x148) died before initialization with status code 0x80 304 [main] sshd 290 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp Disconnecting: fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable debug1: Calling cleanup 0x414188(0x43e794) debug1: session_pty_cleanup: session 0 release /dev/tty0 debug1: Calling cleanup 0x41eb24(0x0) debug1: channel_free: channel 0: server-session, nchannels 1 debug1: Calling cleanup 0x4169cc(0x0) The /etc/passwd entry for the user I'm logging in as looks like this: Administrator:/c:/c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe and my mount environment looks like: C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode) c: on /c type system (textmode) It appears to me from the debug output that the cmd.exe process does get launched, but then something goes awry, and I have been unsuccessful in resolving this. Can anyone help me with this? I did try to search the archives for references to this problem, but found nothing that seemed to be an exact match to this scenario. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Your mouse has moved.

Re: path problems when logged in through ssh
What is your system path? It looks rather unusual. Maybe there is a problem with it. HTH, Peter C.

I did find the solution, which is to put /bin in my .bashrc. I did not have it there because it was never needed before. For some reason, now it is.

Re: network package problem ((
You only installed the latest inetutils package? It could be that you didn't install all the packages necessary to run ftp. Setup.exe has changed considerably lately, it no longer installs all packages by default. You must select each package manually to install it. It could also be that iu-config sets the default inetd.conf file to disable ftp by default (did you run iu-config?). Are you trying to run ftp as a service on your machine so you can ftp to your machine, or are you trying to ftp out? HTH, Peter llewellyn wrote: when i try to use ftp or telnet with newer version i got this error: ftp: ftp/tcp: unknow service with tftp also so its not tied to tcp service. but i can use tool like wget without pb. Any hint about that? what im doing wrong. for info: I'm using cygwin for a long time a never have this pb, i didnt change my configuration, neither install programs over the past few weeks, I only install the latest package. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Your mouse has moved.

Re: Can't find install-sh or install.sh
I think Chris is right that you have an old version of the sources, and you would be best off getting the new version. But if you still have the problem, you can create an empty install-sh or install.sh and IIRC this should fake configure into continuing. This is the case with some few other things that configure quits over, but YMMV and DTTAHK. HTH, Peter Stephen Rasku wrote: I am trying to modify the make program to add some extra diagnostics.
