group names in /etc/passwd, ssh root login & more
Hallo, the cygwin user guide says its a feature that groups can be the owner of files. can somebody tell me why this is so when you can set the group attributes accordingly? also in linux you have a group "root" and a user "root". if both occur in your /etc/passwd file sshd won't allow "root" to login. :( only workaround i have is calling the "group root" admin instead of root. i find this very disturbing... any comments?

mod_auth_ntsec
Hi, I just mentioned the problem with mod_php4, the same applies to mod_auth_ntsec. However this time I extracted the mod_auth_ntsec.dll directly to /lib/apache/new and re-run: $ ./apache-mod_auth_ntsec.sh.done [activating module `ntsec_auth' in /etc/apache/httpd.conf] cp mod_auth_ntsec.dll /usr/lib/apache/mod_auth_ntsec.dll chmod 755 /usr/lib/apache/mod_auth_ntsec.dll cp /etc/apache/httpd.conf /etc/apache/httpd.conf.bak cp /etc/apache/httpd.conf.new /etc/apache/httpd.conf rm /etc/apache/httpd.conf.new ...which worked almost. The lines LoadModule ntsec_auth_module lib/apache/mod_auth_ntsec.dll AddModule mod_ntsec_auth.c are added to the httpd_conf, BUT the last line should be: AddModule mod_auth_ntsec.c small typo... :) Ciao Uwe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Nur tote Fische schwimmen mit dem Strom! -- 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/
mod_php4
Hi, there have been some problems installing mod_php4 with apache, using setup.exe. i had the problem previously and here is how you can install php anyways: what happens is that setup.exe installs mod_php4, returns and nothing. php doesn't work. what i did was: extract the libphp4.dll from your cygwin download directory into /usr/lib/apache/new run: $ /usr/sbin/apxs -i -a -n php4 libphp4.dll [activating module `php4' in /etc/apache/httpd.conf] cp libphp4.dll /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.dll chmod 755 /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.dll cp /etc/apache/httpd.conf /etc/apache/httpd.conf.bak cp /etc/apache/httpd.conf.new /etc/apache/httpd.conf rm /etc/apache/httpd.conf.new $ new/rebase.exe -d -b 0x6800 -o 0x1 /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.dll /usr/bin/cygbz21.0.dll /usr/bin/cygcrypto.dll /usr/bin/cygintl-1.dll /usr/bin/pq.dll /usr/bin/cygxml2-2.dll /usr/bin/cygz.dll d:\Cygwin\lib\apache\libphp4.dll: new base = 67ec, new size = 14 d:\Cygwin\bin\cygbz21.0.dll: new base = 67e9, new size = 3 d:\Cygwin\bin\cygcrypto.dll: new base = 67dd, new size = c d:\Cygwin\bin\cygintl-1.dll: new base = 67db, new size = 2 d:\Cygwin\bin\pq.dll: new base = 67d8, new size = 3 d:\Cygwin\bin\cygxml2-2.dll: new base = 67ce, new size = a d:\Cygwin\bin\cygz.dll: new base = 67cb, new size = 3 apxs should have added the lines LoadModule php4_modulelib/apache/libphp4.dll AddModule mod_php4.c to /etc/apache/httpd.conf, but it didn't add a mime type handler: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps Adding these worked for me.

compiling for cygwin in generall; compiling anacron;
Hi, I got two questions by my heart: First, if I successfully compiled a linux program for cygwin and it is running as expected, should I try to publish it so that it is available via the cygwin setup tool? I don't have much experience with this though (see 2nd question) but I'd like to help those who suffer from the same problems as I do. Second: Cygwin probably runs on many non-server windows boxes. For those the cron daemon poses the problem that regular sheduled tasks ain't run. Thus I searched for anacron, didn't find it and now I'm trying to compile it. I posted a question on problem with compiling clicq (see msg: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). Since then I read a paper on GNU make, so this should not be a problem any more. The problem occurs during make anyways: -- gcc -c -DSPOOLDIR=\"/var/spool/anacron\" -DRELEASE=\"2.3\" -DANACRONTAB=\"/etc/anacrontab\" -Wall -pedantic -O2 readtab.c -o readtab.o readtab.c:32:21: obstack.h: No such file or directory readtab.c:33:1: warning: C++ style comments are not allowed in ISO C89 readtab.c:33:1: warning: (this will be reported only once per input file) In file included from readtab.c:38: global.h:35:1: warning: C++ style comments are not allowed in ISO C89 global.h:35:1: warning: (this will be reported only once per input file) readtab.c: In function `read_tab_line': readtab.c:91: warning: implicit declaration of function `obstack_1grow' readtab.c:94: warning: implicit declaration of function `obstack_finish' readtab.c:94: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast readtab.c: In function `register_env': readtab.c:123: warning: implicit declaration of function `obstack_alloc' readtab.c:123: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast readtab.c:124: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast readtab.c: In function `register_job': readtab.c:155: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast readtab.c:159: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast readtab.c:162: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast readtab.c: In function `read_tab': readtab.c:236: warning: implicit declaration of function `obstack_init' readtab.c:242: warning: implicit declaration of function `obstack_free' readtab.c: In function `arrange_jobs': readtab.c:278: warning: implicit declaration of function `obstack_grow' readtab.c:282: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast /usr/include/stdio.h: At top level: readtab.c:41: storage size of `input_o' isn't known readtab.c:42: storage size of `tab_o' isn't known readtab.c:58: warning: `xmalloc' defined but not used make: *** [readtab.o] Error 1 -- I guess obstack.h is missing again.

compiling clicq, problems with c++
Hi,
I was trying to compile clicq, an icq client for linux, for cygwin.
However I'm a little new to C++ although not to programming in
general. Here is what I got problems with:
1. during make, gcc reported that the definition for AF_INET was
missing. since I knew it was located in socket.h I located it and
simply added an #include line.
How can it be that such a thing is missing in sources you download
from the web?
There were multiple socket.h files. I chose one which was located in a
*/cygwin/* path. Why different header files?
This problem seems to be solved.
2. make (or rather gcc) reports a number of problems like:
In file included from clicq.c:23:
cfg.h:14:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive
Although I'm sure there are no more characters after the #endif
directive. Whats going on here?
Since its only a warning I ignored those.
3. however, make still doesn't run through:
clicq.c: In function `main':
clicq.c:267: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
clicq.c:268: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
make[2]: *** [clicq.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/clicq-0.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/clicq-0.1'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
First point: why is line 267 not causing make to abord, but line 268
if both are "warning"s of the same type?
Here's the contents of those lines:
267:
rl_completion_entry_function = (Function*)&dummy_completer;
rl_attempted_completion_function = &my_completer;
where dummy_completer:
char *dummy_completer(char *text, int state) {
return (char*)NULL;
}
and my_completer:
char **my_completer(char *text, int start, int end) {
return complete_commandarg(rl_line_buffer, text, start, end);
}
I couldn't find the declaration of rl_completion_entry_function and
rl_attempted_completion_function. Are there any Tricks to find these?
I'd be thankfull for any help!
Ciao
Uwe

remotely executing windows applications
I have sshd installed on my win2k box. Together with cygwin, of
course. Recently I needed GUI access to my computer and after logging
in via ssh I run "cygstart winvnc.exe". The application started, but
did not show up in the system tray. However, it didn't accept
connections - although it was started (ps -aW). I couldn't kill it
though ("no such process").
Back at home I had the test: running "cygstart winvnc.exe" worked if I
was not logged on vie SSH.
Why didn't winvnc start up correctly? How do I change that?
Thanks

I guess that was it. rewriteDomain was set to m111.hadiko.de instead of hadiko.de. After I changed that the error message: /usr/sbin/ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept MAIL From, replied "553 5.5.4 ... Domain name required for sender address root". changed into: /usr/sbin/ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept RCPT To: command, replied "550 5.1.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown". which was a beginning. The only place where "admin" stood was the MAILTO=admin line in the crontab. I found out that the MAILTO env-var specified the To: field in the email. Setting it to "merkosh" would only work if there was a user [EMAIL PROTECTED] (user merkosh known to the smtp host). Setting it to an arbitrary e-mail adress would work if the address existed. According to /usr/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.38.7.README, setting MAILTO="" would send no mail and leaving MAILTO undefined will send an e-mail to user merkosh who's address is taken from the /etc/ssmtp/revaliases file (which works). However, this all would just work if #FromLineOverride=YES was commented out. Don't know why. Otherwise the "didn't accept MAIL From..." error occured. I probably send some time mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] during testing... ;) Well - Thank you very much again.

ssmtp and cron
Can somebody enlighten me how ssmtp and cron work together, please? F.e. what is the /etc/ssmtp/revaliases file for (which looks for me): admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:smtp.hadiko.de:25 merkosh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:smtp.hadiko.de:25 As far as I understood this, if mails are send *to* merkosh ssmtp would get the destination e-mail and smtp host from this file - right? But calling "/usr/sbin/ssmtp merkosh" from the command line won't work. (after supplying a dummy body) Then to the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf file (which looks for me): root=admin mailhub=smtp.hadiko.de rewriteDomain="Uwe Mayer" #or: rewriteDomain=m111.hadiko.de hostname=m111.hadiko.de FromLineOverride=YES admin is the login name of the administrator. So mails to root should be send to user "admin" and his e-mail is looked up in /etc/ssmtp/revaliases ?? Then the "sending mails from crontabs": My crontab contained: SHELL=/bin/bash MAILTO=merkosh * * * * * /usr/bin/date And I expected mails send to user "merkosh" (<- as in man 5 crontab) who's e-mail is looked up from /etc/ssmtp/revaliases...? This didn't work. I get a letter.dead file in my home folder and the following line in /var/log/cron.log: /usr/sbin/ssmtp: smtp server didn't accept MAIL From, replied "553 5.5.4 ... Domain name required for sender address root". What works is: * * * * * /usr/bin/date | /usr/sbin/ssmtp [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is unsattisfying, because it should work without the pipe... :( Any ideas?

crontab: no changes made
Hi, When I start "crontab -e" it won't run, because I haven't vi installed. I remembered reading something about an EDITOR or VISIBLE environment variable, though I couldn't find it any more. Thus I set export EDITOR=emacs Then crontabs starts up emacs, editing a temporary file (i.e. /tmp/cron.1900) However, when I close emacs (with or without saveing changes to the tmp file) crontab displays "crontab: no changes made to crontab". Where's the flaw?

invalid user?
Hallo, I installed sshd as 'cygrunsrv -I sshd -p /usr/sbin/sshd -a "-D -d"' - which worked. The server starts (cygrunsrv -S sshd) properly. Then I tried to connect: ssh localhost -l "Uwe Mayer" Where "Uwe Mayer" is my regular W2k login. The following is what was printed to the /var/log/sshd.log: Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 [..snip..] debug1: attempt 0 failures 0 input_userauth_request: illegal user Uwe Mayer Failed none for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method publickey debug1: attempt 1 failures 1 Failed publickey for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method keyboard-interactive debug1: attempt 2 failures 2 debug1: keyboard-interactive devs debug1: auth2_challenge: user=Uwe Mayer devs= debug1: kbdint_alloc: devices '' Failed keyboard-interactive for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 3 failures 3 Failed password for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 4 failures 4 Failed password for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 debug1: userauth-request for user Uwe Mayer service ssh-connection method password debug1: attempt 5 failures 5 Failed password for illegal user Uwe Mayer from 127.0.0.1 port 1605 ssh2 Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 debug1: Calling cleanup 0x41c9c0(0x0) debug1: Calling cleanup 0x41c9c0(0x0) ... what does "illegal user" mean?

My guess is that even supplying an alternative to the /etc/passwd file (i.e. U-uwe) won't permit me to login as "ssh localhost -l uwe" or? Can somebody please help me here?

Do you think that instead of trying to restrict access on /cygdrive/c in general it would be possible to just deny all access to a user or group? Not using Cygwin, but the W2k Security dialog. I'm even thinking about denying the group 'User'.

Ahh - I can help here. In the documentation for cygrunsrv (/usr/doc/Cygwin/cygrunsrv.README) under General Notes you'll see that the daemon has to be started without forking a child and then exiting - what usualy daemons do. Run "/usr/sbin/httpd -h" for help on httpd. There you'll see the switch for starting apache without forking into background is "-k" Use: "/bin/cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a '-k' " instead.

I installed W2k and all its programs as member of the Administrators group. Will Windows have set its own permissions propperly enough so that changing ownership from None to root (group Administrators) shouldn't be a problem? (where None is a user or group) I mean if I leave IUSR_M111 (don't really know why IUSR_M111 is group Users when he has access to SSH2 files...) and SYSTEM as it is. So far nothing should happen, because of the file permissions ?rwxrwxrwx. If I then change all permissions to 770 - will that work? Permitting execution to all files is dumb, but saver. However, newly creates files /installed programs will still have group None :( Are there good papers on windows (/Cygwin) file permissions?

file permissions for /cygdrive/c
Hi, I've got some questions regarding file permissions with cygwin under w2k (ntsec turned on). I want to use 2k together with cygwin while allowing other people to login via ssh onto my computer and would like to get the obvious loopholes closed. As a member of the administrators group all files created not under cygwin are owned by the group None. (--> User Guide) Since *everyone* is member of None he will be able to access the files /folder accordingly. Is there any way out of this except running cron to regularly chown these files? Also when creating a file i.e. from the cmd.exe (like dir >test) the file permissions are "inherited" from the folder even although "Allow inherritable file permissions" is turned off for that folder the file is created in. Is there any way out of that? I organized my PC into two partitions. C carries the w2k system and all the windows programs that need installation. D carries cygwin and all "private" data. is there any way to prevent other users from accessing a certain partition, i.e. /cygdrive/c/, creating new mountpoints, etc.? Thanks in advance!
