cygwin 1.5.21 crashes
hello: I just reinstalled cygwin 1.5.21 version (full version). after rebooting when I click on the cygwin bash shell it imediately crashes. Older version of cygwin used to be running fine in my machine. I opened msdos command window and went to cgwin/bin directory. there was no bash there. I could start only zsh. tcsh also crashed. do I have something , may be reinstallation will help? thanx -- 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/
Re: sshd crahes; ssh instal fails
I cleaned and reinstalled and everything works fine now. thanx
my original problem might have been due to windows firewall.

Nothing in your cygcheck output seems out of the oridinary.
Normally the reason for the malfunction is listed in the Event Log,
which you need to check. There is a chance there is also information in
/var/log/sshd.log but this will only be the case if cygrunsrv itself
encounters an error (rather than sshd.)
In my experience almost all cases of sshd not starting are due to wrong
or incorrect permissions on some files. ssh-host-config ought to take
care of this for you. It could also be a software firewall that isn't
allowing the process to bind to port 22.
If you cannot figure out from the above what the problem is, I suggest
you remove all traces of the sshd service and re-run ssh-host-config.
To do this:
$ cygrunsrv --remove sshd
$ rm -rf /etc/{ssh_host_*,sshd_config} /var/{empty,run/sshd*,log/sshd*}
$ ssh-host-config
If you get any permission denied errors at the rm step you'll need to
chown the files before deleting them.

Re: sshd crahes; ssh instal fails
I installed it using the script ssh-host-config the script did not return any error messages The crash occurs after I try to start the service. I have installed ssh in my other window madhines using the same script with no problem . the only diffference is older versions of cygwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hello: > > I just downloaded latest version of cygwin.

Re: telnet - connection refused in windows xp home
I did the steps and when I did the netstat after rebooting I did not see the port 23. The event log also does not have anything unusual. Anyway the original problem in firing up inetd as an Administrator which I understand is not sufficient. I thought the permissions are not sufficient and you have to somehow look like the SYSTEM itself. > Hi, > > Go through these steps and see what happens: > > 1.

Re: telnet - connection refused in windows xp home
Hi, I think what you mean is that you do not have the means to set the local or domain security policy and give the user you want to run inetd as the *special* permissions required to RunAs service wise. This facility does not exist in the Home edition of Windows XP, where you can grant security policy permissions, but as I have heard it does support it in Professional. As you cant change these permissions you'll just have to use the LocalSystem (SYSTEM) account to run the inetd service. When using XP Home I was able to get all of the cygwin daemons I use (ftpd,inetd,sshd) running as well as they were on their Windows 2000 counterparts. The LocalSystem account is the default user to run a service as on Windows NT4/5 and XP.

telnet - connection refused in windows xp home
I am unable to use remote connection to my pc(s) running windows xp home. After going through the inetutils documentation, and looking at the services under windows xp, I can see that inetd is not running. I am also unable to start the inetd.

Thanx for the location of inetd. Now I am finding I cannot install inetd as a service because I presume I lack permissions even as an administrator. Unfortunaely i am in xp home and more complicated permissions are only possible in xp professional. Is there any way around it?

One of the pc's has inetd installed from an old version of Hummingbird exceed. The other pc has no inetd installed at the xp service level at all! However I cannot find any executable called inetd.exe in the /usr/bin in either of the computers. When I run iu-config, I find that all the configuration files are already in place. So can I resolve it by finding latest inetd.exe for win32 and installing it as a service? thanx -- 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/
