Fixed the ftp problem. It was an '=' vs. '==' transcription bug.
If I try the old rsh against your new daemons it seems to work:
06:53 PM [637] /bin/rsh [EMAIL PROTECTED] pwd
/home/vzell
Fixed this. The new version of rsh added a check to ensure that rsh.exe
client had the setuid bit ON (that is, its getuid() is 'root'), and
exited otherwise. Obvious that's wrong on cygwin. The only reason
'/bin/rsh [EMAIL PROTECTED]' (with no command) worked is because that is
implmented as 'exec rlogin' BEFORE checking the setuid -- and the
rlogin.exe client does not check that getuid() is 'root').
and in /var/log/messages:
Mar 18 18:53:28 localhost rshd: PID 160: 2nd port not reserved 1022
This was a red herring. Just a cut-n-paste error; this log message
belonged elsewhere in the code.
Mar 18 18:53:51 localhost rshd: PID 2948: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as vzell: cmd='pwd'
Normal log message when a rcmd/rexec/rsh fails. The failure was due to
the setuid thing, above.
By the way, for every telnet session I see the following two entries in
/var/log/messages
Mar 18 18:02:11 localhost telnetd: PID 180: ttloop: retrying
Mar 18 18:02:39 localhost telnetd: PID 180: child process 1180 exited: 0
Is this expected behaviour ?
Well, kinda. If your server is faster than your client...
// function io_drain //
again:
ncc = read (net, netibuf, sizeof netibuf);
if (ncc 0)
{
if (errno == EAGAIN)
{
syslog (LOG_INFO, ttloop: retrying);
goto again;
}
It just means that you tried to read from an empty but non-blocking
socket. I don't really like the way this is coded; it's a 100% busy
loop. But, that's why it's called ttloop (which is the only caller of
io_drain):
#define ttloop(c) while (c) io_drain ()
But ttloop is used rather sparingly -- for instance, while doing the
handshaking to set up the login prompt. Most of the time telnetd sits in
a select() loop.

RE: inetutils-1.5-2 test release
The test release of inetutils installs fine with setup. I tested it with my original xinetd setup (replacing the in.* daemons with the new ones). Authentication via ftpd does not seem to work in the new release: ... 530 Login incorrect. This is odd. ftpd works for me 1) on XP SP2, where inetd is installed as a service on its own, running under the local system account 2) on XP SP2, where inetd is installed as a service using cygrunsrv, running under the local system account 3) on XP SP2, where inetd is invoked via sysvinit's init process (/etc/rc.d/inetd), and were init is running under the local system account However, ftpd does not work if inetd is running under sshd_server/cyg_server/other_privileged_user -- so I assume it will not yet work under vista. But that issue is not a regression, AFAICT. What are the details of your installation? I don't need full cygcheck, just OS ver, user that inetd is running as, whether inetd is installed as a service on its own, under cygrunsrv, or via sysvinit's init service (and the user under which init is running), and an `ls -l' listing of /etc. Remote commands via the new rsh do not seem to work: rsh [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls /bin/rsh: must be setuid root. Hm. again, this works for me -- unless inetd is running under a privileged user. This is because rshd contains code to check the UID (against '18' == LocalSystem; it doesn't know how to deal with other privileged UIDs. But again -- the old rshd had the same limitation in the code, so I am a bit confused as to how it worked for you, before. Unless xinetd was running under LocalSystem, but inetd is not? Last question. What is .talkrc for ? I get the following in /var/log/messages when running talk. The man page says nothing. Mar 18 13:30:37 localhost talkd: PID 2132: can't open config file /home/vzell/.talkrc: No such file or directory You're right, this is not documented at all. 2001-10-25 Sergey Poznyakoff Talkd essencially rewritten. New feature: system-wide and user-specific access-control lists allow for controlling who and from where is able to request talks. Somebody also mentioned that error message (note the date): http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-inetutils/2002-09/msg00037.html but it was never corrected. Anyway, it seems that .talkrc is intended for per-user access control, like the `talkd --acl FILE' option is for site-wide access control. -a, --acl FILE read site-wide ACLs from FILE The format of the site-wide acl file and the per-user acl file is the same -- because it is parsed by the same code. However, the format isn't documented at all, either. Perusing the code, it looks like the format is: allow|deny RE INET [INET [INET ...] where one of allow/deny is required RE is a regular expression (regcomp() style) that is applied to the caller's username. Whether Extended RE patterns are allowed depends on the system implementation of regcomp. INET is a network address. It appears that any of these formats work: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.2 any but no dns lookups are possible. Both RE and (one of the) INET have to match for the specified rule (allow or deny) to apply. The default behavior is: allow * any I'll look into silencing that error message. BTW, I hadn't even gotten around to announcing this as an official test release yet. You're really on the ball... -- Chuck -- 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/
