I'm consistently getting a stack trace when attempting to run a command via ssh, using a dsa key, on a remote Windows Server 2003 SP2 x64 that has Cygwin sshd installed and configured. The error is occurring at the remote sshd process: $ ssh qaautotest1 ls 2 [main] sshd 3156 D:\c

grep problem?

2011-04-04 Thread Jim Garrison
I'm getting weird behavior from grep. Searching for a bracketed range of characters (i.e. [A-Z]) is doing case-insensitive matching, while an identical but explicit character set match (i.e. [ABCDE...Z]) does not. Examples below. Output of "cygcheck -s -v -r" attached. LANG=en_US GREP_OPTION

RE: entering special symbols in mintty

As to your specific request for the copyright symbol, try entering Alt+169 (no leading zero). This should result in the copyright symbol, since its Unicode code-point is 0xA9 or 169 decimal.

RE: entering special symbols in mintty

2011-03-02 Thread Jim Garrison
Mintty seems to be interpreting Alt+ codes in OCTAL instead of decimal, based on the Unicode code point and not the Windows Alt+ codes. For example, Windows' Character Map applet shows the "Euro" symbol as Unicode character U+20AC and Alt+0128. Entering Alt+0128 in mintty has no discer

Installing bash-completion package slows down bash startup 20-30x

2010-11-16 Thread Jim Garrison
Apologies if this is a duplicate, I never saw it appear on the list. After installing bash-completion, bash startup goes from about 1/2  second to 10-15 seconds.  During this time, the bash process (as viewed in Process Explorer) consumes almost no CPU time, but the System process (PID 4) is peg

I moved aside c:\cygwin and reinstalled from scratch. The problem seems to have cured itself, but I did nothing different on the second install. Oh well... -Original Message- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Jim Garrison Sent: Monday

File mode 0700 for windows-created files?

2007-02-02 Thread Jim Garrison
Every file created by a non-Cygwin app appears in Cygwin with mode 0700. I've read the documents pertaining to ntfs permissions in Cygwin but don't see a way to configure things so that Cygwin sees them as a more reasonable 0755 or 0644 (for non-executables). This is a nuisance since when I uploa
