similar to: Port of OpenSSH-2.1.1p4 to Cygwin

I had to update the Cygwin port for two reasons: - scp could fail because of another textmode/binmode problem. - Privileged ports are not privileged on Windows and there's no coherence between privileged user and uid 0. So I send the complete patch again with the above changes. ChangeLog: ========== - Makefile.in: Changed to support $EXEEXT transparently. Added `cygwin_util.o' to

Hi, attached is a patch which solves the following problem: Sometimes scp could hang in Cygwin when used as remote end using the -t option. This is due to a binmode/textmode problem which could be raised by the login shell which is used by the user and it's setting of textmode on stdin. The patch solves that problem by explicitly setting binmode on stdin. Besides solving the hanging

Hi all, I have just successfully ported openssh-2.1.0p3 to Cygwin. As you may know, Cygwin is a GPLed POSIX layer for Windows OSes. To be serious: I don't _like_ Windows systems and sometimes I really hate that STUPID concessions which are necessary when trying to get U*X software working on Windoze but for some reason that's exactly the reason, why I love to work on Cygwin! Porting to

Attached is the patch for the Cygwin port of 2.2.0p1. As usual I didn't attach the patch to `configure' but only the patch to `configure.in'. BTW: I have attached a gzip'd version of the patch since it's size is > 20K and I thought that it might be too big. The gzip'd diff is < 8K. What are "Small attachments (such as diff files) within the bounds of common

Hi, Here is the problem (syscall.c, function do_open) on NT, Win2K, WinXP, with stripped "/" for UNC path convention, detected in release 2.5.5, 2.5.6: int do_open(char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode) { if (flags != O_RDONLY) { if (dry_run) return -1; CHECK_RO } #ifdef O_BINARY /* for Windows */ flags |= O_BINARY; #endif /* some systems can't handle a double / */

Hi I found a small Bug when compiling OpenSSH under Win32 using Cygwin. When you use SSH as a interactive Shell everthing looks normal but when you try to transfer binary data via SSH you will get only garbage. Example: ssh -l root -i ./.ssh/identity server1 cat /tmp/test.tar.gz > c:\test.tar.gz The problem is that stdout is opend as Text-File so every LF which

Hi As my cross platform registry editor (FRED available from https://www.pinguin.lu (sorry for advertising but I couldn't resist ;-))) is evolving, I recently added write support to it. While under Linux everything worked nice, the Windblows build didn't. It seems that Windows opens files by default in text mode (O_TEXT) which is a problem. The attached patch adds the O_BINARY flag to

I am enclosing a context diff of the changes that I made to get openssh working on UWIN. UWIN is a UNIX operating system layer that runs on Win32 systems. For more information on UWIN go to http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/. I also ran configure using -with-cppflags=-D_BSDCOMP=2. I don't know where that information would go with the source code. Let me know if you need more

Hi, the following patch by Pierre A. Humblet <Pierre.Humblet at ieee.org> allows to use more than one uid on 9x/Me boxes which is currently blocked due to the behaviour of Cygwin's security code. After this patch is applied to sshd, we can safely change the affected code in Cygwin. Thanks, Corinna Index: session.c ===================================================================

The attached patch should solve the following problem: ssh-agent creates a temporary directory under /tmp with '600' permissions. The actual socket file is created in that dir using the default umask. That's no problem in U*X systems since nobody but the owner of the directory can read the socket file. Unfortunately, Windows has a user privilege called "Bypass traverse

Hi, I've sent that patch once already but it seems more or less forgotten in the tumultuous days of the latest vulnerability. It adds a new define NO_IPPORT_RESERVED_CONCEPT which can be defined on platforms not supporting the concept of "privileged" ports only accessible by privileged users but which allow everyone to use these ports. This patch removes some Cygwin dependencies

Hi, the following patch fixes a potential security hole in the Cygwin version of sshd. If you're logging in to a Cygwin sshd with version 2 protocol using an arbitrary user name which is not in /etc/passwd, the forked sshd which is handling this connection crashes with a segmentation violation. The client side encounters an immediate disconnect ("Connection reset by peer").

Hi, the following patch removes some of the Cygwin specific code from OpenSSH. Since Cygwin is able to change the user context on NT/W2K even without a password since the new Cygwin version 1.3.2, there's no need anymore to allow changing the user context only if the sshd user is the same user as the one which logs in or when a password is given. For that reason the whole function

Hi, the below patch removes two special cases for Cygwin, which are already superfluous for a good while. - openbsd-compat/bsd-openpty.c: Since openpty() is implemented in Cygwin now, the bsd-openpty.c code just isn't build into OpenSSH on Cygwin. So the Cygwin special case is useless. - When building OpenSSH for Cygwin, the minires-devel package (development package for the special

Hi, I have added calls to `check_ntsec()' to the code which checks for the ownership and modes of identity files and directories. As you might know, check_ntsec() tests if owner/modes are supported by the OS (9x/ME=no, NT/W2K=yes), the filesystem (FAT/FAT32=no, NTFS=yes) and the current Cygwin settings (ntea/ntsec).

I've been running rsync-2.4.2 with an old patch of mine for some time for backup purposes. Due to the recent remote bug, I thought it was time to upgrade, even if the host was behind a firewall. So I dug up the old patch (2.5.2 version attached), that I think I sent ages ago to this list as well. It does the following: (1) Firstly, the only sensible way to run something as

Hiya. While merging the 2.6.0 changes into our modified version of rsync, I noticed the following bit of code in 2.6.0's options.c: extern int sanitize_paths; if (sanitize_paths) sanitize_path(strdup(files_from), NULL); filesfrom_fd = open(files_from, O_RDONLY|O_BINARY); Since sanitize_path modifies its first argument in place, the path that open()

Hi, as it turned out on the Cygwin mailing list, the special handling of empty password in auth-passwd.c when running under Windows NT results in problems. Cause: The authentication methode "none" calls auth_password() with an empty password. A piece of HAVE_CYGWIN code allows empty passwords even if PermitEmptyPasswords is set to "no". This in turn results in calling

Hi, OpenSSH 5.9 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as possible. This release contains a couple of new features and changes and bug fixes. Testing of the new sandboxed privilege separation mode (see below) would be particularly appreciated. Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/ The

Hi, the following patch is a (hopefully least intrusive) extension when sshd is started so that it daemonizes itself. In that case Windows 9x/Me has a slight problem with sshd as soon as the current user logs off. The sshd daemon will be killed as well. Since installing services is very different between NT and 9x, the way used for NT boxes isn't working well for 9x. For that reason
