similar to: [PATCH]: Add features to Cygwin's ssh-host-config script

Hi, the following patch changes two files in the contrib/cygwin subdir: It changes the Cygwin specific README file which adds some hints related to the new feature to switch user context without password (which means using public key and/or rhosts authentication). Some old stuff is erased. The changes to ssh-host-config are intended to allow an easier startup for users which are new to Cygwin

Hi, the below patch to contrib/cygwin is a major rework to allow various changes in the installation process on Cygwin machines. The important changes are: - New Makefile, providing a `cygwin-postinstall' target which allows to create a base installation as in the Cygwin distribution, which should be run right after a `make install'. - Additional information given in the README

Hi, the following patch patches the files in contrib/cygwin. The changes are necessary to allow a better support of privilege separation. On NT machines the script asks now if it should create a user called "sshd" and all that. Additionally it creates the /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config files follows the latest versions. Would you mind to apply this to the official OpenSSH

Hi, the following patch fixes a wrong path in a chown command. The additional leading slash collides with accessing SMB shares using double slashes as in "//server/share" on Windows systems.

Hi, Cygwin only: Under some circumstances, the sshd service gets accidentally started *before* the network service has been started up. The reason that this can happen is, that the sshd service gets installed without a dependency to the network service in contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config so far. The below patch fixes that by adding a dependency to the "tcpip" Windows service. This

Hi, could somebody with checkin rights please apply the below patch? It modernizes and improves readability of the Cygwin README file (which hasn't been updated for ages), drops unsupported OSes from the ssh-host-config help text, and drops an unneeded option from ssh-user-config. Thanks in advance, Corinna Index: contrib/cygwin/README

Hi, could somebody with checkin rights please apply the below patch? It would be helpful to have this in 5.9p1. I revamped the Cygwin-specific service installer script ssh-host-config. The actual functionality is the same, the revisited version is just more exact when it comes to check for problems which disallow to run certain aspects of the script. So, part of this script and the also

Hi all, I'm trying to get rsync running on a Windows 2k box (my tape backup server) to remotely back up stuff from a few unix boxes. Not my favored constellation, but there's not much I can do about that. I'm hoping someone could give me a quick tip or two on getting rsync working as a Win2k service. I'm not real proficient with Win2k, so be gentle. The posts I could find

I posted this message to the cygwin mailing list, but I thought I'd try it here too... flip --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I am using rsync 2.5.5 protocol version 26 with cygwin 1.3.10-1. When I connect to a directory that resides on the computer, everything works great. When I connect to a directory that is a mapped UNC drive, rsync

Hi, I have attached two new shell scripts `ssh-host-config' and `ssh-user-config' which will replace the script `ssh-config' in the next Cygwin OpenSSH release. Could somebody with write access please remove contrib/cygwin/ssh-config from the OpenSSH repository and add these two attached files instead? The third attached file is the diff for contrib/cygwin/README. Thanks in

Hi, below is a patch to Cygwin's ssh-host-config file. So far this script allowed to have a lastlog file as well as a lastlog dir, whatever the user preferred. This is no problem as long as ssh is the only application using lastlog, but that's nothing we can be sure about, so we decided to restrict lastlog to being a file in a Cygwin installation. This also allows reliable porting and

Hi! I'm having a bit of a problem setting up an rsync operation between two Windows 2000 servers. On one of the machines I have started an rsync Daemon (service, started as administrator) using the lines below. On the other machine I do a rsync -Pzrtvpo /cygdrive/d/root/Folder administrator@192.168.2.4::root What happens is that all transferred files (no problem with the actual transfer)

Hi, below is a patch to contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config and the corresponding README in the same dir. It adds a `--port' option to the config script to allow setting another port than 22 for sshd. Additionally the script used to add `sshd 22/tcp' to the services file while the IANA proposes `ssh 22/tcp' and `ssh 22/udp' as services entries. The new version removes old `sshd'

Hi, the following patch checks if OpenSSH is running under a Cygwin version >= 1.3.2 which allows switching user context without password. Otherwise sshd allows changing the user context only if password authentication is used as it was before.

When using Cygwin Rsync 2.5.6/OpenSSH 3.6.1 for copying files from Win2k->Win2k, I get 2 or 3 hung processes on the receiving-side out of about every 50 runs. These hung processes cause the system to be unable to reboot(?!), requiring a hard reset. Killing the processes allows a graceful reboot every time. I'm currently running both ssh and rsync as services on the recieving side.

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, The below patch fixes two problems. The first one is a better support for automated scripts. The old script had a logic problem when it came to asking the caller for the user account to use for the sshd service. The second is a problem in the usage of eval. Could somebody with checkin rights please apply the patch? Thanks, Corinna Index: contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config

Hi, the attached patch file contains two patches in one: - contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config: Create sshd_config according to latest changes. - openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c: Rewrite a bit to allow easier retrieval of Cygwin capabilities from version number (uname). For Cygwin versions beginning with API minor version 56 assume ntsec being on by default. Thanks in advance for applying

Hi, the below patch is necessary for the contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config script to work on Cygwin 1.5.x as well as on the new Cygwin 1.7.x. The information given for the setting of the CYGWIN environment variable is wrong for both releases so I just removed it, together with the unnecessary (Cygwin 1.5.x) or wrong (Cygwin 1.7.x) default setting. Could somebody with checkin rights please apply

Hi all, Thank-you to all the developers for rsync. It is very well done. I have rsync running on various platforms connecting to the same server and all is good. Except for 1 Win2000 Prof. server. I backup several directories with various permissions and users successfully. However, there are 2 directories that even though the permissions are the same as other directories that are
