similar to: [PATCH]: Cygwin: Allow sshd to switch user context without password

Hi, the following patch rearranges some checkings in bsd-cygwin-util.c to keep in sync with Cygwin versions. I moved the uname() check into it's own function so that it's easier to add further checks when necessary. Corinna Index: openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c =================================================================== RCS file:

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, is it possible to apply the below patch before 3.8.1p1 comes out? Due to a posting on the Cygwin mailing list it turned out, that the prerequisites to allow public key authentication where to tight. Since Cygwin version 1.5.x the so called `ntsec' setting isn't require anymore to allow switching user context without password. The below patch to bsd-cygwin_util.c fixes the test for

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, I have left this slip through already too long. When compiling openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c, the following warnings appear: openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c: In function `binary_open': openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c:67: warning: implicit declaration of function `open' openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c: In function `binary_pipe': openbsd-compat/bsd-cygwin_util.c:73:

Hi, I need to mirror some Linux directories on a Win2000 box but the owner, group and permissions are lost. I realize Win2000 does not use the same system but thought there may be some way around it with cygwin. Is it possible to mimick /etc/passwd to preserve ownership etc? Is there a better solution?

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

Is there a way to specify "strict modes = false" on the client side? I'm having trouble getting the client to accept the password file on Windows 2000, since rsync doesn't want the file to be other-readable, but this concept doesn't map too well to Windows. Alternatively, if I could simply set the proper permissions on the passfile, that would suit me fine, but it seems

Hi. As the man page explains, and this message http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg04069.html summarizes from the different man pages rsync will not use the password file if it is world readable. Now, if the rsync team was so kind to add the "strict mode" option for the cygwin platform to ignore if the file is world readable when running in daemon mode why

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, 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, 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

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

Dear list, I'm using rsync via CYGWIN (winxp) compu to access our SUSE linux station for backup purposes. I would like to run this regularly, via BAT files, however the password stays necessary (prompt), after using a -pasword-file=/. There is no error message but password stays necessary. rsync -avzuC --delete --password-file=/cygdrive/d/test/test.txt /cygdrive/d/test/

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, 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
