similar to: [PATCH]: Cygwin: Changes to cygwin contrib area

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, I have added two features to the ssh-host-config script which is used in Cygwin installations to prepare the host based OpenSSH configuration. Now it cares for a /var/log/lastlog file if it's not already installed (Thanks to "Karl M" <karlm30 at hotmail.com> for that patch) and it now asks the user if s/he wants to install sshd as a NT service and, if so, installs it.

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 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 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, would you mind to apply the below patch? It fixes Cygwin's ssh-host-config script in various ways: - Remove old code to remove the "sshd/22" entry from /etc/services. This code fixes a problem which only existed in installations which are more than 10 years old. - Handle the StrictMode setting interactively. - Fix regular expressions looking for white spaces. - Make the

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, 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 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

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, just a short addition to the Cygwin README. It would be nice to include that into the repository.

Hi, I have a small patch here which changes the Cygwin README file so that the following fact is mentioned. OpenSSH never uses $HOME to search for user config files but the value in the pw_dir field in /etc/passwd. This might be of minor interest for generic U*X folks but that's an important fact for Cygwin users. When /etc/passwd is automatically created under WinNT/2K it uses the values

Hi, the following patch to contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config creates /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config according to the current default config files. Could somebody please check it in?

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.

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 latest update to contrib/cygwin/README was missing the documentaion of the new ssh-host-config options. The below patch fixes that. Please apply.

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.

Hi, could somebody apply the below patch to contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config? The patch solves a problem with the way, the Windows pendant of the /etc/services file is used. This file has (obviously) CRLF line endings. The ssh-host-config file tries to accomodate that when adding the ssh service entries but I never reviewed this functionality in the light of some major changes in the Cygwin DLL.
