Hi openssh developers, I'm trying to port openssh to Interix. See [1] for more on this. For Interix sshd needs to be patched to not use setuid()/setgid(), but an Interix specific function setuser().

I diffed a clean 3.7.1p2 and one modified by the folks at Interop Systems to compile under Interix (the Windows Posix layer updated in the new Services For Unix release). The bulk of it is removing the hardcoded root UID and GID. If someone is interested in this, I'd be happy to send a diff (though anyone can inspect the changes by grabbing the package from

Hi! I recently updated my now long-standing patches for openssh 5.5p1 on interix, and wondered if i ever reported those here, and whether there would be any interest in it anyway. So just to make sure, i'm sending it here, so you may do with it however you like. It would be cool to see the changes go upstream though ;) Regards, markus -------------- next part -------------- A non-text

Question by Eric Lindblad 05-09-2015 http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com I would enquire if anyone has an opinion on whether it might be a possibility that adding the following #ifdef in certain xapian-core-1.2.21 /common and/or /backends files following the string #include <sys/types.h> might move closer towards resolution the 'ambiguous overload' issue. +#ifdef __INTERIX +#

I've been trying to sync two directories under interix between two machines on the local network and I keep getting the flowing errors:- The first error is "failed: Bad address (14)" which always occurs rsync: readlink "/dev/fs/D/Media/Audio/The Hoosiers/desktop.ini" failed: Bad address (14) The second is randomly occuring, restarting will make it continue for a bit then

I'm need to run a rsync server on a Quad 2.8Ghz , 1Gb RAM, 1Terabyte of disk.. Dell 725N - it's a storage, NAS type box running W2K, RAID 5 etc.. A real beast.. :-) The Unix guys want to backup their boxes to this beast using rsync clients. It would seem that Windows Services for Unix (WSU) is the key.. Current version gives me a fully compliant POSIX environment, not reliant on
