similar to: [patch/cygwin]: Fix documentation

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, 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, 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, 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 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, 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 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, 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, 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 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, 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, the below patch adds a Windows NT user right to the sshd_server user which will be important in an upcoming version of Cygwin. I have a preliminary implementation which solves the problem that native Windows processes don't recognize the user name correctly, if the user has logged in using public key authentication. The new mechanism requires the SeTcbPrivilege for the user which

Hi all. OK, so I have a mostly Solaris infrastructure with a group of Windows 2000 server boxes. I installed Cygwin rsync/ssh on them and have been using it to keep Web images up to date by pushing them from a central server thus: /usr/local/bin/rsync -e ssh -vrtz --delete --rsync-path=c:/cygwin/bin/rsync.exe /webnfs/webfiles/images/ winserver:d:/webfiles/images This sync runs as the UNIX user

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, could somebody with checking rights please apply the below patch? It's only a small fix to the README file to remove a reference to the obsolete minires-devel package, and to add the reference to the libedit-devel package since CYgwin now provides libedit as well.

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, 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

I am trying to follow http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Rootless to set up a personal dovecot server that does not use 'root' and does not need to change uids/gids. I'm trying to set it up on a Cygwin personal system. The problem I'm running into though, the directions say to set "user" and "auth_user" to be the same in this setup. However when you do this, Dovecot

Hi, the attached patch is very important for Cygwin. I don't know how I could have missed that for months now :-( I hope this can be included in 2.5.1p2. The pw_gecos field in Cygwin's /etc/passwd contains Windows specific authentication informations which let NT domain users logon to a machine without the need to inform the logon server (sshd in our case) about the name of the NT
