Re: Setting up a ssh service
I had made these instructions copied off somewhere a while back for setting up sshd service on windows... add a new entry to system variables: New variable name is CYGWIN, variable value is ntsec Also add to the Path system variable and click the "Edit" edit button and append to it: ;c:\cygwin\bin open cygwin... (make sure openssh is installed, if not get it by running cygwin's setup.exe) Run: ssh-host-config (on slower computers, it may take several minutes to generate the dsa keys) When the script asks you about "privilege separation", answer yes When the script asks you about "install sshd as a service", answer yes When the script asks you for "CYGWIN=" your answer is ntsec start the sshd service net start sshd (or cygrunsrv -S sshd) harmonize Windows user information with cygwin, otherwise users cannot log into shh. mkpasswd creates a password file from Windows' user list...include Windows security information, but the actual passwords are determined by Windows, not by the content of /etc/passwd. mkgroup creates a group file from Windows' user list mkpasswd --local > /etc/passwd mkgroup --local> /etc/group enjoy, Arian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
'service serviceName start|stop|restart' command available in cygwin?
I was going through and installing some commands in cygwin that I am used to using in linux like chkconfig, etc. And I was wondering if there was 'service' command avilable and if so, in what package?

Re: copy-paste
hah yeh that has teed me off as well for past few years with XP as well... if you can figure out a way to do it via XP's cmd.exe also as well cygwin's command line, would be great. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: copy-paste
hah i figured it out after so many years, good old google... Open up a Cygwin Bash Shell and click on Properties in (click top left corner in command window), then the Options tab, and check Quick Edit Mode... Same applies to XP cmd window. open up a cmd window and goto properties, and then Options Tab, and check Quick Edit Mode Enjoy, Arian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
email list
Hello all, Can we not get this list to add [cygwin] to beginning of the email subject? All other lists do it i have; just annoying to look at cygwin list emails in gmail and trying to figure out where it came from without setting up email filter or clicking the email itself.
