RE: ssh error 'The descriptor is a file, not a socket'

Thanks David,

The 10/31/2001 snapshot doesn't seem to have the problem.  I replaced only
the cygwin1.dll file of the 1.3.3 release with the 10/31 snapshot of it.
SSHD didn't crash this time, and I can now ssh to my Win98 laptop.  This is
good because my LCD display goes berzerk every once in awhile, and lately
it's seemed to follow Murphy's Law:  it has problems just when I need to run
some Win98 console apps on it.

Jeff, you may want to try out the 10/31 snapshot and see if your problem
goes away too.

-Kris

You mean cygwin-inst-...?  Did you follow instructions in the FAQ?
You should have unpacked this under /, not /usr.

Indeed, there is something very wrong with the 20011101 cygwin1.dll
snapshot.  That's part of the joy of snapshots!  Try 20011031.

The 2001-Nov-03 < or newer > snapshot should be OK
At least they work for me :-)

Getting ready to restore my system I noticed this file:

Based on the time, it is was produced by the 'sshd' command after my first
attempt to use the snapshot (cygwin1.dll replaced by cygwin1-20011101.dll).

Hope this helps,
Kris

Hello David,

This morning I tried the snapshots cygwin1-20011101.dll (moved it to
/bin/cygwin1.dll) and the install stapshot cygwin-20011101.tar.bz2 (unpacked
it so it replaces many files under /usr - /usr/bin seems aliased to /bin
somehow).  With both ways of installing the snapshot, sshd gives
segmentation fault (worse than what was happening under the release
version).  Actually, I've noticed that outgoing ssh's and ftp's also seg
fault, so the problem is unlikely ssh-related, I think.

I'll restore my cygwin 1.3.3 now and hope someone can make sense of the ssh
debug log I sent earlier.

Also, the download of source I got for openssh
(openssh-2.9.9p2-1-src.tar.bz2) was corrupted (not a bz2 file).  I
downloaded from both ftp://planetmirror.com and ftp://ftp.nas.nasa.gov and
got the same corrupted file.

Thanks,
Kris

Try a snapshot, it should be fixed there.  (But snapshots may
introduce other problems...)
