Hi!

- All the environment-related problems should be fixed.
- Application's start-up time decreased (read /etc/passwd and /etc/group
  only when neccessary, but not on every process startup).
- Fixed a bug in setpwent() call.
- If the environment variable CYGWIN_TITLE is set to "strip", the executable's
  path is not dispayed on console title.

Hi!

 - rcmd(), rexec(), rresvport(), socketpair() calls implemented.

Signal handling in precompiled binary changed (no source provided for a now).
Chris Faylor rewrote signal handling stuff with semaphores instead of window
messages. With this changes new dll runs stable on Windows 95! I successfully
rebuilt the whole b18 cdk from the scratch on Windows 95 with this dll. Try it!

Congratulations!  I'm really glad to be able to use the gnu-win32 tools on
my computer again.  Any word on when b19 is comming out?
<PLUG>
With a little bit more kludging, I hope to have a chrooted rpm 2.4.7
(right now i #define'd chroot (x) return 0;).  However I also took the
coolview.tar.gz and put just the .a and .dll libs in a little tar file on
my web page, for those who have faster connections to the usa than to
Russia. ( http://www.hooked.net/~garbanzo/gnuwin32 )

 Wonderful!  Is there an include file where prototypes for these
 functions are available?

Ack.  I took a quick look at the patch, and I was thinking, wouldn't it be
better to trap any non AF_INET sockets, and then return EPROTONOSUPPORT 
or EAFNOSUPPORT?

Assuming the functions follow basic BSDisms, the prototypes should be as
follows:

/* unistd.h */
int rcmd (char **, int, char *, char *, char *, int *);
int rresvport (int);
/* sys/socket.h */
int socketpair (int, int, int, int *);
/* ? */
int rexec (char **, int, char *, char *, char *, int *);

Hi!

- Do not send SIGCHLD to parent on process exit if running on Windows 95 and
CYGWIN_SIGCHLD environment variable not set.
- Fixed errno value of fcntl syscall.

In.rexecd in remote.tar.gz checks now remote user name/password against NT security database and works on NT only.

Re: New patch available

[Jerome Gay]

 James-

Sorry to bother you, but I cannot get telnetd to work on NT4SP3...
Did you tweak something to get it work ?
Did you set some special user rights in NT ?
How are you running inetd (as a service, or from command line) ?
I'll appreciate your help.

Re: New patch available

[Micheal A. Benzinger]

Jerome,

I, too, had problems getting telnetd using NT4SP3 as you.  To
rectify these problems I took two steps:

1) I had to add user rights as specified at the bottom of
   Sergey's home page to the user that was used to start
   up the inetd service.

2) I had to ensure that I had a valid /etc/passwd and /etc/group
   and, in my case, they had to be UNIX type files with only
   linefeeds and not DOS type files with lines feeds and carriage
   returns.

After I made these two changes I was able to log in from any of
our UNIX hosts as well as other NT work stations.

I hope this helps,

Mike Benzinger

P.S.  I was able to get VIM 5.0l to compile and run after
applying the patches made by Chris Faylor in version 5.0h
and the modification to vim.h that I found.  After this
VIM seems to be rolling along fairly nicely except for the
fact that at work I am experiencing some problems with 
"dd" and "j" not updating the screen when deleting a line
or scrolling at the bottom of the screen.

[Sergey Okhapkin]

Hi!

- console code no longer alway translates CR to NL when tty support is 
enabled. The behavior depends now of termios settings.
- signals should terminate blocking socket calls.
- Chris Faylor's (cfg@bbc.com) patch for wait and SIGCHLD raising logic - 
cygwin processes now waits non-cygwin processes correctly, no more time 
races problems with SIGCHLD raising and process's exit.
- utmp/wtmp files are filled now for every cygwin's session (both local 
session and telnet session). "Who" command works now. Create /var/run and 
/var/log directories to enable utmp logging.
- syslog() call handles now %m macro.
- signal raising keys (ctrl-C, ctrl-\ etc) restarts suspended tty output.

New internet servers/clients added to remote.tar.gz

Installed this on my NT 4.0SP3 workstation and ran into a couple of gotchas:
  - Telneting into your own machine appears to work correctly, but
telneting from some other machines (Suns running SunOS 4.1.3 in my
    experiments) did not echo terminal input -- commands only appeared
    after a return (you had to type blind). I compared stty -all outputs
    and did not find anything different. I also tried telneting from my
    PC to a Unix box then back to my PC; this also didn't work
    correctly. [Telneting from Solaris (5.5.1) does work correctly.]
  - stty rows x doesn't work. "Locally" (non-telnet), the command is
    accepted but has no effect (as indicated by a subsequent stty -all).
    When logged in through telnet, stty rows x gives "stty: standard
    input: No such file or directory."
