Re: Output suppressed with ssh or telnet


So, this wierdness ges better - Mitch Nibbelink wrote me with this:

So, if you're ssh'd into a cygwin box, things like 'net start' don't display anything, and if you use cygwin's perl to do a system call, it still doesn't. Use Activestate while ssh'd in and it works as it should.


Yet while on the console, all works as it should. Anyone have a clue why this might be behaving like this?

when I'm in telnet or ssh and run Dos programs like Word Star, Norton
Commander or a Cobol run-time for dos, I do not receive any Output, but
the programs are running !! If i try in local the programs works well.
I have read the Email in Mail List, I would like to know if a solution exists.

Hmmm...I've just run into this myself...but it doesn't seem to be universal with all apps:
pwohlers@dc1 ~
$ which net
/cygdrive/c/winnt/system32/net


pwohlers@dc1 ~
$ net help

pwohlers@dc1 ~
$ ipconfig
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.5
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1



So, you see from the above output, ipconfig spews forth as it should, but the net command's output seems suppressed.

These are pretty up-to-date installs:
pwohlers@dc1 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 dc1 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) 2003-03-18 09:20 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin
pwohlers@dc1 ~
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702f


Is there something in particular we should be looking at to help us diagnose the root cause of this?

Thanks,
