DB2 and cygwin ... - DB2 Database

Dirk Deimeke

Hi,

I am running the newest Adminclient with Cygwin as shell.

db2cmd /c /w /i "bash --login -i"

In two of thre cases, I cannot connect to a database using

db2 connect to <database> user <user>

I get the question for a password, the password is typed in and I see
the last letter of the password (the other part is hidden) and the
connect goes fail.

If I try another conenct, I can see the whole password.

db2 connect to <database> user <user> using <password>

works in all cases. But it is bad to see the cleartext password.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Strange, I just tried this and it seems to work fine for me.
Traditionally, I've used the latter method (including the USING clause
for the password) as I seem to remember running into the problem with
entering the password interactively in the past. But, as mentioned
above, it seems to work fine now.

Are you running a reasonably recent version of Cygwin / DB2? For
reference, the versions I'm running are:

Cygwin DLL: 1.5.17-1
Bash: 2.05b-17
DB2: 8.1.0.36 (DB2 Connect client)

The other thing to check is your CYGWIN environment variable. I seem to
remember including "tty" in the variable causes problems (for
reference, mine doesn't include tty).

HTH, Dave.

Direct hit!

I tried setting CYGWIN environment to 'ntsec' (formerly 'ntsec tty') and
now it seems to work.

Many thanks for your help.

how to find the drive in python/cygwin?

Hello: I'm running python under cygwin and need to find the drive letter. Cygwin has a way of calling my drives by a name relative to the Cygwin directory, so I get things like /home/user rather than /cygdrive/g/cygwin/home/usr, etc. How can I find the letter of the drive, or in the above example, the letter 'g'?
