From: ghart AT siemens-psc DOT com (Geoff Hart) Subject: Ctrl-C (signal) processing in a multi-user environment 4 Jun 1998 07:32:16 -0700 Message-ID: <000401bd8f27$ecabf1f0$834786a1.cygnus.gnu-win32@arch3.empros.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "Cyg-Win32" Hi, I'm running multiple bash sessions with 2 different users. As far as I can tell, the users have identical user rights, home directories, .... everything. However, if I hit Ctrl-C in user1's window, it works properly. If I hit Ctrl-C in user2's window, nothing happens. I think the terminal (xterm) is acting properly because if (in the user2 window) I do: $ login login: user1 Password: $ ... then Ctrl-C works properly again. It appears that user2 bash simply ignores the signal generated by the tty input processing. Does this make sense? I don't know much about the security model NT uses, but since the cygwinXXX.dll is shared amongst different users, and each user has potentially different user rights, I wonder how signals are propagated.
