Hmm, there's a flaw in the description. The same would also occur with DELETE set in the ACE. But still, it's more correct, isn't it. Surprise, surprise. I've just tried to delete a file in Explorer with the DELETE bit unset and there's *no* difference in behaviour at all. The only interesting bit is the old FAT R/O attribute :-((( Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc.
