it seems that file ownership is often not displayed correctly. for example, if i'm user1 and i type "ls -l" in directory /home , the system says that ALL user directories belong to user1 . note that user1 need NOT be an administrator. but cygwin seems to obey the access permissions consistent with the correct ownership. for example, user1 can't cd into the directory /home/user2 even though the ls command says that that directory belongs to user1.
what explains this behavior? is it a bug or some peculiarity of the software? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
