I have read the documentation on 'ntsec', but I still don't understand why I can't chmod files that I own. I noticed this when using cvs.
For example: $cvs update cvs server: Updating . U blah.cpp cvs update: cannot change mode of ./blah.cpp: Invalid argument $ ls -l total 54 drwxrwxrwx 2 Administ None 4096 Sep 25 14:47 CVS -rw-rw-rw- 1 1119 None 871 Sep 25 14:15 blah.cpp Here is another example that doesn't involve cvs: $ whoami perry $ echo text > temp $ ls -l total 1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 1119 None 5 Sep 25 14:56 temp $ chown Administrator temp $ chmod -x temp $ ls -l total 1 -rw-rw-rw- 1 Administ None 5 Sep 25 14:56 temp perry cannot chmod a file owned by perry, but perry can change the file's ownership to Administrator and then chmod the file. -- 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/
