Thanks, Larry. What I mean by external file is a file created by Windows (not created in the cygwin environment). Files that are writable in windows appear to be readonly (000) in the bash shell. I assume that because they're owned by me I can chmod them to modify them.
As a non-domain user, you should be able to create a file in Windows and see that you have access to that file in Cygwin without modifications. Try this at a DOS prompt (and not in bash or other Cygwin shell): echo foo > foo ls -l foo When I do this on my home machine where I'm working as a local user, I see: -rwx------+ 1 lhall None 6 Sep 2 18:08 foo -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
