If I set the permissions of a file to be read only I can still delete it, or modify it w/out warning. eg. touch test.txt chmod 444 test.txt echo "what" >> test.txt
In ubuntu I get an error, in cygwin it just modifies the file. This is an administrator acct if that affects the issue. I am using 1.7 $ uname -srv CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 1.7.3(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-03 11:26 thanks mbs -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
