By default there are no Cygwin settings in the registry anymore. There are still the "heap_chunk_in_mb" and "heap_slop_in_mb" values, as well as the entries in the "Program Options" subkey. But they only exist if you created them yourself. > Our Windows Administrator has made no changes to the file server, and > he's quite competent, so nothing has changed there. Does a call to chmod fail as well? If so, can you create an strace of such a chmod, like this: $ touch foo $ strace -o chmod.trace chmod 444 foo and send the chmod.trace file to the list?
