So from the reply below I take it hasn't been fixed/worked around in a snapshot. But my experiments show something has changed. With the snapshot I can create a file, with the standard 1.7.9 dll I can't. >> >> Same problem here.

Hm, it seems something really has changed, I can't reproduce the problem at the moment. I can create a file, delete it but can’t change permissions. The latter breaks d2u: $> touch /u/blubb $> d2u /u/blubb dos2unix: Failed to change the permissions of temporary output file /u/d2utmpaF6gvB: Permission denied dos2unix: converting file /u/blubb to Unix format ... dos2unix: problems converting file /u/blubb $> rm /u/blubb rm: remove regular empty file `/u/blubb'? y $> Is there anything in the snapshot that could explain it? Or did I mess up everything here? Confused... Well, I just cross checked. Reinstalled 1.7.9 and the problem is back. So the snapshot seems to have fixed it. That is, this snapshot: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 p01080268 1.7.10s(0.253/5/3) 20111017 18:26:05 i686 Cygwin Didn't try the latest. With the snapshot it behaves like 1.7.7 apparently. Michael
