And man sh states " --norc Do not read and execute the personal initialization file ~/.bashrc if the shell is interactive. This option is on by default if the shell is invoked as sh." Which eliminates bashrc as a possible culprit. I have also tried the same as you did (len.sh on a samba share) and saw the same problem. Then I saw that the len.sh got a (cygwin *and* linux) mode of -rwxrw-r-- *without* doing any chmod. Then I saw that *every* file I create on the samba share, gets the same mode! First things first, is there a workaround? Yes, chmod 777 len.sh *done on linux* works. And it actually works too when done on cygwin. However, recreating len.sh on cygwin, then a chmod 700 len.sh again on cygwin, does not work, again "./len.sh: Permission denied". But the mode seen on the linux side is -rwx------. I have also tried deleting then recreating the file in cygwin, then closing all cygwin processes and unmapping and remapping the samba drive. No cigar. Then I tried cacls in various situations. It turns out that with mode 777, cacls reveals "Everyone:F", but with mode 700 we get: len.sh <Account Domain not found>F <Account Domain not found>(special access:) Everyone:(special access:) And getfacl says: # file: len.sh # owner: ???????? # group: ???????? user::rwx group::--- mask:rwx other:--- Now I would say cygwin behaves as expected in my case: owner has execute permission, but who is the owner? Unfortunately this can only be *part* of the explanation, since for the OP it is # file: len.sh # owner: lgiambro # group: releng user::rwx group::--- mask:rwx other:--- (see thread head for the cacls). His samba setup is obviously better than mine. But now I cant be sure my workaround (mode 777) will work in his case.
