Thanks for the suggestion. I have added this to /etc/fstab: Y: /cygdrive/y smbfs binary,noacl,auto 0 0 Closed all cygwin windows, reopened one (mintty), mount says: C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto) C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto) Y: on /cygdrive/y type smbfs (binary,noacl) C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) Z: on /cygdrive/z type smbfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto) created (again...) len.sh on the samba drive, and again: $ getfacl len.sh # file: len.sh # owner: ???????? # group: ???????? user::rwx group::rw- mask:rwx other:r-- Curiouser and curiouser: the file begins with #!, hence with noacl it should be executable by anyone, right? But I still have permission denied, unless I chmod 777. BTW: I am now playing around with execute mode and samba drives to help solve the OP's problem, maybe find a bug. I actually use cygwin with ssh, scp, svn, etc. so that I do *not* have to cope with the idiosyncrasies of multiple security layers: windows + samba + linux. So, adding a 4th one is akin to masochism!
