I have read various info regarding trying to make Cygwin's `chmod' work as (I) expected, including the Cygwin FAQ and user guide. I am using Windows 7 with an NTFS disk. My user and group are defined as they should be AFAIK.
Two questions in this regard: . is "chmod a-w" supposed to set the Windows Read-only attribute on Windows 7? . is "chmod a-w" supposed to cause "ls -l" to show -r-r-r on Windows 7? When I do `chmod a-w' it does not seem to have any effect. The target file is still writable. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing? Thx. -- 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
