I have been puzzling over why a cygwin bash shell cannot access the c:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\backup directory. I have added "Users" and "cyg_server" account to directory permissions. I still cannot cd to or copy from the backup sub-directory. I saw postings regarding accessing certain System32 files failing with 32-bit apps. I tried creating a file system Junction link to the inetsrv directory, still no luck.
Without knowing for sure, I'm going to guess that you're running on 64-bit Windows. If that's the case, what you're seeing is not Cygwin- specific. It's the Windows file system redirector that keeps 32-bit programs from accessing the ones in "System32" (oh the irony!) If you really want to do this, try looking down the c:\Windows\sysnative subtree instead. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
