This is not an only Cygwin question (I see it also in the output of the Windows version of Emacs's dired).
For some files in my directories, the output of ls -l gives the "Administrators" as owner. This is puzzling to me because: - There is no Administrators user listed in the Windows accounts - Under Explorer/Properties/Details, the user is my domain/my user id which is what I expect I looked in the FAQ, Documentation, Google (both cygwin and emacs). This causes problems for remote activities via ssh. I cannot operate on these files, unless I do a chown to my user id. But this then changes some of the permissions as well. And this can then lead to problems down the line if not done carefully - me and my sysadmin I learned the hard way :-) Thanks, Mirko -- 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
