-------- chown,chmod and ls -l work just fine on local drives, but not on network drives.
My "/tmp" is on the local c drive, and "/cygdrive/s" is a network drive on our NT4.0 SP6A PDC; all commands below done on a NT6.0 SP6A workstatation in the same domain as the PDC. /tmp $ id -un adm_tsr /tmp $ groups ES_staff.gbl Administrators Domain Users ES_admin.gbl Users ccm_users.gbl /tmp $ for dir in /tmp /cygdrive/s ; do > cd $dir ; rm -f foo; touch foo; chown adm_ds foo > ls -l foo > echo $(getowner foo) # see http://peter.verhas.com/progs/c/nt/owner/ > rm -f foo > done -rw-rw-r-- 1 adm_ds ES_staff 0 Dec 19 13:35 foo adm_ds -rw-r--r-- 1 adm_tsr ES_staff 0 Dec 19 13:35 foo Administrators For /cygdrive/s/foo, chown silently failed and ls -l foo said "adm_tsr" owned foo when "Administrators" was the real owner. What am I missing? Is there a fix for this, or do I have an incorrect config setting? I have included more background info below. -- thanks/regards, Tom Rodman perl -e 'print unpack("u", "\.\=\$\!T\<F\]D\;6\%N\+F\-O\;0H\`");' --v-v------------------C-U-T---H-E-R-E-------------------------v-v-- (Were running NT4.0 SP6A) background on my setup { /cygdrive/s $ cygcheck -sv|egrep '^s: ' # to show s is a network drive s: net NTFS 64456Mb 73% CP CS UN PA FC I:\SCM == S Mnt PT s: /drv/s system binmode /cygdrive/s $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-4.0 WS011206 1.3.17(0.67/3/2) 2002-11-27 18:54 i686 unknown /cygdrive/s $ echo $CYGWIN ; cd /tmp binmode tty ntsec /tmp $ egrep 'adm_tsr|adm_ds' /etc/passwd|fold adm_ds:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11061:11068:Dennis Schneider,U-SP.CG.JCI.COM\adm_ds, S-1-5-21-2133283647-1515675855-1238779560-1061:/user/build:/bin/bash adm_tsr:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11487:11068:Tom Rodman,U-SP.CG.JCI.COM\adm_tsr,S-1- 5-21-2133283647-1515675855-1238779560-1487:/user/adm_tsr:/bin/bash /tmp $ xcacls . c:\aut\cyg\tmp Everyone:F Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)F /tmp $ cd /cygdrive/s; xcacls . s:\ SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_admin.gbl:(OI)(IO)F SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_admin.gbl:(CI)F SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_admin.lcl:(OI)(IO)F SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_admin.lcl:(CI)F SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_staff.gbl:(OI)(IO)F SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_staff.gbl:(CI)F SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_staff.lcl:(OI)(IO)F SP.CG.JCI.COM\ES_staff.lcl:(CI)F NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(IO)F NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(CI)F Everyone:(OI)(IO)(special access:) GENERIC_READ GENERIC_EXECUTE Everyone:(CI)R SP.CG.JCI.COM\build:(OI)(IO)(special access:) GENERIC_READ GENERIC_EXECUTE SP.CG.JCI.COM\build:(CI)R /cygdrive/s } -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
