Trying to track down exact conditions for a simpler testcase for a weird error message in tar and ran across this...
in directory 'SI': /progd/Microsoft/../Tools/Sysinternals> ll -ad SI drwxrwxr-x+ 1 0 Jul 3 16:28 SI/ w/umask:
umask
0002 I make dir 'newdir':
mkdir newdir
and ls -lgG shows: d---rwxr-x+ 1 0 Jul 3 16:40 newdir/ No access for user(me). I ran into this because trying to enter the directory in explorer I got no access! Trying to look at the perms, I get warnings about the rights possibly being out of order until eventually, if I want to proceed, it claims it has to reorder them. This seems to have come from some weird setting that seems to come from Cygwin, with 5 deny records at the front for NULL, 3 local accounts and 1 domain account (me)... and the local accts ... also me of a sort. Then come various allows, some of them that would seem to undo some of the denies, but its really dependent on order -- which explorer says is suspect... Fine...so the results when I did the "mkdir newdir", were such that ended up with u-wrx, and no access in explore? Of course I can overide, but why are such weird acls on this anyway? -- especially when it doesn't seem to really work? -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
